TRUECRIME: Man gets over 100 years in prison for killing beloved Detroit chef

In this episode of Crime Watch Daily Updates: The disappearance of chef and U.S. Marine veteran Douglas Calhoun. He was last seen May 31, 2017, and mysteriously didn’t show up to some paid catering gigs. He even missed a flight to St. Louis to cater a wedding. Family and friends grew worried and reported him missing. Investigators learned that on June 1, 2017, Doug went to a home in Detroit’s Brightmoor neighborhood where he reportedly paid a woman who he contacted on Backpage.com for sex. When he asked to have sex without a condom, the woman, who was 17 years old, refused. The two started arguing, and the girl’s boyfriend, Travun Baskerville, came in and shot Chef Doug. The woman ultimately led police to a vacant garage where she and Baskerville left Doug’s body in a trash can. He was found July 7, 2017 — 37 days after he was killed. The 17-year-old also told police that Baskerville forced her into sex work starting when she was 16. The Wayne County Prosecutor charged Baskerville September 1, 2017, with murder and human trafficking-related crimes. He was convicted in July 2018 and sentenced a month later to 120 years in prison. Let’s take a look back at the case of a talented chef whose life was taken far too soon.
