Douglas David Horn, 57, was found dead in the basement of a Racine Avenue residence in Burlington, Iowa, on the afternoon of November 26, 2019. He had been a fugitive for months, the subject of multiple state and federal felony warrants, and law enforcement agencies including the Burlington Police Department, the Des Moines County Sheriff’s Office and the Southeast Iowa Narcotics Task Force had been tracking him. The Des Moines County Sheriff’s Office Tactical Response Unit entered the property to search for Horn and discovered his body; the Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation was asked to assist because the circumstances were not immediately clear. Authorities initially withheld his name pending family notification.

The sequence of events inside the Racine Avenue home that led to his death remains unclear. Does anyone have information about Horn’s movements in Burlington or the Racine Avenue residence that could help clarify what happened?
