Coming soon: A Jailhouse interview with Polly Klaas' killer, Richard Allen Davis
In this snippet, Richard Allen Davis starts to talk about the kidnapping and murder of Polly Klaas. Coming to all podcast platforms February 2025.
The kidnapping of Polly Klaas occurred on October 1, 1993, in Petaluma, California. Polly, a 12-year-old girl, was abducted from her home during a sleepover at her house. The kidnapper, Richard Allen Davis, a convicted felon, broke into the home, tied up Polly's friends, and took her at knifepoint. After several days of extensive searching by law enforcement, volunteers, and the community, Polly's body was found on October 4, 1993, in a wooded area near her home.
Davis was arrested and later confessed to the crime. He had a history of violent offenses and was on parole at the time of the abduction. The case drew national attention and led to increased efforts for child safety, including the passage of "Polly's Law," which focused on increasing the penalties for crimes involving the kidnapping of minors. Davis was convicted of murder, kidnapping, and sexual assault, and was sentenced to death. He remains on death row in California. The tragedy profoundly impacted the nation and highlighted issues around child abduction and criminal justice reform.
