The Murder of Donovan Quay Nimmo: A Methamphetamine Deal That Turned Deadly

Benjamin Hayes

In the rural expanses of Oklahoma, where small communities are often defined by the relationships between neighbors and the trust that binds them together, the betrayal of friendship can have devastating consequences. The case of Donovan Quay Nimmo represents one of the most shocking examples of how drug addiction and criminal violence can transform familiar faces into deadly threats. What began as a seemingly routine meeting between friends on January 19, 2005, became a nightmare of torture, murder, and disposal that would haunt a family for decades and demonstrate the ruthless brutality that methamphetamine addiction can unleash.

A Life Marked by Struggle

Donovan Quay Nimmo was a twenty-nine-year-old man whose life had been shaped by the twin demons of addiction and incarceration. Standing five feet nine inches tall and weighing approximately 145 pounds, Donovan was a slender man whose appearance reflected the toll that years of drug abuse had taken on his body and spirit. He was a native of Enid, Oklahoma, a city in the north-central part of the state that had struggled with many of the social and economic challenges facing rural America in the early 2000s.

Donovan's adult life had been marked by a revolving door relationship with the criminal justice system. He had been in and out of prison throughout his adult years, primarily due to charges related to his drug addiction and the crimes he committed to support his habit. This pattern was unfortunately common among methamphetamine users in Oklahoma, where the drug had created an epidemic of addiction that destroyed families and communities throughout the state.

Despite his criminal history and ongoing struggles with substance abuse, Donovan maintained relationships with family members who continued to care about his welfare. His mother, Donna Skaggs, would later become a tireless advocate for finding answers about her son's fate, demonstrating that addiction does not diminish the love that family members feel for their troubled relatives. Her dedication to seeking justice for Donovan would highlight the human cost of drug-related violence and the enduring bonds between parents and children.

At the time of his disappearance, Donovan was living a precarious existence that revolved around his addiction to methamphetamine and his associations with others caught in similar cycles of drug use and criminal behavior. His lifestyle brought him into contact with dangerous individuals who saw violence as an acceptable tool for resolving disputes or eliminating perceived threats. This dangerous world would ultimately cost Donovan his life in the most brutal manner imaginable.

The Fatal Friendship

Among the people in Donovan's circle was Jennifer Marie Durbin, a twenty-seven-year-old woman who lived in a trailer in Watonga, Oklahoma, a small town in Blaine County. Durbin represented herself as Donovan's friend, a relationship that provided her with access to his trust and his willingness to respond to her requests for meetings. However, beneath the facade of friendship lay a more sinister reality that would become apparent only after Donovan's disappearance.

Durbin was involved in a romantic relationship with David Wayne Wood Jr., a twenty-nine-year-old man whose criminal background and violent tendencies would prove to be central to the tragedy that was about to unfold. Wood had never met Donovan personally, but he had developed a hostile attitude toward him that had manifested in threatening phone calls. These threats had been serious enough to make Donovan afraid of Wood, creating a situation where Donovan would never voluntarily place himself in a position where he would be alone with Wood.

The relationship between Durbin and Wood was characterized by criminal activity and drug use, particularly involving methamphetamine. Both individuals had lengthy criminal histories and were familiar with the violent world of drug trafficking and the disputes that often arose within that community. Their shared addiction and criminal lifestyle created a partnership that was both mutually dependent and increasingly dangerous as their drug use escalated and their financial pressures mounted.

The dynamics between these three individuals, Donovan's trust in Durbin, his fear of Wood, and Durbin's willingness to deceive her supposed friend for the benefit of her violent boyfriend, created the perfect conditions for the tragedy that was about to occur. The methamphetamine that connected them as users would ultimately become the catalyst for a crime of shocking brutality and callous indifference to human suffering.

The Trap Is Set

On January 19, 2005, Jennifer Durbin contacted Donovan Nimmo with what appeared to be a routine request related to their shared involvement in drug use. According to later confessions, Durbin told Donovan that she had methamphetamine available and needed to return his cell phone to him. Both of these pretexts were designed to give Donovan compelling reasons to visit Durbin's trailer without arousing his suspicions about Wood's presence or intentions.

The choice of these specific lures demonstrated Durbin's intimate knowledge of Donovan's priorities and vulnerabilities. The promise of methamphetamine would appeal to his addiction, while the need to retrieve his cell phone provided a practical reason for the visit that would not seem suspicious. The combination of these factors was calculated to overcome any reluctance Donovan might have had about visiting Durbin, particularly if he had any awareness of her relationship with Wood.

Durbin's willingness to use their friendship as a weapon against Donovan revealed the depths of her moral corruption and her complete subordination of any ethical considerations to her loyalty to Wood. She understood that Donovan trusted her enough to come to her trailer based on her word alone, and she was prepared to exploit that trust in service of a plan that she knew would result in serious harm to her supposed friend.

The premeditation evident in the careful construction of this trap demonstrated that what was about to occur was not a spontaneous act of violence or a situation that spiraled out of control. Instead, it was a calculated plan to lure Donovan into a situation where he would be completely vulnerable to whatever Wood intended to do to him. The betrayal was complete and deliberate, making it all the more shocking when the full details of the crime eventually came to light.

The Nightmare Begins

When Donovan arrived at Durbin's trailer in Watonga, he likely expected a routine drug transaction and the simple matter of retrieving his phone. Instead, he found himself face to face with David Wood, the man who had been threatening him and whom he had specifically avoided meeting. The realization that he had been deceived and trapped must have been terrifying, but by then it was too late for Donovan to escape the situation.

Wood immediately took control of the situation using violence and intimidation. He began his assault on Donovan by using a stun gun to shock him multiple times, a particularly cruel method of torture that would have caused excruciating pain while temporarily incapacitating the victim. The use of the stun gun demonstrated both premeditation and a desire to inflict maximum suffering on Donovan while maintaining control over him.

The physical beating that followed was conducted inside the trailer while Durbin served as a lookout, ensuring that Wood could continue his assault without interruption from potential witnesses or law enforcement. The fact that Durbin actively participated in the crime by serving as a lookout demonstrated her full complicity in the violence being perpetrated against Donovan. She was not merely present during the assault; she was an active participant who enabled the continuation of the torture.

The violence that occurred in that trailer was so severe that it left significant amounts of Donovan's blood in the carpet and carpet pad, as well as on towels that had been used during the assault. The quantity of blood found at the scene suggested that Donovan had sustained serious injuries during the beating, injuries that would have required immediate medical attention to prevent death. However, rather than seeking help for their victim, Wood and Durbin were focused on continuing their assault and planning the disposal of the evidence.

The Horror Continues

As the beating continued, it became clear that Wood and Durbin had no intention of allowing Donovan to survive the encounter. The level of violence being employed was far beyond what would be necessary to intimidate or punish someone, suggesting that murder had been the intention from the beginning. The systematic nature of the torture and the preparations that had been made for disposing of evidence indicated a level of premeditation that made the crime particularly heinous.

After the initial assault in the trailer, Wood and Durbin bound Donovan with an extension cord, demonstrating their intent to transport him while ensuring he could not escape or resist. The use of the electrical cord as a restraint was particularly cruel, as it would have cut into Donovan's skin and caused additional pain with any movement. The choice of restraint also suggested that the perpetrators had planned ahead and had the necessary materials readily available for their crime.

The decision to put Donovan in the trunk of his own car added another layer of cruelty to the crime. Not only was he being transported against his will, but his own vehicle was being used as the means of his transportation to whatever fate awaited him. This appropriation of Donovan's property for use in his own murder represented an additional violation and demonstrated the complete disregard that Wood and Durbin had for their victim's humanity and dignity.

Wood drove Donovan's car while Durbin followed in her own vehicle, creating a convoy of death that traveled through northwestern Oklahoma looking for an appropriate location to dispose of their victim. The fact that they had to travel for an extended period looking for a suitable location suggested that they were being careful about choosing a spot where Donovan's body would not be easily discovered. This calculation demonstrated their awareness of the severity of their crime and their determination to avoid detection.

A Journey of Terror

During the transportation phase of the crime, Donovan was forced to endure additional torture as Wood and Durbin dealt with the practical challenges of moving a living victim without attracting attention. According to later confessions, they had to stop the car multiple times to beat Donovan in order to keep him quiet when he tried to cry out for help or make noise that might attract the attention of other motorists or law enforcement.

The fact that Donovan was still conscious and attempting to seek help during this phase of the crime demonstrated both his will to survive and the prolonged nature of his suffering. Rather than allowing their victim to die quickly from his injuries, Wood and Durbin were prolonging his agony while transporting him to his final destination. The additional beatings administered during transport showed a level of sadistic cruelty that went beyond simple murder into the realm of torture and terrorism.

When Donovan's car ran out of gas during their journey, Wood and Durbin were forced to transfer their victim to Durbin's vehicle to continue their search for a disposal site. This transfer represented another opportunity for Donovan to attempt escape or cry out for help, but his injuries and restraints made any effective resistance impossible. The perpetrators were able to maintain control over their victim throughout the transportation process, demonstrating their experience with violence and their complete domination of the situation.

The extended nature of this journey meant that Donovan was aware of what was happening to him and what his ultimate fate would be. Unlike victims who die quickly in moments of sudden violence, Donovan was forced to endure hours of terror and pain while being transported to his death. This psychological torture was arguably as cruel as the physical violence that had been inflicted on him, creating a sustained nightmare that continued until the very end of his life.

The Final Act

The journey finally ended when Wood and Durbin reached a bridge over a body of water in northwestern Oklahoma. The selection of this location was strategic, as dumping Donovan's body into water would make recovery difficult and would accelerate the decomposition process that might eliminate forensic evidence. The choice also demonstrated the perpetrators' familiarity with the area and their calculation about which locations would be least likely to yield discovered remains.

At the bridge, David Wood committed the final act of murder by throwing Donovan's body into the water below. Whether Donovan was still alive at this point or had already died from his injuries during the torture and transportation is unclear from the available evidence. However, the manner of disposal ensured that even if Donovan had somehow survived the hours of torture and beating, he would not survive the impact with the water or the subsequent drowning.

The cold-blooded nature of this final act demonstrated the complete dehumanization of Donovan in the minds of his killers. To them, he had become nothing more than a problem to be disposed of, a piece of evidence to be eliminated rather than a human being who had once been considered a friend. The ease with which Wood threw Donovan's body from the bridge suggested a level of detachment and callousness that spoke to his fundamental lack of empathy or remorse.

After disposing of Donovan's body, Wood and Durbin returned to the practical matter of eliminating evidence of their crime. They abandoned Donovan's car on a dirt road southeast of Watonga, where it would be discovered the following day by a Blaine County Sheriff's deputy. The abandonment of the vehicle represented the final step in their attempt to cover up their crime and create distance between themselves and the evidence of their actions.

The Cover-Up Attempts

Following the murder and disposal of Donovan's body, Wood and Durbin returned to Durbin's trailer to begin the process of destroying evidence that could link them to the crime. The amount of blood that had been spilled during the torture session required extensive cleanup efforts, and the perpetrators understood that forensic evidence could lead to their eventual capture and prosecution.

Durbin and Wood attempted to bleach the carpet where Donovan's blood had soaked in, hoping to eliminate the DNA evidence that could prove he had been in the trailer. They also burned portions of the carpet and other materials that had been contaminated with blood during the assault. Despite these efforts, their cleanup was incomplete, and forensic investigators would later be able to recover DNA evidence that conclusively proved Donovan had been tortured and killed in the trailer.

The objects that had been used to beat Donovan were also burned in an attempt to destroy evidence, but again the perpetrators' efforts were incomplete. During the subsequent search of Durbin's property, investigators found burned materials that had been used in the assault, providing additional physical evidence of the crime. The recovery of these materials demonstrated that even sophisticated attempts to destroy evidence often leave traces that can be detected by forensic investigators.

The extensive efforts made to destroy evidence demonstrated that Wood and Durbin understood the seriousness of their crime and were attempting to avoid prosecution. However, their incomplete and amateur attempts at evidence destruction would ultimately contribute to their downfall when investigators were able to piece together the forensic evidence that proved Donovan had been murdered in the trailer.

The Investigation Unfolds

Donovan's disappearance was first noted when his abandoned car was discovered on January 20, 2005, just one day after he was last seen alive. The location of the vehicle on a dirt road southeast of Watonga immediately raised suspicions, as there was no apparent reason for Donovan to have been in that area or to have abandoned his car voluntarily. The discovery prompted an immediate investigation by the Blaine County Sheriff's Office and the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation.

Donovan's mother, Donna Skaggs, reported him missing on February 3, 2005, after she had been unable to contact him for two weeks. The delay in reporting him missing reflected both the chaotic nature of Donovan's lifestyle and the unfortunate reality that brief disappearances were not uncommon for someone struggling with addiction. However, the length of his absence and the discovery of his abandoned car convinced his family that something serious had happened to him.

The investigation initially focused on Donovan's known associates and the circumstances of his drug use, as investigators understood that his lifestyle placed him at risk for violence from other users or dealers. The discovery of his abandoned car provided the first solid lead in the case, and investigators began the process of examining the vehicle for forensic evidence and attempting to trace Donovan's movements on the day of his disappearance.

The early stages of the investigation were complicated by the criminal lifestyles of potential witnesses and the general reluctance of drug users to cooperate with law enforcement. Many of the people who might have had information about Donovan's disappearance were themselves involved in illegal activities and were hesitant to draw police attention to their own actions. This silence initially slowed the investigation and made it difficult for investigators to piece together the events leading up to Donovan's disappearance.

The Break in the Case

The breakthrough in the investigation came in March 2005, when Jennifer Durbin was arrested on a weapons violation charge. During the arrest and subsequent questioning, Durbin made the decision to confess to her role in Donovan's murder, providing investigators with their first detailed account of what had happened to him. Her decision to confess may have been motivated by guilt, fear of her boyfriend, or a calculation that cooperation with authorities might result in more lenient treatment.

Durbin's confession was comprehensive and detailed, providing investigators with information about the planning of the crime, the methods used to lure Donovan to the trailer, the torture and murder that followed, and the attempts to dispose of evidence. Her account painted a picture of premeditated murder carried out with shocking brutality and callous indifference to human suffering.

The confession also implicated David Wood as the primary perpetrator of the violence against Donovan, though Durbin acknowledged her own role in luring the victim and serving as a lookout during the assault. Her willingness to implicate her boyfriend demonstrated either a desire to minimize her own culpability or a recognition that Wood's violence posed a threat to her own safety.

Armed with Durbin's confession, investigators were able to obtain search warrants for her trailer and the surrounding property, leading to the discovery of extensive forensic evidence that corroborated her account of the crime. The blood evidence, burned materials, and other physical evidence provided strong support for the prosecution's case and eliminated any possibility that Durbin had fabricated her confession.

The Forensic Evidence

The search of Durbin's trailer yielded a wealth of forensic evidence that conclusively proved Donovan had been tortured and killed on the premises. DNA analysis of bloodstains found in the carpet and carpet pad confirmed that the blood belonged to Donovan, establishing that he had sustained serious injuries in the trailer. The quantity of blood suggested life-threatening wounds that would have been fatal without immediate medical intervention.

Additional bloodstains were found on towels that had apparently been used during the cleanup efforts, providing further evidence of the violence that had occurred in the trailer. The presence of blood on these materials also demonstrated that Wood and Durbin had made efforts to clean up after the assault, supporting the premeditation aspects of the case and showing consciousness of guilt.

The attempts to destroy evidence through bleaching and burning had been only partially successful, allowing forensic investigators to recover crucial DNA evidence and physical materials that had been used in the assault. The burned objects found on the property were identified as weapons that had been used to beat Donovan, providing additional evidence of the brutality of the attack and the perpetrators' subsequent attempts to cover up their crime.

The forensic evidence was so compelling that it eliminated any possibility of claiming that Donovan's disappearance was voluntary or that he had died from accidental causes. The blood evidence, combined with Durbin's confession and the other physical evidence recovered from the scene, created an overwhelming case for premeditated murder that would ultimately lead to conviction for both perpetrators.

Additional Testimony

In July 2008, investigators received additional confirmation of Wood and Durbin's guilt when a friend of Wood's came forward with information about the crime. According to this witness, Wood had boasted about killing Donovan, providing details about how he and Durbin had beaten their victim to death, wrapped his body in carpet, and disposed of it. This testimony provided independent corroboration of the confessions and forensic evidence.

The witness's account was particularly valuable because it came from someone within Wood's circle of associates, demonstrating that Wood had not maintained silence about his crime but had instead bragged about it to others. This pattern of behavior suggested a lack of remorse and a disturbing pride in the violence he had committed. The willingness to boast about murder also indicated a level of sociopathic behavior that would be relevant to sentencing considerations.

The additional testimony also provided investigators with more details about the disposal of Donovan's body, including the use of carpet to wrap the corpse before throwing it into the water. These details helped to complete the picture of the crime and provided additional evidence that could be used to corroborate other aspects of the confessions and forensic evidence.

The fact that multiple sources were providing consistent accounts of the crime eliminated any possibility that the confessions were false or that the forensic evidence had been misinterpreted. The convergence of physical evidence, confessions, and witness testimony created an overwhelming case that would be difficult for the defense to challenge.

The Legal Proceedings

David Wood was arrested in August 2008 in Mesa, Colorado, on a first-degree murder warrant for his role in Donovan's death. His capture represented the culmination of a multi-year investigation and provided closure for investigators who had worked tirelessly to bring him to justice. The arrest in Colorado demonstrated the interstate nature of the investigation and the cooperation between law enforcement agencies in different states.

Both Wood and Durbin were charged with first-degree murder, kidnapping, and related charges that reflected the full scope of their criminal conduct. The charges carried the possibility of the death penalty, life imprisonment, or life imprisonment without the possibility of parole, depending on the outcome of the legal proceedings and the sentencing decisions made by the court.

In April 2010, Jennifer Durbin pleaded guilty to the charges against her, accepting responsibility for her role in the crime and avoiding the uncertainty of a trial. Her guilty plea was likely influenced by the overwhelming evidence against her and the possibility of receiving a more lenient sentence in exchange for her cooperation with the prosecution.

David Wood pleaded guilty in July 2010, following Durbin's lead in accepting responsibility for the crime rather than attempting to fight the charges at trial. His decision to plead guilty was probably motivated by the same factors that influenced Durbin's plea: the overwhelming evidence against him and the potential for receiving a life sentence rather than the death penalty.

Justice and Sentencing

Both Jennifer Durbin and David Wood were sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole, ensuring that they would never again have the opportunity to harm innocent people. The sentences reflected the premeditated nature of their crime, the extreme brutality of their actions, and the complete absence of any mitigating factors that might have justified more lenient treatment.

The life sentences without parole effectively meant that both perpetrators would die in prison, providing a measure of justice for Donovan's family and ensuring that society would be protected from their future violence. While the sentences could not bring Donovan back or undo the suffering he had endured, they provided accountability for the crime and closure for those who had loved him.

The successful prosecution of the case demonstrated the effectiveness of modern forensic techniques and the importance of witness cooperation in solving complex crimes. The combination of DNA evidence, confessions, and corroborating testimony had created an irrefutable case that resulted in appropriate sentences for both perpetrators.

However, the one aspect of justice that remained elusive was the recovery of Donovan's body, which would have provided his family with the opportunity to properly bury him and achieve a measure of closure. Despite the confessions and the extensive searches conducted by law enforcement, Donovan's remains have never been found, leaving his family with the ongoing pain of not knowing exactly where he lies.

A Mother's Unending Search

For Donna Skaggs, Donovan's mother, the conviction of his killers provided justice but not peace. The absence of his body meant that she could not properly lay her son to rest or visit a grave where she could honor his memory. The uncertainty about the exact location of his remains became a source of ongoing anguish that the legal proceedings could not address.

Skaggs increased the reward for information leading to the recovery of Donovan's body to $5,000, hoping that the financial incentive might motivate someone with knowledge of the disposal site to come forward. She understood that someone, somewhere, might have additional information about where Wood and Durbin had thrown her son's body, and she was determined to exhaust every possible avenue for finding him.

The emotional toll of not knowing where Donovan's body rested was evident in Skaggs's public statements about the case. She described sleepless nights and restless days consumed by thoughts of her son and frustration with the incomplete nature of the justice that had been achieved. Her pain was compounded by the knowledge that somewhere in northwestern Oklahoma, her son's remains lay unrecovered and unburied.

Skaggs's visit to Durbin's former trailer was particularly traumatic, as she confronted the physical space where her son had suffered and died. The sight of the blood evidence and the knowledge of what had happened in that room reinforced the reality of her son's suffering and the brutality of his death. Her placement of a cross on the fence represented both a memorial to her son and a marker of the last place he had been alive.

The Broader Impact

The murder of Donovan Quay Nimmo highlighted the devastating impact that methamphetamine addiction was having on communities throughout Oklahoma and the broader Midwest. The drug had created a culture of violence and desperation that put users at risk not only from the effects of the substance itself but from the dangerous criminals involved in its distribution and use.

The case demonstrated how drug addiction could transform ordinary people into perpetrators and victims of extreme violence. Donovan's addiction had led him into a world where violence was common and where the people he considered friends might actually be planning his death. His tragic fate served as a warning about the risks faced by anyone caught in the cycle of methamphetamine addiction.

The premeditated nature of Donovan's murder also illustrated the calculating cruelty that methamphetamine use could foster in some individuals. Wood and Durbin's careful planning of the crime and their systematic torture of their victim demonstrated a level of depravity that went beyond the typical crimes associated with drug use. Their actions represented a form of evil that was both shocking and difficult to comprehend.

The case also highlighted the challenges faced by law enforcement agencies in investigating crimes within the methamphetamine community, where witnesses are often reluctant to cooperate and where the lifestyle of potential victims makes it difficult to establish timelines and identify suspects. The successful resolution of Donovan's case required extensive resources and the fortunate circumstance of Durbin's confession to break open the investigation.

The Search Continues

Despite the passage of nearly two decades since Donovan's murder, the search for his remains continues. Law enforcement agencies in Oklahoma maintain active files on the case and continue to investigate any tips or information that might lead to the recovery of his body. The investigation remains technically open pending the location of Donovan's remains and the complete resolution of all aspects of the case.

Advances in search technology and underwater recovery techniques provide ongoing hope that Donovan's body might eventually be found and returned to his family for proper burial. Ground-penetrating radar, sonar equipment, and other specialized tools offer possibilities that were not available during the initial investigation, potentially allowing searchers to locate remains that have been hidden for decades.

The Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation and other agencies continue to encourage anyone with information about the location of Donovan's body to come forward, regardless of how much time has passed. They understand that circumstances change and that someone who may have been reluctant to speak with authorities in 2005 might now be willing to share what they know about the case.

The ongoing search efforts represent both a commitment to Donovan's family and a recognition that complete justice requires not only the conviction of the perpetrators but also the recovery of the victim's remains. Until Donovan's body is found and properly buried, his case will remain incomplete, and his family will continue to search for the closure that only his recovery can provide.

A Legacy of Loss

The murder of Donovan Quay Nimmo serves as a stark reminder of the human cost of drug addiction and the violence that often accompanies it. While Donovan's struggles with methamphetamine led him into dangerous situations and criminal behavior, he did not deserve the brutal torture and murder that ended his life. His death represents a loss not only to his family but to the potential for recovery and redemption that exists for every person struggling with addiction.

The case also demonstrates the importance of treating addiction as a public health issue rather than simply a criminal justice problem. Donovan's repeated incarcerations had not addressed the underlying issues that drove his drug use, leaving him vulnerable to the violence that ultimately claimed his life. More effective treatment and support systems might have provided him with alternatives to the dangerous lifestyle that led to his death.

For the community of Enid and the broader state of Oklahoma, Donovan's case represents a cautionary tale about the need for comprehensive approaches to addressing methamphetamine addiction and the violence associated with it. The drug had created a cycle of crime and violence that destroyed lives and families throughout the region, requiring coordinated responses from law enforcement, health care providers, and social services agencies.

The brutal nature of Donovan's murder also serves as a reminder of the capacity for evil that exists within some individuals and the importance of protecting vulnerable members of society from those who would exploit and harm them. Wood and Durbin's actions represented a level of depravity that shocked even experienced law enforcement officers and prosecutors, demonstrating the need for appropriate sentences for those who commit such heinous crimes.

Hope for Resolution

As the search for Donovan Quay Nimmo continues into its third decade, his family and law enforcement agencies maintain hope that his remains will eventually be found and that complete closure can be achieved. The conviction of his killers provided justice and accountability, but the absence of his body leaves an important aspect of the case unresolved.

The passage of time may actually work in favor of the search efforts, as changing circumstances, advancing technology, and evolving relationships might create new opportunities for information to emerge about the location of Donovan's remains. Someone who was afraid to speak in 2005 might now be willing to provide crucial information, or new search techniques might reveal evidence that was previously undetectable.

Until that day comes, Donovan's case will stand as a testament to both the brutality that some humans are capable of inflicting on others and the enduring love of a mother who refuses to give up hope of bringing her son home. The search for Donovan Quay Nimmo continues, driven by the belief that every victim deserves to be found and that every family deserves the opportunity to properly mourn their lost loved one.
