The Darling of the Neighborhood: The Donna Sue Davis Cold Case Story
On Sunday, July 10, 1955 at approximately 9:35 p.m., someone snatched 22-month-old Donna Sue Davis from her Sioux City, Iowa crib shortly after her mother bathed her and put her to bed. The following afternoon, two Nebraska sisters-in-law — along with their combined seven young daughters — found Donna Sue’s raped and battered body in the first row of a 40-acre S. Sioux City cornfield about 15 feet west of the Old Back Road.
This true crime story chronicles the far-reaching aftereffects of Donna Sue’s death.
