History[]
Doug, alongside his friend Nicky Pratt, became the prime suspects in the disappearance of Jennifer Durning, a Canadian student who went missing on her class field trip to New York. It was later found that the two had abducted and murdered her afterwards to cover up their alleged rape of her and then threw her body in a river that washed it out to sea, where it could never be found. He and Nicky later had the rape and murder charges dropped with prejudice for the Durning case after Jason King, Nicky's cousin and a witness to the crimes, disappeared as well. They were later arrested again for murdering Jason, who they had abducted and murdered to stop him from testifying against them, which had led to the dismissal of the Durning case in the first place. They were assisted by Nicky's girlfriend, court officer Emily McCooper, who had access to the case.
After killing Jason, Nicky and Doug threw his body in the same river as they did to Jennifer's, but unlike hers, the body got stuck on a bridge nearby. As a result, they were both convicted of murder and sentenced to life imprisonment. (SVU: "Gone")
