Jean Davis, 54, was found dead December 20, 2009, in the backyard of her home on Dennis Church Road in Gambier, Ohio. Responding officers arrived about 10:54 AM and determined she had died of a gunshot wound to the head; the Knox County Sheriff’s Office treated the death as a homicide.

Detectives reported Jean’s 2002 tan Chevy Avalanche Z71 truck was missing from the property. The vehicle was recovered the next day, December 21, in Newark, Ohio, in nearby Licking County, but investigators said there were few leads and the case remains unsolved. The Knox County Sheriff’s Office and the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation have asked anyone with information about the homicide or the truck to get in touch.

If anyone knew Jean, saw her vehicle around December 20–21, 2009, or has other information that could help, please contact investigators.
