Retired officers revisit 1992 murder as team reviews Statesville cold cases

“It’s been a lot of pain because this is something you don’t ever forget,” the victim's daughter said.

“Over a period of time, I just can’t sleep because it feels like she may have been calling me for help,” Mary Davidson said.

Since 1992, Davidson has had many sleepless nights wondering who killed her mother.

“The way they hurt her, and when they murdered her and stuff like that over her own pocketbook, which was stolen during that time, and they used her knife that she had for protection for herself,” she said.

“She always kept that knife wrapped up in a paper towel on the dresser and she kept a courtesan lamp burning all the time at night,” Davidson said.

''Riter said they’re tackling this case by starting from the very beginning -- learning Weaver’s day-to-day routines, chipping away at clues and witnesses.'

He said there were no signs of forced entry, so he believes whoever murdered her knew her.

“She was very cautious about who she let in,” Riter said. “And that leads us to believe that this was not a break-in. This was somebody that she knew.”
