On Friday, police in Baton Rouge arrested a woman they believe to be connected to the missing Georgia man who was found dead and rolled into a rug on Louisiana highway earlier this month.

Police shared that Tiffany Ann Guidry, 27, was booked on charges of unlawful disposal of human remains and failure to seek assistance in connection with the man’s death.

The man, Nathan Millard, 42, was traveling to Baton Rouge from Covington, Georgia, last month. WXIA reported that Millard was a construction executive and has five children.

During his trip to Louisiana, he is believed to have attended a LSU basketball game and met a work client at a local pub, police shared.

After the pub, police believe he was headed back to his hotel room near midnight, but he did not arrive. Security footage from a Greyhound station caught some of his movements. A security guard at the station reportedly offered to help get him to where he needed to go or call the police on his behalf, Baton Rouge Capt. Kevin Hines said.

Blocks from the station, police located his wallet and phone discarded.

More than a week after he was last seen, his body was found in a rolled-up rug on the side of a highway.

Police have also arrested 45-year-old Derrick Perkins in connection with Millard’s disappearance. Police are also searching for Tabbetha Barner, 33, who is wanted and accused of failure to seek assistance in the man’s death.

Perkins has been charged with unlawful disposal of remains, obstruction of justice, simple criminal damage to property, and failure to seek assistance.

A preliminary autopsy of Millard’s body did not suggest his death involved foul play. However, the full results are expected to be released soon, according to the East Baton Rouge coroner’s office.

WVLA reported that court documents the outlet obtained that were filed in support of the three suspects allege Millard was on a drug spree and died from overdosing on an illicit substance.
