Neighbors say he was found dead in his own home. Now police are investigating a homicide at Elsmere Park in Lexington.
It’s been a shock to family and friends that a jovial and friendly man was murdered in his own home.
Neighbors got curious when they hadn’t seen 66-year-old Douglas Saylor in a few days. One neighbor went over to his home and discovered a disturbingly bloody scene. “This has just shocked all of us. This is just terrible. Doug lived here probably 15 years,” says Cindy Leonard.

Leonard herself has lived in the tight-knit community on Elsmere Park for about 25 years.
“It’s just an awful thing like nothing I ever expect to see happen on this street. And it’s continued that way throughout the day and I just wanted to get together with some of my neighbors just so we can console each other,” says Leonard.
Police aren’t exactly sure when the crime happened, so they’re requesting the help of the general public. Saylor was known to shop at flea markets and they’re hoping to find people who had seen him in the last few days.
Police are not describing how Saylor was killed, but the coroner believes they’ve identified a murder weapon.
Police say it’s simply too early to determine a motive for the crime.
If you saw Saylor anytime during the last few days, contact police immediately.
