FDLE NEWS RELEASE: The Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE), Florida Department of Corrections (DOC) and the Florida Police Chiefs Association (FPCA) are offering a reward for information leading to the capture of Phillip Donovan, 70, for his 1982 escape from the Bradenton Work Release Center. He is one of a dozen cold case prison escapees being featured during the “12 Days of Fugitives” campaign – a joint public outreach initiative by FDLE and DOC.

Donovan was convicted of first-degree murder for the shooting death of a hotel clerk. On April 11, 1964, Donovan entered a Miami Beach hotel and demanded the clerk hand over money. When the clerk refused, Donovan shot him between the eyes. Donovan is also believed to have committed other violent crimes in the New York City area.

Donovan served in the U.S. Army in a clerical position. He has been employed as a bartender, shipping clerk, delivery man, and has done farm work. He enjoys softball, baseball, shooting pool, swimming, and going to the movies.
