David Davenport left us on March 22, 2024. He was 76. After serving admirably in the U.S. Air Force, he became a Tennessee State Trooper. After seven years as a Trooper, David was appointed to the TBI where he became a legend in law enforcement circles. He was known nationally for his skills as a homicide investigator. It was said that he and his partner Bob Denny put more murderers on death row than any pair in Tennessee. In 1997 he was honored as Special Agent of the Year.He served three terms as Sheriff of Jefferson County. David ended a great career as Chief of the Cold Case Division of the Knox County Sheriff's Department. The last work we did together was when I went with him to interview a prison inmate in West Tennessee on one of the Cold Cases from Knox Co.This interview was first played in April of 2020 and was the most popular show we ever did on my radio show/podcast series, The Investigator. David Davenport was one of my best life long friends. He will be greatly missed.
