The Shocking Murder of Dorothy Donovan
Send us Fan Mail In June of 1991, 70 year old Dorothy Donovan was brutally murdered inside her farmhouse in Harrington, Delaware. When her son Charles arrived home later that night, he told police a bizarre story about a violent hitchhiker who attempted to steal his vehicle, and also made off with Charles's screwdriver - the very same weapon used to murder his mother. For more than a decade, Dorothy's murder remained unsolved until 2005, when DNA testing led investigators straight to Dorothy's killer - and the results were a shock to the entire community.
