A man who discovered the decomposed body of Nathan Millard, a Georgia father-of-five, and called 911 said he detected a “rotting, dead animal stench” as he drove by a Louisiana neighborhood. He was then shocked to see feet sticking out of a rug. Nathan Millard was reportedly dumped in a vacant lot in Baton Rouge, wrapped in plastic and rolled up in a carpet after he died of an accidental overdose.
Police do not suspect foul play but the official cause of death is pending the completion of a full autopsy. Investigators are trying to determine how Millard’s body ended up at the location.
The motorist who made the gruesome discovery noticed a strange smell while driving about 3 a.m. Monday. He rolled down his window and was overcome by a powerful odor.
The man got out of his vehicle to investigate and poked around with a flashlight, which illuminated a carpet. He said, “At first I thought it was someone throwing out food, and then I saw the feet. That’s when I got really scared and my stomach was just turning in knots.” The driver told the news outlet that he was pretty much terrified because he didn’t know what happened.
Millard, who traveled to Baton Rouge to stake out a prospective gig for his construction company, had gone to a Louisiana State University basketball game and Happy’s Irish Pub with a client the night of Feb. 22. He left the pub alone around 11:30 p.m. after being cut off for allegedly having too much to drink and headed back to his nearby hotel. However, he was not heard from the next morning.
On Tuesday, police said Millard went to a Greyhound bus station about an hour after leaving the bar. A security guard there offered to call him a ride or call police, but he declined.
Meanwhile, new surveillance video captured him walking with a mystery man, who keeps falling over, in the hours leading up to his disappearance.
The encounter reportedly occurred before Millard refused help from the security guard. Millard is survived by his wife Amber, their 7-year-old daughter, two teenage sons from a previous marriage, and two teenage stepsons.
Amber said she last spoke with him when he FaceTimed her to show her the seats he and his client secured for the hoops game. She said, “It was not anything I ever thought would be my last call.”
