Police believe Michael Wayne Wood, 29, of Newalla was involved in the disappearance of Donovan Quay Nimmo, 29 of Enid, who police think is dead, based on interviews with Wood's girlfriend. Nimmo was tied with an electric cord and dumped from a bridge in Canadian County, she told investigators. Police believe Nimmo is dead, but don't know when or how he died.

Jennifer Marie Durbin, 27 of Watonga, Wood's girlfriend, was arrested March 24 on a complaint of possession of a firearm while on felony probation, according to a search warrant affidavit filed July 12. After her arrest, she told Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation agents she and Wood coaxed Nimmo to her residence in Watonga on Jan. 19.

A consent search of Durbin's former residence in Watonga on March 15 revealed blood and evidence of attempted evidence destruction, the affidavit states. A search of Nimmo's car, which had been found on a dirt road southeast of Watonga, revealed a rag with blood and blood on the car's outside.

Mother demands answers about son's death

The mother of a missing Blain County man is still desperate for answers three years after her son's disappearance.

www.news9.com

Donovan Nimmo's mother, Donna, said he was a troubled man. He spent the last 12 years of his life either on drugs or in and out of prison.

<<"When he got out of prison July 22, 2004, he told me he wouldn't see his 30th birthday," Donna Nimmo said. "I didn't believe him."

It was six months later, Donovan Nimmo was dead.

"All I want is for Mike Wood to tell me where my son's remains are," Donna Nimmo said. "That's what I want.">>

Details of Disappearance​

Nimmo was last seen in Blaine County, Oklahoma on January 19, 2005. He has never been heard from again. The next day, a sheriff's deputy found his abandoned light blue 1995 Buick Century on a dirt road southeast of Watonga, Colorado. Nimmo's mother reported him missing on February 3.

In March 2005, Jennifer Marie Durbin confessed to Nimmo's murder. She gave her statement to police after she was arrested for a weapons violation. Durbin stated she was a friend of Nimmo's and lured him to her trailer on a pretext.

Her boyfriend, David Wayne Wood Jr., was waiting there. He and Nimmo had never met, but he had threatened Nimmo over the phone and Nimmo was afraid of him and would not have gone to the trailer if he had known Wood was there. A photo of him is posted with case summary.

Durbin said Wood shocked Nimmo several times with a stun gun, then beat him inside the trailer while she served as a lookout. They bound Nimmo with an extension cord and put him in the trunk of his own car. Wood drove the car and Durbin followed in her own vehicle.

After Nimmo's car ran out of gas, they put him in Durbin's car and drove around northwestern Oklahoma looking for a place to put his body. They had to stop the car and beat him several times to keep him quiet. Finally they stopped on a bridge over a body of water and Wood threw his body in.

When investigators searched Durbin's trailer, they found Nimmo's blood in the carpet and carpet pad and on a towel. The carpet had been bleached and parts of it had been burned in an effort to get rid of the stains.

Authorities also got a supporting statement in July 2008; a friend of Wood's stated Wood had told him he and Durbin beat Nimmo to death, wrapped his body in a piece of carpet and disposed of it.

Durbin and Wood were charged with first-degree murder in July 2008. Durbin pleaded guilty in April 2010, and Wood pleaded guilty in July. Both of them were sentenced to life in prison without parole.

Nimmo has a history of drug abuse and has been in and out of prison his entire adult life. He, Durbin and Wood allegedly used methamphetamine together on the day of his disappearance.

He is from Enid, Oklahoma, and both Oklahoma and Colorado authorities are investigating his case. Foul play is suspected due to the circumstances involved.
