The Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office announced Monday that investigators have identified the human remains found buried in a Marrero backyard.
Sheriff Joe Lopinto says the body of Eddie Tillman, missing since August 2023, were pulled from the ground of the property in the 1200 block of Gaudet Drive.
Dustin Billiot, the former owner of the property where Tillman's remains were discovered, has been arrested.
Deputies booked Billiot last week on charges including second-degree murder, unlawful disposal of human remains, and other charges.
The sheriff said a Crimestoppers tip late last year led them to the Marrero home.
