Gerald Bolt, the farmer who discovered Hennes’ body on his property, estimated he last checked his property on Wednesday, January 10.

According to investigators, Hennes had a troubled past that included drug problems and engaging in prostitution to help pay for the habit. She could often be seen walking along 4th, 3rd and 2nd streets between her residence at the Ledo Apartments, 411 W. 4th Street, and Myrtle Street. Often, her boyfriend could be seen walking with her or on the other side of the street.

Hennes' obituary stated she was born Nov. 4, 1965, in Omaha, Neb., attended Davenport Catholic and public schools and graduated from high school in 1985. She went on to attend Scott Community College.

Sheriff’s investigators, with help from Davenport and Rock Island police, have questioned many people on both sides of the Mississippi River but have not been able to zero in on one suspect.

A $5,000 reward has been offered for information leading to an arrest and conviction in the case.

Anyone with information should call the Scott County Sheriff’s Department at (563) 326-8628 or the Quad-Cities Crime Stoppers at (309) 762-9500.
