Louisiana Therapist’s Body Found Wrapped in a Tarp Along Road

Authorities in Louisiana have identified 20-year-old Terryon Ishmael Thomas, a TikTok personality, as a person of interest in the case of William Nicholas “Nick” Abraham, a well-known 69-year-old therapist who was found dead along Highway 51.

TikTok Star Identified in Investigation

While charges related directly to Abraham’s death have not yet been filed, Thomas faces several charges in connection with the case, including aggravated criminal damage to property, resisting an officer, and unauthorized use of a motor vehicle. The Baton Rouge Police Department issued the warrant on Tuesday, confirming Thomas as the individual who allegedly stole Abraham’s vehicle and led police on a chase. The TikTok personality crashed the stolen car during the pursuit before fleeing on foot. He has yet to be apprehended. Police have not released details about Thomas’s social media presence, keeping his TikTok username undisclosed. However, investigators are actively seeking more information about his involvement, including any potential connection to Abraham’s death.

Violent Attack Leads to Therapist’s Death

Authorities believe Abraham’s death resulted from a brutal physical assault. According to Tangipahoa Parish Sheriff Gerald Sticker, Abraham suffered significant blunt force trauma to his head, neck, and shoulders, leading to his death. The sheriff described the attack as “very physical and very violent,” noting that investigators are still working to determine exactly where it occurred. While no weapon was recovered at the scene where Abraham’s body was found, officials suspect the attack took place elsewhere before the body was dumped along the highway. The search of Abraham’s home yielded no evidence of foul play, further complicating the investigation. Abraham’s body was discovered Sunday morning, wrapped in a tarp, and left along a remote stretch of Highway 51 in Tangipahoa Parish. The discovery has shaken the local community, as the victim was a well-respected therapist known for his work in the region.

Investigation Continues, Public Asked for Help

As the investigation into Abraham’s death continues, law enforcement is asking the public for assistance. Anyone with information is encouraged to contact the Tangipahoa Parish Criminal Investigations Office at 985-902-2008. Additionally, anonymous tips can be submitted through Crime Stoppers of Tangipahoa’s tip line at 1-800-554-5245 or by visiting their website.

Authorities remain focused on uncovering the details of the violent crime, especially determining the exact location of the attack. Despite the lack of immediate charges related to the murder, Thomas’s connection to the stolen vehicle and his flight from law enforcement has made him a critical figure in the case.

The investigation continues to evolve, with detectives from both the Baton Rouge Police Department and Tangipahoa Parish Sheriff’s Office collaborating to bring justice to Abraham’s family. As they await further developments, the community remains on edge, hoping for swift resolution and the apprehension of those responsible for the therapist’s tragic death.
