A headless human torso was discovered in the freezer on a bus in Louisiana during a police search for a missing woman, officials said Thursday.
The police were conducting a search in the case of a missing woman when they discovered the dismembered corpse in the freezer on the bus near a New Orleans home.
Benjamin Beale-34 has been arrested for obstruction after he refused to cooperate with their investigation. Beale lives in the home where the remains were found.
Beale was taken into police custody for obstruction of justice in a death investigation charge as well as multiple drug charges. Police discovered a meth lab while investigating the property.
Micah Dardar, of Louisiana, said he believes the discovered remains are those of his missing wife, Julia. According to Dardar his wife suffered from serious meth addiction and left him last year after the family asked her to seek help. He told police that she had been living with Beale since then.
Dardar said he reported his wife missing in December, though police have not yet released the identity of the remains.
