Flagler County Sheriff's Office deputies arrested a Virginia man with warrants for his arrest in connection to a 14-year-old cold case.
Timothy Hickerson, 43, of Palm Coast, was pulled over on Tuesday, Sept. 17 for a traffic stop after he ran a red light, a FCSO press release said. When the FCSO deputy ran his name, he discovered active warrants for Hickerson's arrest from Virginia for second degree murder and burglary, Hickerson's arrest report said.
Hickerson is wanted for the murder of Shane Ryan Donahue, 23, of Nokesville, Virginia, the press release said, who has been missing for 14 years and is presumed dead by Virginia authorities. His remains have not been found, the press release said.
Donahue disappeared on March 24, 2010 after he left his parents home in Nokesville. Investigators recently reactivated the investigation and discovered Hickerson is believed to be the last person to see Donahue alive as the two were seen leaving Donahue's parents' home together.
Hickerson was also connected to a burglary at Donahue's home days before Donahue's disappearance.
Prince William County, Virginia investigators obtained the warrants against Hickerson since reactivating the investigation, the press release said. Hickerson is being held at the Flagler County jail until he is extradited back to Virginia. He has been living in Palm Coast since 2022.
