Appearances
She had been strangled and beaten in the face and her nose was broken.
Investigators believed a large, heavy knife had been used.
Scratches on her body suggested she had been dragged, and there were indications that an attempted sexual assault may have been part of the attack.
Police believed Daisy's dog may have tried to defend her, and that whoever attacked her could have been bitten or scratched.
Investigators also considered the possibility that Daisy had been killed somewhere else, possibly inside a car, and then brought to the place where her body was found.
Police went door to door, searched the park and surrounding neighborhoods for the murder weapon, sent Daisy's clothing to the University of Rhode Island Crime Laboratory, and questioned hundreds of people.
By late November, reports in the evening bulletin said more than six hundred people had been interviewed, and the city eventually offered a reward for information.
Still, by Christmas Eve, police had not identified a suspect.
Then came Thomas Knott's arrest in January 1963.
The fact that he had admitted to two violent killings involving women and knives naturally drew attention from investigators in Newport.
Police questioned him about Daisy's murder, but Thomas denied any involvement and was never charged.
Investigators reportedly believed there was only a remote possibility that he was connected to the case.
Daisy's case wasn't the only investigation reignited after Thomas' arrest.
Other departments across Rhode Island and Massachusetts began taking another look at violent attacks and unsolved disappearances that shared at least some of the same characteristics.
One was the disappearance of Joan Rich from her home in Lincoln, Massachusetts in October 1961.
My friends Ashley and Brit at Crime Junkie have covered her case, so I'll link it in the show notes for you.
In Joan's case, investigators had recovered a bloody fingerprint from the scene.
According to Richard J.
Connolly's reporting for the Boston Herald, after Thomas was arrested, his fingerprints were compared against that print, as police explored whether there could be any connection.
Now Joan's case is still unsolved and it's unclear if the fingerprint comparison with Thomas Knott went anywhere.
