Jeffrey Lynn Davis was 16 when he disappeared from Fort Worth, Texas, on March 27, 1985. In April 1985 his body was found in a swamp near the Fort Worth Nature Center and Refuge; it was described as nearly decapitated, mutilated, and castrated. The brutality of the killing shocked the community and the case remained unsolved for several years.

A major development came on April 27, 1989, when Ricky Lee Green was arrested. Green confessed to multiple murders and admitted killing Jeffrey Lynn Davis; his confessions were corroborated by investigators. Green implicated no co-perpetrator to police, though his sister later said he had confessed to her and implicated his wife, Sharon Green. Green was convicted and sentenced to death and was executed by lethal injection on October 8, 1997.

Anyone with memories of Jeffrey, the area around the Fort Worth Nature Center in 1985, or information that wasn’t previously shared with investigators is asked to come forward.
