Authorities said that during an interview with the 29-year-old, he admitted to committing all three burglaries. He also included specific details of each burglary to corroborate that he was present and provided items he admitted to taking during the burglaries.
Court records also stated Davidson confessed to following the victims to learn their patterns and their vehicles and targeted them specifically for their clothing items. He said to authorities that he wrote four letters, one for each burglary victim and one for the apartment complex management.
