Donald Lee Wood, 78, of Ironton, Ohio, was killed at his home on September 8, 2023. A caller contacted police after speaking with Maynard, who disclosed the crime and urged the caller to notify authorities. Officers arrived to find Wood deceased and the woman bound in the home.

Surveillance showed Maynard leaving in Wood’s white Ford Ranger. A roughly 40-hour manhunt across multiple states followed; during that time Maynard was implicated in carjackings in Kentucky and later took hostages at a gas station in Ceredo, West Virginia. The standoff ended when officers shot and killed Maynard. Local authorities say investigations into Wood’s murder and the related incidents are ongoing.

If anyone knew Donald Wood, his movements that day, or has information about the events at the Ironton residence, please come forward to investigators.
