Shanteria Davis, 32, of Phoenix, Arizona, was identified as one of five women killed in central Phoenix’s Garfield neighborhood during a string of deaths that alarmed police and the community. Her naked, decomposed body was found in an alley on October 10, 2002, only yards from where another victim, Barbara Codman, had been recovered about a month earlier. Investigators noted drag marks and skin slippage on Davis’s back, buttocks and the backs of her legs, indicating the body had been moved and left exposed in the heat.

The medical examiner determined the findings were consistent with asphyxia by ligature strangulation rather than an overdose. Detectives increased canvassing in the area and warned vulnerable women in the neighborhood after Davis’s body was found. Over the following months four more women were recovered nearby, and attention focused on a camper behind a residence where Cory Deonn Morris lived. Morris was arrested in April 2003 and later indicted on five counts of first-degree murder, including Davis’s death; prosecutors alleged he lured women to the camper, strangled them and dumped the bodies nearby.

No other suspects have been publicly identified in Davis’s killing. Did anyone who knew Shanteria or spent time in the Garfield neighborhood in 2002 see anything that could help fill gaps in the timeline?
