Summary

Catherine Davis came to Texas in 1979 from Oxford, Mississippi. Chasing a career in modeling and fashion, she first landed in Dallas but followed a boy to Fort Worth in 1982. In late September 1984, the twenty-three-year-old left her apartment with someone and forty-five minutes later, it was engulfed in flames. Catherine wasn’t inside. But she’d never be seen alive again, nonetheless. By December, her disappearance became part of a multi-case investigation by the FWPD that, at first, involved two other missing women. When Catherine’s remains were finally recovered, it was an obvious homicide. The investigation would continue to add victims and is known today colloquially as “the ‘80s Murders.”

If you have any information about the murder of Catherine Lee Davis, please call the Fort Worth Police Cold Case Unit at (817) 392-4307.
