Joel Davis, 1962-2025: His journalism kept the spotlight on a Davis double-murder that took 32 years to solve

Thu, 05/01/2025 - 4:34pm | Bill Buchanan

Joel Davis at KDRT, January 2013.png

Few journalists have had as much impact in Davis as Joel Davis (pictured in 2013).

In 2005 he wrote his book Justice Waits about the then-unsolved kidnapping and murders of two UC Davis students, John Riggins and Sabrina Gonsalves, in December 1980. The killings stunned and terrified the community. His book helped sustain interest in solving the crime, ending in the conviction of Richard Hirschfield for first-degree murder in December 2012.

In January 2013, Joel appeared on Davisville to talk about the book, the effect the murders had on Davis and on him, and finishing his work even as he was diagnosed with early-onset Parkinson’s Disease.

Justice Waits was important, useful, and written with clarity and skill. Joel grew up in Davis. He cared about getting this right. “I knew this would be an unusual case,” he wrote in the preface. “I just didn’t realize how unusual.”

Davisville, April 28, 2025: Yolo Local has a question for you -- 'What do you need to know?'

Mon, 04/28/2025 - 5:30pm | Bill Buchanan

Yolo Local logo.png

Last year’s idea for a new “civic information hub” in Yolo County has grown into Yolo Local, a budding project to create a new source for local information and news. This spring the project is surveying people throughout the county to get insights on the types of information people want to access about local civic life and events, but don’t necessarily know where to find it, as the old ways of distributing information and news continue to fragment.

Today on Davisville we hear an update about the project from Autumn Labbe-Renault, the executive director of Davis Media Access and the project’s main organizer. What Yolo Local will look like, and how it will operate, is not yet decided. That will come after the survey results are released, probably in September. Meanwhile, Autumn offers two examples of existing civic information sites she likes—Lookout in Santa Cruz and The Oaklandside, in Oakland—during today's review of what's driving this project, who's involved, and how it all might come together.
