Christopher Muir Davis, a 22-year-old from St. Albans City, Vermont, was last seen by family on March 27, 2012; they reported him missing three days later. Days earlier, on March 21, he was violently beaten and robbed on Aldis Street near the city pool. Two men, later identified as Brian Ross and Travis Bugbee, lured him to the area, beat him and stole his phone, wallet, prescription medication and an EBT card; surveillance footage captured the assault and showed him wearing the clothing he was later found in.

On April 16, city workers preparing the municipal pool found a body floating in the half-filled pool that was identified as Davis. An autopsy was hampered by the time his body had been in the water and could not determine a definitive cause or manner of death. Ross and Bugbee were convicted for the March 21 assault and robbery; Ross received a sentence of eight to 15 years. No one has been charged in connection with Davis’s death and the Vermont State Police list the death as an open, unsolved homicide.

What information about Davis’s movements after the March 21 assault might help explain how he ended up in the pool?
