A man claiming to be Davis' husband told WINK News that his wife had been killed and his son confessed.

After several interviews, a 15 year-old was taken into custody and charged with homicide. Deputies have confirmed the teen is the son of the missing woman.

Friends later clarified to WINK News that the teen was not Davis' husband's biological son, and that the couple had been living together for several years.

Members of the family's church are taking care of her husband. They told WINK News they'd removed Davis' son from the home several days ago, after she'd gone missing.

Casiano told a deputy taking the report that he and Davis had gone to a friend's house on Aug. 21 and she was drinking. He said he asked her if they could leave but she wanted one more beer and then he gave her his last $10 to go buy more alcohol.

He told the deputy that when he returned to get Davis she was highly intoxicated.

In the report, Casiano said that he walked Davis home and she asked to take a shower while he walked their three dogs around 11 p.m. He said that each of the dogs took about 20 minutes to walk and when he returned, he heard the shower still running but Davis was nowhere to be found.

Davis' boyfriend, Marcos Casiano, said in November that the idea of Landrum being on the streets in such a short time was baffling.

"It's wrong. I can tell you this is wrong," he said. "You imagine what he can do to his mother. What (can he) do to everybody else?"
