Donovan Quay Nimmo was 29 when he vanished from Watonga, Oklahoma. He was last seen on January 19, 2005, in Blaine County; his light blue 1995 Buick Century was found abandoned on a dirt road southeast of Watonga the next day. His mother reported him missing on February 3, 2005, after two weeks of unsuccessful contact. He was described as a Caucasian male, 5 feet 9 inches tall, about 145 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes, and had a history of drug abuse and periods in prison.
Investigators later developed a homicide case. A friend, Jennifer Marie Durbin, admitted luring Nimmo to her trailer, where her boyfriend David Wayne Wood Jr. assaulted him repeatedly with a stun gun and by beating him while Durbin kept watch. Forensic evidence in the trailer, including Nimmo’s blood in the carpet that had been bleached and burned, matched Durbin’s account. According to their statements, Nimmo was bound, placed in his car trunk, moved between vehicles when cars ran out of gas, repeatedly assaulted, and ultimately thrown from a bridge into water.
Neither Nimmo’s remains nor a known burial location have been reported, and his family continues to seek closure. If anyone has information about Donovan’s final movements or the location of his remains, please come forward.
