On March 26, 1973, in Racine, Wisconsin around 7:30 p.m. 15-year-old Tina Davidson was hanging out with a friend at her house. He left on his bike and a little later Tina came out with a canvas bag full of clothes she had to return. She was going to bring them over to a friend's house. When Tina didn't return home that night her mother thought that she stayed the night at her friend's house like she'd done dozens of times before.
Tina arrived at the friend's house but did not stay long as she left around 8:30. She had told her friend she was going to another friend's house and intended to hitchhike west on Washington Ave. Tina had hitchhiked as a way to get around. She never made it to the other friend's house.
She had been stabbed 61 times in the chest and neck area. It was found that she was first struck in the head and went unconscious. She was killed from massive hemorrhaging when she was stabbed in the heart. Her body had been dragged to the area she was found. She was wearing a dark sweater over a white shirt, brown baggy pants, and construction boots. None of her clothes were found.
She never got celebrate her 16th birthday that was only a few days away.
