A Louisiana man was arrested on Tuesday — after police investigating his girlfriend’s disappearance reportedly discovered a headless torso in his freezer.
New Orleans police searched Benjamin Beale’s home days after questioning him about the whereabouts of his girlfriend, Julia Dardar, 36, who was reported missing by her estranged husband on December 23. The husband said Dardar, who was last seen in November, had left him and moved in with Beale, 34, according to The Times-Picayune.
Days before his home was searched, Beale allegedly told police that Dardar may have died by suicide or overdosed. He also claimed Dardar had moved out but had left all her belongings, including her car, The Times-Picayune reported.
However, police said a search of Beale’s home produced a dismembered, decapitated torso inside a deep freezer that was in a bus parked in Beale’s backyard.
“Upon opening the lid of the freezer, investigators observed the headless torso of what appeared to be an adult human female,” the affidavit stated, according to WLOX. “A deep linear cut was visible along the left shoulder/upper arm area, which appeared to have been inflicted post-mortem.”
New Orleans police sources told WDSU that many of the body parts were wrapped in plastic.
The torso was reportedly close to a reciprocating saw that had fluids and flesh on the blade. Detectives said goggles, garbage bags, and a face shield were also near the torso, WLOX reported.
Police have not confirmed whether the torso is Dardar’s, and Beale has not been criminally charged in connection with her disappearance and death. However, authorities have accused him of running a methamphetamine lab at his New Orleans home.
After refusing to answer questions about the torso, Beale was charged with obstruction of justice, illegal carrying of a weapon in the presence of controlled dangerous substances, distribution of methamphetamine, possession with the intent to distribute marijuana, and creating or operating a clandestine drug lab.
What is it with these idiots. Decapitation? Dismemberment? You would assume they are in third world country of heathens. Disgusting rabid two legged animals.
And the law will turn them. Loose.
Decapitation and dismemberment gets rid of all forms of identification. My issue is that the police found a torso on his property in his bus in his freezer and did not charge him with at least not reporting a death, and improper handling of a human body? WTH is going on with the cops?
Doesn’t get rid of DNA!
We are turning into a third world country. Like Pelosi said Quote ” MS-13 Gang members are God’s children too. These are the types that would do this. The perp’s are the victims as far as the democrats are concerned that is why AOC and the progressive left want to shut down all prisons’. All they need is a hug and the Government to pay for their needs….the American tax payer actually will be paying for the criminal’s and if you reject that? They will call you racist and will destroy you!
Being stoned to death is too good for this maggot
Arrested on multiple drug charges. I get it they can’t charge him for her death yet since they aren’t sure if it’s her, but he still had a decapitated human torso in his freezer. I would think that’s still illegal, I’d hope so anyways.
Having close friends from El Salvador, the MS-13 doesn’t kill just to kill and it is usually within the gang itself. The cops are charging him with the harshest charges they can at this point; once an autopsy & DNA test are done, I am sure he will be charged accordingly. The biggest problem we have in this country is that once a killer is caught; we give him too many rights. I feel that once a killer is found guilty, beyond a shadow of a doubt, he should be put to death and not given to the scientist’ to figure him/her out. Self-defense cases should be handled differently altogether. We are seeing a lot of decapitations and dismemberments these days which shows that we are no longer better than any other country and yet, we are letting killers out by the handfuls. I think that if child molesters have to be on a registry so all can see, so should killers. How else are we able to be protect ourselves?
