Gay D.C. Attorney Mysteriously Found Dead In Stranger’s Car

"It's freaky," says the car's owner of Daniel Potucek's unexplained death.

Daniel Potucek, a gay attorney for the Transportation Safety Administration in Washington, D.C., was found dead last weekend in a stranger's vehicle.

Police discovered Potucek's body, which had no visible signs of injury, sitting in the passenger seat of a Mazda SUV parked in a residential D.C. neighborhood.

The SUV belongs to D.C. resident Alexander MacLennan, who said he has never met Potucek and does not know how the victim got into his car. "It's freaky," MacLennan told NBC News 4. "We were definitely freaked out."

Potucek, 34, frequented at least one of the gay clubs in the neighborhood, the Washington Blade reports, which include Town, Nellie’s Sports Bar, the Dirty Goose, and Uproar. Surveillance cameras at a nearby restaurant may have captured his final moments.

Lorinda Potucek, the victim’s mother, is seeking answers about her son's mysterious death. “We all think, with beyond a reasonable doubt, that there’s more to this story,” she said. “Daniel always has made it home.”

“As of this point, we are told that there were no personal items on him when they found him in the car,” she told Fox 5. “Anyone who saw Daniel at any of the clubs, bars or restaurants at any time, we are just hoping that somebody gives us as much information so that we can retrace his steps that night.”

A police investigation is ongoing, pending the release of autopsy and toxicology results.

According to his LinkedIn profile, Potucek, a Duke University and Harvard Law School graduate, had been an attorney-adviser for the Department of Homeland Security since 2013.
