Today, we are going to Harrington, Delaware, where 41-year-old Charles Holden returns home from work just after 1 am. Pulling up to his home, he notices a man lurking outside, peeking in the windows. Charles, who shares the property with his mother, left the scene to phone the police. Charles explained to the dispatcher that he feared the man was trying to break into his mother’s home and was worried since she lived alone.  Charles went back to the location to wait for the police.  Corporal Myrna Williams Kinney of the Delaware State Police arrived, walked around the house, and discovered a window on the back of the house had been shattered. Charles's heart sank as he worried about his elderly mother.  Join Jen and Cam on this episode of ‘Our True Crime Podcast’ as we discuss “The Hitchhiker: The Murder of Dorothy Donovan.” This episode is sponsored by SleepCreme.com.  Go to SleepCreme.com and order today to experience better sleep, If you don't get better sleep, they will refund your money, simple as that.
