Cold Case Florida

By: Florida Sheriffs Association
  • Summary

  • Florida has a population of 22 million residents and welcomed more than 137 million visitors last year. And although the overall crime rate has dropped for an incredible 50 straight years, there are still more than 19,000 unsolved homicides in Florida dating back to 1965. The Cold Case Florida Podcast was created by the Florida Sheriffs Association to highlight some of those cases and offer the public an opportunity to help solve these crimes – bringing justice to the perpetrators and giving closure to the families. Join us as we work with local sheriffs’ offices to close cold cases in the sunshine state. Thank you to the participating sheriffs and their teams for assistance in the production of this podcast.

  • 2. The Murder of Bobby Ray Jones
    Oct 14 2024

    On September 30, 1971, Bobby Ray Jones went to work as a bartender at the Lone Branch in Darlington, Florida, located near the Alabama border in the northernmost part of Walton County.

    The bar closed early that night, but Bobby Ray answered a knock at the door and let someone in. Minutes later, that person would shoot and kill Bobby Ray, and over 50 years later, his family, friends and local law enforcement are still looking for answers.

    This case, like their other cold cases, still has the full attention of Walton County Sheriff Mike Adkinson and his team. They are hoping you just may know something to help solve this case and bring closure to the Jones family.

  • 1. The Murder of Phillip Davenport
    Apr 16 2024

    In the early morning hours of March 3, 2013, Phillip Davenport was shot and killed in his front yard, with his wife and three young children hiding in a closet inside the home. Mr. Davenport had returned from a routine trip to a Wal-Mart in Navarre, Florida, just a few minutes away. He had just gotten off the phone with his wife Tamara, and did not indicate that anything was wrong. But something was wrong – he just didn’t know it yet.

    Now almost 12 years old, Sheriff Bob Johnson and the Santa Rosa County Sheriff’s Office are still working to solve the murder of Phillip Davenport. They are hoping you just may know something to help solve this case and bring closure for the Davenport family.
