Trini murder suspect ‘vanishes’
It has been four years since Neverson went on a rage-fuelled killing spree, allegedly gunning down his sister and kidnapping and murdering his ex-girlfriend — before disappearing.
“He’s getting away with it,” said Daisy Davis, the mother of Donna Davis, Neverson’s former girlfriend.
“I’m angry. By now this guy should be caught. He’s an executioner; it was deliberate, and he did it to someone who trusted him,” Davis told the New York Daily News two days ago.
Neverson, 42, has been a wanted man since July 8, 2002, when, cops charge, he shot his older sister, Patricia, as they argued over money in her Crown Heights home.
The next day, Neverson picked up Davis, 34, at Audrey Cohen College in Queens, where she was studying Hospital Administration. Her body was discovered in an East New York lot two days later.
Neverson is one of America’s most wanted fugitives, and US $37,000 in reward money has been posted for his capture.
Even so, he’s evaded an NYPD and US marshals’ dragnet.
“He just vanished,” said Brooklyn Detective Sammy Ortiz. As tips continue to pour in — the case has been on “America’s Most Wanted” nine times — NYPD detectives have travelled across the country, following hundreds of promising leads.
With a tip that Neverson was in his native Trinidad, NYPD Detective Peter Margraf and US Marshals flew here for a second time last September. They returned empty-handed after being barred from entering the lawless Never Dirty area where Neverson was born.
Clyde Davis has been to Trinidad seven times since his daughter’s murder, pleading on television for information. He has spoken with the country’s top homicide detective and put up US$25,000 in reward money.
“He (Neverson) can’t do this on his own,” the angry father charged. “Someone is helping him financially.”
NYPD detectives believe that a close relative of Neverson and at least one of the three women Neverson has children with may be helping him. They suspect that he is in Trinidad and is being protected by one of the notorious gangs of the depressed Morvant area.
NY cops believe Neverson is capable of killing again. People who know his whereabouts may not be coming forward because they’re terrified of the hulking 240-pound, 6-foot-2 Neverson, who was deported in 2000 after serving five years for attempted murder but snuck back into the United States in 2002.
Davis has found little solace since her daughter’s death. What calm she does find is at Donna’s grave, tending a rose bush she planted, and in a stack of saved Mother’s Day cards from her only daughter.
One reads: “You’re the best thing in the world — you’re my girl.”
“I get very emotional when I look at the cards,” Davis said. “She was a happy person; she had nothing to worry about. He did not give her a chance to live.”
