Canton Man Found Dead In Trunk, Driver Charged In Killing: Police

CANTON, MI — A man is facing life in prison after officers found the body of a Canton man in the trunk of a car in Dearborn, police said.

Glen Mclean, 69, was reported missing, along with his car, from his Canton home several hours before police found his body in the trunk of a car during a traffic stop in Dearborn, police said.

Jeffrey Dwight Locke, 50, was charged with first-degree murder. His bond was set at $100,000 and scheduled his next court date for May 19. If convicted, he faces life in prison without parole.

On Tuesday, several hours after a family member reported Mclean and his car missing, Dearborn Police found Locke driving Mclean's car, police said.

Canton officers assisted Dearborn Police and found Mclean's body in the trunk, police said.

Police believe Locke assaulted Mclean at his Canton home. Officials said they learned Mclean befriended Locke several months ago and allowed Locke to stay inside his home. They would work on cars together, officials said.

"Seniors must be extremely careful about the people they let into their lives," Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy said. "It is alleged that Mr. Mclean allowed the defendant into his home, where he helped to repair cars."
