Downwind accomplice sentenced to 10 years

BEMIDJI-- A St. Paul man who admitted to aiding an offender in connection with the murder of Rose Downwind was sentenced to 10 years and three months in prison Monday.

Christopher John Davis, 28, will be eligible for supervised release after serving six years and 10 months of his sentence and would spend the remaining time on parole.

Davis admitted in July to helping Downwind's former boyfriend, Marchello Cimmarusti, transport her body to a location west of Bemidji, dig a hole, burn and bury the body, and later text Downwind's mother from her phone to make it appear Downwind was still alive.
