Kiplyn Davis (July 1, 1979 – May 2, 1995) was a 15-year-old American high school student who disappeared from her high school campus in Spanish Fork, Utah. She is one of the featured children on the Polly Klaas Foundation website. In 2011, a classmate was convicted of manslaughter in the murder of Davis and sentenced to 15 years in prison. However, the man refused to name his alleged accomplices or indicate where Davis's remains were supposedly concealed.
Timmy Brent Olsen, who was sentenced to a term of one to 15 years in the Utah State Prison on a conviction of manslaughter for his role in the disappearance and death of 15-year-old Kiplyn Davis in 1995, has been ordered to serve his full sentence by the Utah Board of Pardons and Parole. He has repeatedly declined to tell authorities where to find Kiplyn’s body. His sentence expires on Feb. 10, 2026.

UTAH STATE PRISON — One of the men convicted in connection with the disappearance and death of a Utah teen in 1995 has been ordered to serve out his entire sentence because of his refusal to help investigators find her remains.
The Utah Board of Pardons and Parole has voted to keep Timmy Brent Olsen, 43, in the Utah State Prison until his sentence expires on Feb. 10, 2026.
Olsen was convicted in 2011 of a reduced charge of manslaughter and sentenced to a term of one to 15 years in the Utah State Prison for his role in the death of 15-year-old Kiplyn Davis, whose remains have never been found.
Olsen and another person he has never identified drove up Spanish Fork Canyon with Davis on May 2, 1995. Olsen has stated in prior police interviews that he saw the other person hit the girl on the head with a large rock, knocking her unconscious. The two returned to the scene later that evening to dispose of her body.
In 2005, Olsen, David Rucker Leifson and three others — Scott Brunson, Garry Blackmore and Christopher Neal Jeppson — were indicted in federal court on charges of perjury before a grand jury and lying to a federal agent regarding comments about moving a girl’s body and creating false alibis.
Olsen was ordered to serve 12½ years in federal prison for perjury. In 2016, he was moved from the federal system to the Utah State Prison.
On March 9, Olsen had his first parole hearing. As he did during Olsen’s sentencing hearing in 2011, Richard Davis, Kiplyn’s father, told Olsen during his parole hearing that he would advocate for his release if he would just give them more information about the location of his daughter’s body.
“All I’m asking ... just tell me where Kiplyn is,” Davis pleaded during the hearing.
But Olsen said he did not have any information to give the family and even declined to recount the details of what happened that day in 1995.i
