A screwdriver. A brutal attack. Who killed Dana Bowman?
‘I’m dying. Hurry! Help!’
On the morning of her death, Dana had been working alone at Bazer and Reese, a small shop at 2261 College Ave. that specialized in custom-made slipcovers, cushions and pillows.. Noah Bazer, the elderly man who owned the store, had left the shop about 9:45 a.m. to take his wife to a doctor’s appointment."
"At about 11:15 a.m., Dana made a call for help."
“I need some help. I’m dying. Hurry! Help! Help!” she struggled to tell a fire department dispatcher.
When emergency crews arrived, Dana was still conscious but bleeding profusely. She’d tell a firefighter that a “white man kept stabbing me over and over” before being rushed to John Peter Smith Hospital, where she died in surgery.
Bloody fingerprints were found on a chair inside the shop where Dana Bowman was killed.

"An autopsy noted eight distinctive incised and stab wounds to her face, neck and chest., one of which had punctured her left lung. Police identified the murder weapon as one of the shop’s screwdrivers, which was left at the scene.
Paul Kratz, the homicide detective assigned to the case, said from early on the case proved challenging. Police quickly determined that Dana’s purse, keys and green Oldsmobile that had been parked along the curb outside the shop were missing."
