Twenty five years ago today, Polly Klaas was abducted during a slumber party at her home in Petaluma. The Oct. 1, 1993, kidnapping stunned Sonoma County and brought national attention to the heartbroken community during a two-month search for the vivacious 12-year-old girl. Her killer, Richard Allen Davis, confessed to the murder on Dec. 4, 1993 and led investigators to her body in a shallow grave just south of Cloverdale. He is currently held on Death Row at San Quentin State Prison.
