Stephen Perry (writer)

According to news reports, Stephen Perry and his roommates, Roxanne and James Davis, disappeared from their home in Zephyrhills, Florida in May 2010, with the last sighting of him being on May 9.[1] The Davises were arrested on May 21 on "probation and drug charges". In the parking lot of a Tampa, Florida motel on May 16, police found a severed arm in a van registered to Perry following complaints of a foul smell.[6]

Over two weeks went by without public confirmation of his death, and on May 27, the Zephyrhills police confirmed that Steve Perry was the victim of a homicide.[1] The police also investigated whether there was a connection with a $10 million winning lottery ticket that was bought at a nearby store just before Perry disappeared.[7] Ultimately, no connection was found.

James Davis, who had previously served three jail sentences for kidnapping and robbery, was charged with first-degree murder in July 2010. Not all of Perry's remains had been found at that time.[8] Around that same time, Davis was convicted of the unrelated drug offense he had been arrested for in May. He was imprisoned for the next 12 years.

The murder trial against James Davis began in May, 2022.[9] The jury found Davis guilty, and he was sentenced to life in prison, without possibility of parole.[10]
