November 11, 2001, started off as a peaceful day for Beverly Bender and her boy-
friend, Brian Willis but ended in a nightmare that most people can't even imagine.
Brian and Beverly had just left a Veteran's Day function in Homosassa when they
were hit by a Ford F150 (which fled the scene) and in which Beverly was also run over by two
additional cars (who also left the scene). A witness did get the tag of the truck that hit them
but Donovan fled to California-after burying the front fender of the truck that had evidence of
hitting the blue bike Bev and Brian were riding. Donovan finally returned to Citrus County
