Paula Eileen Davis (née: Beverly) (December 13, 1965 - August 9, 1987) was a young woman who was found murdered at an eastbound off-ramp of Interstate 70 in Englewood, Ohio, on August 10, 1987.
Davis was identified in 2010 after her sister found a case on NamUs with tattoos that matched her. Davis was initially believed to be a victim of an unidentified serial killer named "Dr. No" but is now thought to be a victim of Lorenzo Gilyard. However, he was never charged with her murder. Davis was known as "Blue Bandana Girl" while she remained unidentified.
