Just days after his 16th birthday in 2004, Joshua Matthew Davis was found fatally injured on the side of a road in Garner, North Carolina. Initially treated as a hit-and-run, the case quickly turned suspicious: no debris, no signs of struggle, and a head wound that suggested something more violent. Rumors swirled of past altercations and relationship drama, but despite early leads and even a false confession, the case went cold. Over two decades later, Josh’s family is still waiting for answers—and justice.
