man faces murder charge

SHENANDOAH (AP) — A southwest Iowa man has been charged with first-degree murder in the 2009 death of his girlfriend.

The state Department of Public Safety says 34-year-old Brian Davis, of Shenandoah, was arrested Wednesday. He is being held at the Fremont County Jail on $1 million cash bond. Court records do not list an attorney.

Officials say witness interviews and crime scene evidence led to Davis’ arrest in connection to the July 2009 death of Holly Durben. She was found dead in a residence she shared with Davis. An autopsy determined she was shot in the head.
