Man confesses to 1998 murder of Bowling Green woman - Barren County authorities discussing steps to take against Indiana inmate
Daily News (Bowling Green, KY) - Saturday, May 2, 2009

Authorities in Barren County plan to discuss the next steps to take in the case of a convicted murderer who confessed this week to the 1998 killing of a Bowling Green woman.

David M. Bell, 35, admitted to the killing of 42-year-old Nancy Daddysman in a four-hour interview with investigators led by Barren County Sheriff Chris Eaton.

Bell, an inmate in the Indiana State Prison in Michigan City, Ind., is serving a 63-year sentence for murder in the 2005 killing of Claire Ellis of Anderson, Ind.

He’s also a suspect in an Arkansas case, officials said.

“If he did some of the things he claimed to do, he’d be one of the most prolific serial killers,” Eaton said. “Being a small county sheriff, you’d never think of dealing with a person of this magnitude. Some of the things he’s done and said, you’re not dealing with an average Joe.”

Eaton said his office was put in touch with Bell through letters that had been sent to the prison indicating that Bell had made statements about killing Daddysman, who lived at 1050 Shive Lane and worked at several nursing homes in Bowling Green and Glasgow.

Daddysman was last seen Sept. 4, 1998, at the parking lot outside Waffle House on Three Springs Road, trying to find a ride to Indiana to meet a friend.

She was reported missing a week later by relatives who had not heard from her.

Her body, partially wrapped in a piece of upholstery fabric just outside a cave off Iron Mountain Road near Park City, was discovered Sept. 21, 2000, by two boys. Dental records were necessary to identify Daddysman and the state medical examiner’s office determined she died from a stab wound.

The case was profiled in a 2001 episode of the TV show “ Unsolved Mysteries ,” but no new information resulted from the episode’s broadcast.

It doesn't ring a bell.

I remember. I think she was wearing red jeans the day she went missing and that's what made it stand out to me.

Did no one remember this case?

I believe this case was actually part of a segment that focused on the work of a forensic anthropologist from Kentucky named Emily Something-or-other (sorry, I can't remember her last name, but it might have begun with the letter A). I remember a part of the segment showing Dr. Emily teaching a group of college students how to look for human bones a in creek. I think that this case was mentioned sort of toward the end.
