Monique Franchone Davis was 18 when she was found dead behind a Richmond business in Contra Costa County, California on December 9, 1985. Her death was ruled a homicide; the medical examiner listed blunt force trauma to the head as the cause of death. A worker discovered her body at the scene.

Investigators later linked her killing to a series of East Bay slayings that occurred over a three-month period in 1985. Authorities identified Anthony McKnight, a former Navy sailor, as the perpetrator tied to Davis and four other women and teenage girls. DNA recovered from victims and clothing, tested years after the crimes, connected McKnight to the murders. He was convicted of five counts of first-degree murder, including Monique Davis, and found guilty of multiple special circumstances; the jury recommended the death penalty and he was formally sentenced in November 2008.

Does anyone have memories of Monique or information about the Richmond area in December 1985 that could add context to her final hours?
