On a bitterly cold morning in January 1963 Daisy Zick was stabbed 27 times at her home in Battle Creek. 50 years later her murder remains one of Michigan’s most baffling unsolved killings. This murder happened only a mile from where I grew up and was one of the first cases that I covered as a reporter in college for the Battle Creek Enquirer. Her killer was never caught, but her murder is still talked about today in her hometown and at the Kellogg plant where she worked.
Daisy lived in a small house on Jono Road and across the street from her was her neighbor Mrs. DeFrance. She was a very attractive and flirtatious woman and her neighbors were used to seeing her entertain men in the morning before going to work at the Kellogg plant. The day of her murder was no different, she entertained a man who came to her door in the mud room/porch area at around 10:00 am.
She told him that her husband was at work so she would give him a ride to the plant. The man was very familiar to her because he came to her door before and after her shifts at Kellogg. He also was a regular customer at her local bar/restaurant where she liked to play cards. The man was her postman named William Newman Daily. The police focused on him because he had a unique hair style that matched one eyewitness who saw the man walking on Michigan Avenue near Daisy’s abandoned car after her murder.
