Nathan Millard's death under investigation has a new development as the closest to the person of interest in the disappearance and death of the Georgia businessman is identified by the Baton Rouge Police.
A bystander found the missing Georgia man's rotting corpse because of the rotting stench while covered in plastic and carpet. He had been missing for two weeks before the discovery.
Investigation of Nathan Milliard's Death
A statement from Police Sgt. L'Jean McKneely speaking to WAFB about naming Derrick Perkins, who is not considered a person of interest but close enough to clarify some concerns about how Millard died.
The police official said they were looking for him to ask questions about the circumstances and asked the public for help to find this individual, reported Crime Online. He explained that depending on the outcome of these conversations, that would chart where it leads.
Investigators want to question Perkins, 45, who is under probation violation, damaging property, three instances of fraudulently accessing a device, also using a vehicle with no permission.
Details show that Millard, 42, went to Louisiana last February 22 on a business trip to meet a client. He attended an LSU ball game and went to Happy's Irish Pub in downtown Baton Rouge near his hotel that night.
His client said the victim left at 11:30 p.m. but never returned to his hotel room, though cameras tracked him until 4:30 p.m. He went missing after that, and his body was found three miles from the pub, cited Yahoo.
Person of Interest Could Shed Light on Millard's Death
No indication from the preliminary results of an autopsy showed that foul play was committed due to the lack of any internal or external injuries. It is not final because another toxicology check on the body is due, but they said that the person who wrapped the body and then left it in the lot would be charged.
Police Captain Kevin Heinz speaking at a press meeting, said that if something happened and panic was involved, they should contact the police. They aim to know the circumstances that happened to Millard.
Nathan Millard Investigation Still Ongoing
There is uncertainty about whether Perkin is involved or if he is the one who was with the victim walking on Florida Boulevard seen in a video from WBRZ.
One observation the authorities made from the videos is that Millard was not flustered about anything. The security guard at the Baton Rouge bus station saw Millard and remarked nothing was out of the ordinary, and he did not look distressed.
Furthermore, the guard at the station asked if he wanted an Uber or to call the police, which Heinz mentioned. Millard said it was not necessary and left the station on his own.
Getting the input of all those who interacted with the victim shows that nothing seemed to bother him to indicate any distress or problems when he disappeared.
The police have named someone closest to becoming a person of interest in Nathan Millard's death and seek the individual for questioning to shed light on what happened to the Georgia businessman.
