It was the summer 2020, Covid had taken over daily living at home, work and in the community. Diana Davis, a 50-year-old, mother, friend and caregiver was living a quiet life and spent July 27th doing the one thing she safely could enjoy--gardening. After she left her space in the Tacoma community garden her timeline of events becomes mysterious. By the next day, she was reported missing and shortly after her car was found abandoned and burning in downtown Tacoma. Seven days later Diana was found murdered outside of Seattle. What happened to Diana is still unsolved and no one has been named a suspect. Was she meeting up with someone whom she thought she could trust or did she encounter her killer unknowingly during her last day alive? Join Kim and Christine and as we discuss the life and death of this victim who deserves justice and her family, friends and community deserve answers. Diana's case was presented by Unexplained Oregon at the Pacific Northwest True Crime Convention in 2022.
