Bart Spayd was 26 and from Newark, Delaware, when he and a friend, Thomas Garvey, were found shot to death late on Thursday, July 11, 1985. Both young men suffered multiple gunshot wounds and were discovered lying in the gravel driveway outside Garvey’s home at 2195 Pleasant Valley Road, a quiet stretch off U.S. 40 near Glasgow.

Neighbors reported hearing a car racing away into the darkness but could offer no clear description, and no immediate witnesses to the shootings were identified. Early reports described little physical evidence publicly and no apparent motive, and the case was placed on the state police’s roster of unsolved homicides. No arrests or publicly identified suspects have been announced and the file remains open.

Did anyone in the area that night see a vehicle or person leaving Pleasant Valley Road?
