Authorities are drawing renewed attention to the unsolved 1986 killing of a Kiamensi Gardens man whose body was found in a New Castle County waterway exactly 40 years ago.
Brian J. Donovan, 27, who lived on Liston Avenue in Kiamensi Gardens, was found dead in Red Clay Creek near the railroad bridge in Marshallton on June 15, 1986. A 14-year-old boy made the grim discovery that day, leading investigators to the scene.
The case has never been solved and is now classified as a cold case homicide. Investigators are asking anyone with information about the circumstances surrounding Donovan’s death to come forward.
