Kris Morgan Posted January 16, 2014 Posted January 16, 2014 Sad to announce the passing of model car builder Doug Moorehead. Doug was a long time builder and a fellow club (DMCC) member. Doug was a proud member of the Downriver Model Car Club and rarely missed a meeting. Doug died at his home Sunday at age 67. The meetings will not be the same without you, you will be missed. I am glad that I had the chance to know Doug. RIP Doug.
ZTony8 Posted January 16, 2014 Posted January 16, 2014 This story is more tragic than Kris mentioned.It seems that Doug was attacked in his apartment and stabbed to death.Some of Doug's personal posessions were taken as was his car which was later found on a Detroit side street.The suspect was arrested.
Kris Morgan Posted January 16, 2014 Author Posted January 16, 2014 Was trying to leave the details out Tony. No harm done though. Adding to this is the fact that Doug was both mentally and physically challenged. I tell ya, it is a sad world we live in sometimes.
disabled modeler Posted January 16, 2014 Posted January 16, 2014 I hope hes building in heaven...RIP.
Agent G Posted January 16, 2014 Posted January 16, 2014 I hope hes building in heaven...RIP. I'm sure he is. RIP our brother in plastic. G
Danno Posted January 16, 2014 Posted January 16, 2014 Sad. Doubly sad that we still have wretched morons on this planet who have nothing better to do than destroy good people.
Greg Cullinan Posted January 16, 2014 Posted January 16, 2014 RIP Doug and my condolences to family and friends.
Austin T Posted January 16, 2014 Posted January 16, 2014 It;s just sad that someone would do something like that to a person in that condition. I really hope that the creep gets life in prison and not something stupid. RIP Doug,I'm sure he's at the big workbench in the sky building on.
charlie8575 Posted January 16, 2014 Posted January 16, 2014 Sad. Doubly sad that we still have wretched morons on this planet who have nothing better to do than destroy good people. Couldn't say it any better myself. May there be a nice cold cell in this cretin's permanent future. Charlie Larkin
ZTony8 Posted January 17, 2014 Posted January 17, 2014 What most bothers me is that the suspect,who was described as a homeless pan handler,will,if convicted,end up with three hots and a cot.He should be forced to serve the sentence outside in winter.Meanwhile,poor Doug,who never harmed anyone,is gone.
Kris Morgan Posted January 17, 2014 Author Posted January 17, 2014 (edited) Lets just hope this creep gets a nice long sentence. Edited January 18, 2014 by Kris Morgan

I concur. I have sent a few folks away for life in my career. Regardless, nothing I did, as hard as I worked, ever brought the victim back. G
mnwildpunk Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 I don't know the details but i'm probably guessing he invited the bas**** in from the kindness of his heart (known many to do so) and was taken advantage of. Rest in peace my friend
ZTony8 Posted February 5, 2014 Posted February 5, 2014 Dave-We in the club think that's precisely what happened-Doug befriended the suspect while the suspect was panhandling by a local freeway near Doug's residence.Doug was that kind of guy.There was an update in yesterday's paper about the case that said that Doug begged the suspect to stop choking him-before he stabbed him in the chest with a kitchen knife.
slusher Posted February 6, 2014 Posted February 6, 2014 Sad story, a helping hand killed. Creep needs the chair...
