Details of Disappearance
Donovan left her home in Galivants Ferry, South Carolina on November 14, 2002, to do some Christmas shopping in Conway, South Carolina. She was last seen in the parking lot of a Wal-Mart in Conway. The security cameras in the lot show that she was kidnapped during a carjacking at 2:45 p.m. Her husband reported her missing to the next morning.
In July 2005, Chadrick Fulks and Branden Basham pleaded guilty to a federal charge of carjacking resulting in death to avoid a possible death sentence. Basham and Fulks had escaped from the Hopkins County (Ky.) Jail in November 2002. They have said that they carjacked Samantha Burns shortly thereafter and killed her, though her body has not been found. They are currently on death row for killing Alice Donovan. Donovan's remains have also not been found.
