HARRISON COUNTY, Iowa — A western Iowa cold case suspect accused of murder will not see his bond reduced. KCCI-TV reports last week, Robert Davis asked a Harrison County judge to lower his $3 million bond. His attorney says Davis has stage IV cancer and needs to get out of the Harrison County Jail to get treatment. On Monday (April 14th), a judge denied that request.

During an hour-long phone hearing on Monday, Davis’ attorney argued he is losing weight and his health is deteriorating. However, the Harrison County Jail administrator said Davis has access to all his medication at the jail and that he was caught on camera making himself vomit on multiple occasions.
