 (Above photo credit: cincinnati.com) From cincinnati.com: A warrant is out for an Indiana man in connection to the fatal shooting of a White Oak woman in Northside, officials said. Cincinnati police issued a warrant Thursday for Travis Bailey, 25, of Commiskey, Indiana. Police said Bailey should be considered armed and dangerous. Megan Donahue was found shot in a vehicle last Thursday morning, police said. She was transported to University of Cincinnati Medical Center where she succumbed to her injuries. She was 34. Bailey is a white man with blue eyes and blond hair, police said. He is 5 feet 11 inches tall and weighs approximately 180 pounds. The investigation is ongoing. Anyone with information on Bailey or this homicide is encouraged to call the homicide unit at 513-352-3542. www.cincinnati.com/story/news/2020/04/16/police-indiana-man-wanted-fatal-shooting-white-oak-woman/5150313002/Thoughts? As of this posting date (April 18th, 2020), a search of Hamilton County's online criminal court records still shows the charges against Bailey as "warrant only" with no court movement since April 16th, 2020: www.courtclerk.org/data/case_summary.php?casenumber=%2F20%2FCRA%2F6995Admin Note: If you have any (news-related) updates on this case, please contact us here: amwfans.com/thread/1662/website-contact-form |

Moving this thread to Fugitives on TV section since Bailey was given a profile on last night's (5/1/2020) episode of Live PD: Wanted on A&E. Also they say Bailey and Megan Donohue were not boyfriend and girlfriend. Investigators believe this case is the result of a drug deal gone bad. This of course is still no excuse for her murder. m.twitter.com/OfficialLivePD/status/1256434008134729730 |

Bailey still shows as not in custody in court searches as of October 21st, 2020. Also found an article which goes into more details- apparently Bailey's girlfriend- Shelby Geisler- allegedly tried to reach into Megan Donhoue's car and take her cell phone- when she was unable to, Bailey allegedly shot Megan. Later that morning she was found in her car and then taken to the hospital where she succumbed to her injuries. www.cincinnati.com/story/news/2020/07/20/indiana-couple-charged-northside-robbery-homicide/5474352002/ |

Also the article only mentions Geisler as being charged with robbery, but I checked the online court records and she is in fact charged with murder as well.

Shelby Geisler is facing two counts of aggravated felonsy murder and two counts of aggravated felonsy robbery while travis remains at large. Megan was my best friend almost 15 years as close to a sister that I've known ever, she didn't deserve this. We just want him caught and to stand in a court to answer for his actions. Two others already will never be charged even though they were present during the shooting, he at least should have to answer for that night to her family just as Shelby is.

Hi cgray0418,
Welcome to the forum, although I am extremely sorry for the circumstances that brought you here.
I am relieved Shelby Geisler is being charged with murder as well. If you ask me, when someone dies as a result of illegal activity such as robbery, it doesn't matter, both are responsible, and I hope she gets just as severe punishment if convicted as Travis Bailey will if and when he is hopefully caught and convicted.
For what it's worth I will make the manhunt for Bailey case of the week next week (we select a new case to put on the front page every Sunday and he'll be on the front page for the week of January 3rd- January 9th, 2021).
I've already recommended your case to some people I know at In Pursuit for consideration to profile for Season 3 (whenever they start working on Season 3) prior to your joining, but I'll make sure to mention it again if I get a chance to talk to anyone again. Of course, what we all hope for is for Bailey to be caught sooner rather than later and before there would be a need to profile him on national television again (Live PD did the best they could but I know it was a short segment).
I'll also see if I can get a posting about Bailey to the In Pursuit: Missing and Wanted Facebook group, although sometimes it takes a while for approval (it's the show's Facebook group but I'm not sure if all the moderators work for the show) but I'll post if I see my post made it.
I'm extremely sorry for your loss. I know friends are hard to come by- especially best friends and I hope full justice comes one day for everyone responsible for this senseless crime.
-Scumhunter

Thank you, I couldn't ask for more. Live p.d. aired the segment regarding him on my birthday. Ive reach out to his family and friends begging for this guy to be caught. He shot her with his and Shelby Geisler one month old baby in the car. They sat in her house for several hours prior to asking Megan for a ride to the bottom of the hill where her being shot is filmed. I am attempting to place a cross at the site she was shot with her date of birth lit up even at night but not her death. I refuse to allow him to tarnish her memory. He shot megs that night but in doing so he immortalized her and once I am able to face him in court at sentencing I will never speak of him again. He will never outweigh her memory with his carelessness. Thank you so much for this.

Every week I select a new case of the week (the new one is also a case request) but I promise not to forget about this case.
In my opinion, Bailey is a pretty catchable fugitive, it's just a matter of enough exposure.

cgray 0418,
Just in case you log in again soon, not sure if you heard but America's Most Wanted is coming back on March 15th.
This isn't John Walsh's team and is an entirely new crew. So far I don't know anyone from the new AMW and no one from there has ever registered on this site or had any interaction with us or me, but just a heads up if you wanted to try reaching out to them to see if they can also air Megan's story.

Her mom's birthday was last week and this was the best birthday present anyone could give her. This is the biggest relief for us all.

I am really glad for her sake she can rest easier now. I'm sorry it took so long to arrest him but it is great that he's finally apprehended and I agree this must be a great birthday present! P.S. Just in case you don't see this thread, I'm moving it to the Captures on TV section.  |
