Info

Ramona jean cox, 24, was found dead in her first-floor apartment at 1526 woodland ave. In des moines on sunday morning, april 22, 1962.A stout woman about 5-foot-8 and weighing around 130 pounds, cox fought back against her assailant before being beaten and slashed across the throat with a hook-billed linoleum knife.The moravia, iowa native had moved to des moines in 1956 — the same year she graduated high school — and worked as a secretary for c.D. Wilcox company and as a part-time cashier for ardan, located then at 12th and locust street.Mrs. Cox said crime stories always bring back memories and re-open scars, but one must still carry on and hope police catch the person responsible. In the 1974 interview — 12 years after her daughter’s unsolved murder — mrs. Cox said she’d almost given up hope, but that prayer had helped a lot.
