Grand Forks County prosecuted the case after Cass County determined it had a conflict of interest.
Over the past week, the state presented evidence, a timeline of the crime and motive. Anderson s destroyed phone and the broken skillet were put in the sink near a stove fire, but the skillet wasn t found until Aug. 4, 2019, after police released the unit back to the building s owner.
That s one of the issues defense attorney Jared Gietzen raised. Police did not analyze the rug on which Anderson was found, begging the question of what evidence officers missed, Gietzen noted.
He also asked how a hair could be left on a skillet that was exposed to heat when DNA from what appeared to be blood on the skillet was destroyed by the same heat. Anderson s blood was found on Davis shoe, but Gietzen even questioned that.

The door to Davis’ attic-level apartment locked with a deadbolt, and firefighters had to pry it open to gain access, detectives said in court. Photos shown Monday in court showed Anderson was found lying in the living room with only a bra on. Her clothes and other items, including her purse, were scattered across the apartment. Investigators found Anderson’s damaged phone on the stove, Fargo Police Detective Mark Voigtschild said.
A receipt for a broken car window dated July 2019 also was found under Anderson’s body.
Anderson told police her vehicle was vandalized in July 2019, and she suspected Davis was the culprit. She claimed Davis stalked her after she reported he physically and sexually assaulted her in June 2019.
