Jeffrey Davis was a 4-year-old boy who died in early summer 1980 while in the care of babysitter Christine Falling in Lakeland, Florida. The autopsy listed myocarditis, a heart condition that is rarely fatal, as the cause of death. Three days later, during Jeffrey’s funeral, Falling was babysitting his 2-year-old cousin Joseph Spring; Joseph also died under similar circumstances with doctors diagnosing a viral infection that may have contributed to his death.

Those two deaths were later connected to a pattern of suspicious incidents involving children in Falling’s care. Falling was arrested in July 1982 and later convicted of multiple murders; her known methods included suffocation, and she said she heard voices directing her actions.

Did anyone know Jeffrey or his family, or have information about his care in Lakeland in 1980?
