The Georgia man, who was found dead curled up in a rug, was in the trunk of a drug dealer’s car for several days, police said

Police believe they have solved the mystery of the death of a Georgia man who was found curled up in plastic and carpet during a business trip in Louisiana.

Nathan Millard was on a trip to Baton Rouge when he disappeared and was found dead days later. Police said there was no sign of third-party negligence, although he was found wrapped in plastic and buried in a rug.

Baton Rouge police said in a statement on Monday press release that a man arrested in the case likely carried Millard’s body around in the truck of his car for several days before dumping it where it was found.

Earlier, police said Millard was caught on surveillance video talking to a security guard at a bus stop on the night of his disappearance. In Monday’s press release, they added that Millard allegedly asked the worker for “something to make him feel better” and “a girl to take to his room.”

Police say he was introduced to a prostitute and 45-year-old Derrick Perkins, who goes by the name “Stanka”. Perkins allegedly drove Millard to a property where he could do drugs, but police believe Millard overdosed.

Perkins is accused of wrapping Millard’s body and stuffing it in the trunk of a stolen car and driving him around for several days before his body began to smell bad. He also allegedly showed some witnesses Millard’s body in the trunk.

Police said Perkins’ car was found on fire, but that a K-9 dog could still smell the “human decomposition” smell in the trunk. They also said they found plastic at the drug dealer’s home, similar to the plastic Millard was wrapped in.

Millard was a husband and father of five children.

Perkins was charged Monday with unlawful disposal of remains, obstruction of justice, simple criminal damage to property and failure to provide assistance.
