Christy Leann Davey, 24, was last seen March 2, 2016, in Phoenix’s north and central corridors. A young mother of four who had given birth about three months earlier, she was known to spend time around 19th Avenue and Bell Road and 15th Avenue and Camelback Road — areas investigators later highlighted as relevant to her final movements.

A week after she vanished, on the morning of March 9, 2016, employees at the City of Phoenix Transfer Station found her body on a conveyor belt inside the municipal recycling facility at 3060 South 27th Avenue. Investigators concluded her remains arrived through the waste stream; she had been shot in the head and was killed at an unknown location before being placed in a recycling container. Officials emphasized that placing her body in the recycling system complicated efforts to reconstruct where the homicide occurred and limited physical evidence.

No suspect has been publicly named; Silent Witness lists the suspect as unknown and a reward of up to $1,000 has been offered for information leading to an arrest or indictment. If anyone knew Christy, saw her in those Phoenix neighborhoods in early March 2016, or has information about how her body entered the recycling stream, please contact Silent Witness or Phoenix police.
