One Night in Baton Rouge: An in-depth report into the disappearance and death of Nathan Millard
ฝัง

- Nathan Millard was like many people who come to Baton Rouge, to spend one night in Baton Rouge for work. The husband and father was in BR for work. But his visit is full of mystery clouded in darkness. Twists and turns have unraveled insecurities of the city we call home.
He was a drug user and a cheater. He went looking for sex and drugs in a rough area. PERIOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Accept the fact that he was a drug user and a cheater..not a model citizen.
You don’t know him he was a human who made a terrible choice who ever wrapped him a rug and dumped him like garbage I hope they rot in jail I feel bad for his children
I feel bad for Amber. She seems to be in denial about who her husband was and what he was doing. Sad story.
agree. Everything is everyone else's fault. What happened to this man is terrible and should not have happened. For the life of me though, and I say this as someone who was married to an addict, I cannot imagine why he made some of the decisions he made. From the strip joint on, it is a descent into real danger, especially in a city that he was not familiar with. It is great he has a lot of friends and family who cared deeply, but let's be real here, this is not the first time this man acted this way
That's probably why he married her. His first wife probably left him because of his addiction and then he married his second wife because she was willing to be in denial about it.
I feel sorry for his grown kids reading on the internet about his behavior and he died naked because he was with prostitutes in a crack house and shooting up drugs and died for it.
His wife knew he was a recovering addict BUT didn't mention this in her interviews to the public..she just bashed BRPD AND BR....U can find drugs and prositution in the safest city,state and neighborhood in America..PERIOD
That's what people in denial do... i am not making an excuse for her. Just sayin its the same as a parent never believing their kid committed murder
A body found wrapped in plastic and rolled up in a rug, no injuries or not how is that considered no foul play involved.
Exactly. That makes no sense..how the heck he get rolled up in a carpet and placed in an abandoned building
He overdosed the ppl he was with got scared and dumped his body… not saying it’s right but that’s what happened… every transaction was made was known about by him
Tragic that he had no regard for his wife, kids or his own life.
Addiction:..alcohol..sex..dope are lying just under the surface for some. He has probably done this successfully on other trips and figured it would just be another wild night-hangover next day then back to his family life until the next one. 😔
I agree with you 💯
I feel bad for this guy. I don’t think that’s who he was, he just got stupid drunk and didn’t know what he was doing. I feel for the family.
The bartender should have call a taxi instead of kicking out of the bar. And the coworker? Why he left him knowing he was intoxicated already? Many unanswered questions.
It makes wonder if co worker was involved
There are no taxis in Baton Rouge.
Sounds like he was a reckless dude I feel sorry for his wife n kids he really let them down
Also did any of ya think that he may have got ahold of some dope with the girls at penthouse ??? Did any of ya think that he could have possibly been engaged in some sort of criminal activity. I bet he didn’t tell his wife he was at penthouse ?? Making excuse for his actions
Real talk
Sounds like he wanted to party while nobody was looking. People that are sober for years, “slip” often. Sadly sometimes it’s fatal. Sorry for the family but, it is what it is.
I agree. And I hope he had been sober for 15 months like he told his good friend. I think he got caught up in being with a client that he liked, thought he could have "a few drinks" on fun night that included a basketball game but his addiction kicked in. We won't know if he asked anyone about a prostitute or if he was aware he was taking drugs or if he asked to buy drugs initially. Just a tragic story and ending.
He did everything on his own wasn’t forced to do anything they wrong for not getting him help but he asked for the drugs that killed him and I know that for a fact
Thank you for your true, in-depth, coverage on this case.
Derrick Perkins has already given the Police a report on the cause of death, which was an accidental drug overdose and the drugs that were used during his last hours, prior to death... This will help Forensics experts determine what drugs to test for in his system and make their jobs much easier when determining the cause & manner of death... Derrick Perkins was at the wrong place at the wrong time when allegedly flagged down by an unidentified man, because he was a known Drug Dealer; and another man introduced Nathan Millard to a prostitute... Police documents say Millard refused help from a security guard at the bus station, with him allegedly telling the worker he was looking for "something to make him feel better" and "a girl to take back to his room."
I’d like to know how he came in comtsct with a known drug dealer because he was from Georgia
How did he get his pin number to take money out?
Everybody putting him down I’d like to say that unless you walk in his shoes you can’t judge because you don’t know what it’s like to be a addict I pray for his family
If Amber can even get the head of LSP, Col Lamar Davis, to PICK UP HIS PHONE, THAT would be a story in and of itself
The Bartender refused to serve him, He's an idiot!!!! Age 42 and could not CONTROL his drinking, in a area he does not know etc etc. This could have happened anywhere in the world.
I learned age 18 always be able to maintain your awareness,
He shouldn't had acted so irresponsibly during a business trip out of state... He was more interested in finding drugs & a prostitute, rather than finding his phone to call his wife and let her know that he was o.k. He had a business meeting that morning at 8:00 a.m but was in the car with a drug dealer, prostitutes & a homeless man, at 4:30 a.m the morning of 23 Feb 2023... His priorities were in the wrong place at that time...
He likely did similar things on other business trip without others knowing. Many people live double lives or ride the slippery slope of addiction while maintaining a seemingly normal family life "most" of the time
I live close to Baton Rouge and If that man really cared about his family, he wouldn't have found the drugs that killed him. Along with 2 prostitutes and the dealer that rolled him up on plastic than a rug. When I first heard about this and where he was staying I knew at was drugs. Cuz they have an ATM at that Hotel. What he put his family through is heart wrenching.
All they are saying is he was NOT attacked. We know the family wants Murder 1 and cannot believe daddy was being a bad boy that night.
Personally he could have done drugs or even just completely drunk to the point he stripped off, got cold and just found anything to keep warm and died from the elements, it doesn't state he was wrapped in a rug like a jam roly poly then wrapped in plastic the same, he could have just thrown the rug around himself on the floor and used the plastic to stay dry too. He was obviously lost
@@cammey3 I believe they found the same roll of plastic at Perkin’s home.
@@JohnShoots1776 two prostitutes dumped his body after he overdosed on heroin
Amber, I’m speaking directly to you here…don’t let this go cold. Stay on it. The BRPD and their TOP BOSS are all racists.
Exactly.
sounds to me like the man came here with the hype of letting his guard down and with no street smarts. seen It a ton of times with visitors
My thoughts exactly
He's from the Atlanta, GA metropolitan area, a much bigger city than Baton Rouge, LA which is far away from home... I'm sure drugs & prostitution is nothing new to him...
Thank for Kiran for putting this together. I work downtown and it was getting really frustrating trying to follow all the little tidbits of information. I appreciate that you put this together into one coherent story about what is known so far. The drone shot at the end was awesome.
Detailed reporting
Very gripping, professional report. I really appreciate the clarity that the coroner brought, without judgements or being defensive. It really gives more understanding to the medical vs. legal investigation. I wouldn’t mind seeing more interviews with Dr. Clark in the future..
Thank you Kiran, for everything you do. Staying on top of it ❤
Thank you again Kiran for bringing the truth to light. BRPD and the mayor are an embarrassment to our city and state.
Great job Kiran! And nice to see such transparency from the Coroner’s office. No matter how this eventually unfolds, it’s just such a tragedy.
19:42 i really would have thought if a man was into hard drugs and prostitutes the wife pretty much kind of knows it. It’s disturbing that he could live a double life so effectively that she had no idea what he was really into. Very distressing to find out everything was lies. I hope she gets counseling. She deserves better than this.
I clicked immediately! Kiran, you are always on top of things!
Kiran, doing what the OTHERS won't do
Great reporting!!!
I feel so bad for his wife and children. I can not imagine.
Thx Kiran sad storyy
Can’t wait to see what the toxicology report has to say?
Just what I thought. The guy OD. I thought all along you should’ve waited until the toxicology report came back. There’s nothing there please move on. There’s plenty of other content to address with broome and her admin. This one was an L for us. Stop the bleeding by stop defending this guy. Let him rest in peace.
So 😢sad
Continued prayers for the family and for the truth.
thank you helping the family get answers and getting the truth to all. Would love to see a segment on the rising crime in BR
This was great, thank you ‼️
Thank you, Kiran and your team for bringing the truth. Prayers to The Millard family.
Didn't the guy who found Nathan's body give an interview with this news outlet? Is that person one of the people arrested in Nathan's murder?
Great report! We depend on you for the truth!
why such small charges? Seems the guy was paying for drugs and OD, the body was dumped, You do not rrob a guy and debit out $26 4-5 times. You take the max.
Exactly
He went out sightseeing got talking to peaple he stood out wanted a tour guide omg 😮 so sad 😭
Thank You for always reporting .
Kiran thank you so much for helping this grieving wife get her voice heard. I really feel as though you and your team helped to get this case as far as it has gotten. BRPD was ready to leave it a mystery with no "foul play" but they weren't ready for you! Excellent job on covering this case and your continued work to get more answers.
He overdosed on heroin sweetie. There is no foul play. He told people he was looking for a prostitute to bring back to his room. The police did her a favor by trying to save her the embarrassment of how and why he died.
WTH is this woman wearing!
Does Derrick Perkins have a plausible story? The guy did a speedball, he died, I torched the car, rolled him in the carpet, dumped the body took his debit card and made purchases. Thank you for trying to find the truth.
First thing they said they don't suspect foul play was involved really did they think he wrapped himself up in the carpet or did they think that it means nothing if somebody moves the body? baton Rouge screwed the pooch on this one 2nd red flag the witness who found the body called and 3 am did they even investigate the caller to see if he knew more then he was letting on? Did they think that a phone which had his locations information call logs and text messages that could've placed him at locations were unimportant? He is seen in a stolen car with random people a low life and a prostitute really no connection there? His family needs to hire a pi and sue the s*** out of baton Rouge police. Dude was a recovering alcoholic not a drug addiction so anyone questioned why all of a sudden he wanted drugs instead of going to another bar? Even though all his friends and family said he was very charismatic and easy going on alcohol? Why didn't they take the rug that they could've pulled DNA off of to identify the responsible party? Very lazy detective work and someone needs to lose there job got it
This is great investigation report
What was the other bar after Penthouse? No interview with any workers at the bars? What project were they here for?
I find it odd that they didn’t stay at any one place very long. For a recovering addict, a lot was packed into one night. I’m a little 🤔.
@@sharyn4271they wouldn't serve him at the Irish Pub
Thank you again for following up with this Kiran !
The well known drug dealer should rot his butt in jail keep giving slaps on wrist
No foul play? What a joke!😅
Great job Kiren. I was wondering whether they have ruled out natural causes like heart attack.
Prayers for Nathan’s family. I think he went out with his co-worker, had too many drinks, and blacked out which made him make bad choices.
The coroner is very professional. I enjoyed his interview and insight.
Kiran, you did and always do bring the real real story to light!! Thanks again!! Amber should ask the sheriffs office to take over!!
Thank you Kiran for following the story
It's just boggling that he was just in his underwear. I feel like his drink may have been spiked at the gentleman's club
No, this guy was out with one other guy and a prostitute most likely crack was the drug of choice. Who knows what went wrong bud he died from OD or murdered.
It’s not that weird when the police warrant for Derrick Perkins includes multiple points of information that he was looking for drugs and a prostitute that night and probably found both through Perkins.
Nope. He was at the house about to have sex when he overdosed
Please Kiran find the truth for this man and his family. Where’s the State Police or FBI?
not a federal matter
He overdosed, they got scared and dumped him.not much more
I went to high school with Nathan. Class of '99. I didn't know him well back then and certainly not as an adult, but I remember him very well because he was charming, handsome, and an all-around good guy. I hate this happened to him.
Yeah he was a great guy with a drug habit
Maybe it wasn’t a habit…. Maybe it was something he did every now and then? Not everyone uses every day, every week or even every month. Some just get a wild hair up their ass and wanna have “fun”
@@tiffanysantana7333 doing drugs is never fun!!! It destroys lives!!!!
@Tee Etta lots of great ppl have addictions..but Nathan was participating and overdosed from tox screens and autopsy they covered it up but he died at his own hands wife in denial and after a gentleman's club yes I believe as a intoxicated sexually frustrated man he was looking for sex and drugs what a betrayl for his wife to accept but men do this when they travel ALOT..dad the all American guy still is a man with needs
@Shalom Lee it does but let's call it what it is he went looking for the dealer the dealer wasn't seeking him out he basically handed a man with no morals or way of earning money on the street cash an said get me drugs and u can have some he wasn't a Saint like his wife is painting maybe that man panicked knowing the cops would blame him because he's black and poor and yeah it was wrong and he shouldn't of done that but Nathan ingested the drugs and paid the price
Well done.
NOW all of ya read the news reports as I suspected he died from an overdose of dope in a house in Baton Rouge. Was introduced to a prostitute and dope dealer. Nobody made him do it!! If he would have honored the fact that he was married and had kids at home instead of doing dirt he might still be here !!! Ya want to blame everybody but him make excuse just like his wife is doing now she’s knows reality !! Should have never been in strip club , looking for dope , etc !!!!!!!!
So it’s ok to kill someone, take their debit card, and leave his body wrapped up in a rug? You’re an idiot!
Coroner doesn’t agree with BRPD!!!
Nathan Millard cause or manner of death is still to be determined, per toxicology report... The Police is getting their information from the Coroner, based on autopsy report and after speaking with witnesses... Based on that evidence, it has been determined that no foul play took place... He should've went back to his Hotel room after leaving the Pub, which was a 2 minute walk away... Instead, he chose to hang out all night on Florida Boulevard near the Greyhound Bus Station looking for drugs and a prostitute per witnesses...
excellent 👍
Alright I just wrote a decent sized comment for your production team. Idk if it's bc I included my email but I imagine it got flagged bc its not here.
Anyway plz check your folder for it. Just passing information I thought would help. I produce small production films and really appreciate what yall are doing.
Do police chiefs and mayors usually call families of victims?
YOU CAN'T PLAY WITH THE DEVIL AND WIN!! HOW MANY TIMES HAS GOD TOLD HIM TO TURN FROM HIS SINFUL WAYS?! FOR THE WAGES OF SIN IS DEATH!!!
The non-chalance regarding the crime scene and the people associated with this man's death is puzzling and bizarre to me. To leave that rug there STILL just boggles my mind. The man was intoxicated and had a loss of good judgement. It should not have been a death sentence and this person's death was handled with casual dismissal when there are so many criminal elements at play.
Nobody caused his death except himself
Another case botched by BRPD
Can you make the captions available for the Deaf Community pls and Thanks in advance
Gosh....this is really sad. He picked the wrong town to get intoxicated in because Baton Rouge is a dangerous city. I live about 50 miles from there. Lots of crime and unsolved murders. It has to be really hard to hear these things about your husband/father. Please....everyone....be kind. Remember that your words have power and remember that he was someone's husband, father, son, friend. May justice be served.
You shouldn't get intoxicated anywhere.
@@djay1150 you're just dripping with compassion, aren't you? 🙄
Nathan was a doting husband and father yeah, but i think he got some silly-ass ideas once he hit the town. I mean, the hotel he was staying at was sure to have a bar, so why after hanging with his friend, did he venture out into the town, alone, Sounds like he was fishing for action, loitering.. probly checked out Craigslist to meet fishy chicks... WOAH, 4:11 A gentlemans club?? Nathan fell into temptation and ran into people, places and situations he couldnt control.
10 weeks toxicology test but you can get a DWI even with refusing a breath test by way of a blood draw that day.
Incredible insights Kiran. Thanks so much for all you do.
They need an independent autopsy although this doctor seems very competent. Also, I’m wondering if Millard was looking for drugs? A woman? A guy? Did the bartender who kicked him out spike his drink? An accomplice? Blood work oughta be interesting.
❤ I love Tim Miller! ❤️
I hate saying it. Drinking then he leaves client at bar takes stroll through downtown goes to atm from there he was looking for connects and met a killer in a dark night out. Very sad
@@crazyvidsgaming138 the arrest warrant for Derrick Perkins is pretty clear that Nathan was looking for drugs and a prostitute and willingly went with him to his house probably to find both. Multiple witnesses in the house say he accidentally OD’d.
@@crazyvidsgaming138read the affidavit of arrest..he went and found what he was looking for
Nothing like Baton Rouge 😂
If he had went straight to his Hotel room which was a 2 minute walk from the Pub, this wouldn't have happened... Instead he decided to hang out all night on Florida Boulevard near the Greyhound Bus Station looking for drugs & a prostitute, per several witnesses statements & Police reports... It doesn't appear that anyone was targeting him... He willing got in the car with Derrick Perkins, the homeless guy & prostitute(s) on Florida Boulevard and at the gas station...
Bond set at $14,000 ?
LOL, he certainly wasn't in EAST FELICIANA PARISH, that much is for sure
Just ask me why MY bond was THIRTY THREE THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS FOR CONTEMPT OF COP
Why is the FBI not involved?? And do an independent autopsy.
why do you think it's a federal matter?
Why do so MANY Amerikans think EVERYTHING is a federal matter ?
Does the BRPD care about justice for this man or just tourism!?? Foul play occurred and you know it!!
Thank you for covering this. I'm looking forward to updates.
It did seem, albeit just for an instant, that the Cap't giving the press conference grimaced at the way his detectives handled the crime scene. Those guys need to be writing parking tickets at the airport.
A well dressed out of town business man under the influence but not “Under Distress” (how does he know?! He’s inebriated!) wanders out of the safe downtown area and she doesn’t think it’s her business to call the police. He’s lost his phone. Hes asking where his hotel is. He hides his debit card like he’s being followed Smh 🤦♀️ I don’t care if he did go down there looking for drugs. (And I don’t believe that he was) She should have done something!
Did you really the reports? He told the security at the greyhound station "I'm looking for something to make me feel good"
Geeze way to many long commercials in this that can not be skipped
BRPD should be ashamed
LOL, but aren't
Great report! Justice for Nathan!!!
He overdosed and was dumped by the prostitutes he picked up.
That guy did not know the woman was prostitute etc the woman could be dead also 😢
If that man was to drunk to walk then how the hell could he go buy drugs from a homeless guy,who then find to prostitutes, come on now make it make sense why would that man break his sobriety,on a business trip, somewhere in another state, were he don't nowhere to go, he's drunk, but his buddy leaves him,then he ended up dead, I'm really starting to think that his homie set him up allegedly, but everybody sitting up here saying oh I guess he lived a double life,the man was so f-uck up he ended up at the greyhound station saying he think someone was following him, in the lady at the greyhound station had to help him find his way back to the hotel,in she lets him leaves out the back door,So do that sounds like someone that wanna get high,if he was so dizzing in drunk, we're is they he almost got hit buy a car, sounds like someone drugged him at the bar allegedly, in another thing how they keep saying drugs , when the man had a alcohol problem
Kiran thanks for carving for your community
our so called Mayor did not even give her sympathy to the family, sad
It would be the same had it happened in Atlanta, GA, near his home city, where drugs & prostitution are more common, in a bigger city... You would think that since he was in Baton Rouge, LA on a business trip, his employer would be making a big issue about his death, as well, and demanding a big investigation into this case...
The company was his.
He is my cousin. Thanks for sharing this
WOW.... BRPD
No one is buying the BRPD story. At all. I feel so bad for the family. And to find out the person they arrested was given a $14000 bond is unreal and a major slap in the face of the family.
Do any of ya pay attention ? They went to penthouse , history of being an addict do your homework ! What happened at the penthouse and after ???? Penthouse is full of dope and hores ya need to really pay attention to the whole story
It’s as though they don’t think anyone with an addiction is worth investigating 😢
@@leeburns4630 BRPD doesn't seem to think anyone is worth investigating.
@@leeburns4630
The sad part is BR PD got a 13% budget increase in the last 2 years equating to $7 million… These cops hate servicing and protecting. Greyhound security called the cops for help yet they didn’t want to bc Nathan wasn’t in “distress.” Sad story
That’s a no foul play bond
AS A BLACK WOMAN LIVING HERE IN BATON ROUGE THANK YOU MS. KAREN
The arrest affidavit pretty much tells the story piece by piece..he told the security guard "I'm looking for something to make me feel good".. They rode around Baton Rouge doing drugs for hrs
