the Greyhound Bus Station, Nathan Millard contacted an employee and engaged in conversation, while
also using the ATM and withdrawing cash money. Affiant notes that the employee of the bus station
attempted to offer Nathan Millard help and/or use his phone to call a ride for him, but Nathan Millard
stated that he lost his phone prior to arriving at the bus station and refused any help and/or assistance in
getting Nathan Millard a ride back to his hotel. After several attempts and pleas by the bus station
employee to offer Nathan Millard help and/or a ride back to his hotel, he told the employee of the bus
station that he was "looking for something to make him feel better", as well as "looking for a girl to
take back to his room". Affiant learned that Nathan Millard arrived at the bus station on foot with a black
male who was later positively identified and contacted, and herein will be referred to as . After Nathan
Millard finished using the ATM, he exited the bus station and proceeded on foot, now walking W/B on

notes that the above mentioned/described vehicle was learned and/or confirmed to be that of a 2004
Toyota Camry (VIN #4T1BE30K14U834382), that was reported to BRPD on 2.6.2023 as a UUMV

surveillance security cameras from the convenience store located at 3135 Nicholson Dr., Baton Rouge,
La. 70802.

During the course of the investigation, Affiant was able to positively identify "Stanka" as DERRICK
PERKINS (5.7.1977 B/M) from a CI (Confidential Informant), as well as identify the vehicle DERRICK
PERKINS was in possession of based on viewing surveillance security cameras, and also crime fighting

from various individuals, including DERRICK PERKINS' girlfriend/ex-girlfriend , and his mother
, with the phone number being . Assisting Detectives then obtained a phone records
search warrant to include historical phone records as well as real-time pings of the device’s location. Once
the records were received, Affiant notes the phone was used for the duration of the records but there were
no locations in the records or pings after 3.6.2023. Affiant also notes that Nathan Millard’s body was
discovered on 3.6.2023 and it appeared as if DERRICK PERKINS turned the phone off or placed it into
airplane mode to prevent the phone from connecting to the network, which is a method used to prevent
the phone’s location from being pinged by the service provider. Affiant learned that DERRICK
PERKINS’ account was still active for the phone and also learned the phone was likely being used over a
Wi-Fi network, which allowed the phone to be used in airplane mode without generating a location.
Assisting Detectives also obtained video surveillance from 3.5.2023 at 0050 hours of the blue Toyota
Camry traveling on Ontario Street past the location where Nathan Millard’s body was found one day later
on 3.6.2023 at approximately 0330 hours.

Further review of the phone records placed DERRICK PERKINS’ cellphone in the area of the Circle K
store at 0411 hours on 2.23.2023, which is the last location Nathan Millard was seen alive via
surveillance. The phone records placed DERRICK PERKINS’ cellphone in the area of the residence at
508 E. Washington multiple times on multiple dates between 2.23.2023 and 3.6.2023. The phone records
placed DERRICK PERKINS’ cellphone in the areas of both the AM Mart and the Chevron/Kangaroo gas
station on 2.23.2023 when Detectives observed him using Nathan Millard’s debit card at both stores.
Additionally, the phone records were used to verify/confirm some information provided by confidential
informants and other persons interviewed regarding this investigation. Moreover, DERRICK PERKINS’
cellphone records placed him at or near the 2000 block of Ontario Street where Nathan Millard’s body
was eventually located on multiple occasions (almost daily) between 2.23.2023 and 3.6.2023 when
Nathan Millard’s body was found.

On Monday 3.13.2023 at approx. 0515 hrs., BRPD was dispatched to 2960 Osceola St., in reference to a
vehicle fire. Affiant notes that 2960 Osceola St. is approx. less than half a mile (0.26 miles) from 2000
Ontario St., which is the location of where the deceased body of Nathan Millard was located. A BRFD
Case Number: 23-17818 Warrant Number: Approved on: Mar, 19, 2023 at 03:38 PM
Arson Investigator was requested and was summoned to the scene, with BRFD Arson Investigator J.
Poitier later arriving on scene. Affiant and assisting BRPD Detectives also responded to the scene as well
and determined the vehicle was likely the 2004 blue Toyota Camry that DERRICK PERKINS had been
using. Assisting Detectives requested Roadrunner Wrecker Service for "Official Storage" for the above
mentioned vehicle. The vehicle was towed to the Baton Rouge Police Evidence shed, which is a secured
facility, where assisting Detectives followed behind the vehicle to ensure it was secured in the shed.
Assisting Detectives then obtained a search warrant for the vehicle, which was granted and/or authorized
by the Honorable 19th JDC Judge G. Ray. Furthermore, assisting Detectives obtained video surveillance
from 3.13.2023 at 0014 hours which showed the Blue Toyota Camry traveling west on Ontario St.,
crossing over Scenic Hwy., and continuing west onto Ontario St. Affiant notes that the site where the
vehicle was found burned is approximately one block east of Scenic Highway and the site where Millard’s
body was located is approximately one block west of Scenic Highway. Affiant also notes that the location
or address listed on the DERRICK PERKINS' issued Louisiana ID Card is 2246 Tecumseh St, Baton
Rouge, La. 70802, and the distance between this location or address is approx. 0.5 miles from both 2000
Ontario St. (body dump site) and 2960 Ontario St. (vehicle dump site).

Also on Monday 3.13.2023 at approx. 1142 hrs., a vehicle search warrant was executed on the above
mentioned burned and charred vehicle. Affiant also requested a trained cadaver K9 that is USPCA
certified in human decomposition from LaSAR, in attempt to alert on the scent of the deceased body of
Nathan Millard, within the burned and charred vehicle to corroborate previous statements made by
witnesses and the CI. USPCA certified K9 Chica, an eight (8) year old Weimarner, gave a positive alert
in the trunk for the presence of human decomposition.

On Wednesday 3.15.2023 at approx. 1330 hrs., a search warrant was later executed at the residence
belonging to and/or being used by DERRICK PERKINS. Affiant notes that the residence is located at
508 E. Washington St./Lorri Burgess Ave. After being granted and/or authorized by the 19th JDC
Honorable Judge G. Ray on 3.15.2023 at 1140 hrs. A detailed search of the residence yielded a roll of
plastic sheeting that appeared to be consistent with the plastic used to wrap and/or dispose of Nathan
Millard's body based upon Affiant and assisting Detectives reviewing crime scene photos and speaking
with Crime Scene Investigators who were present on scene.

Affiant notes that the above listed charges are to be "add on" charges due to DERRICK PERKINS
currently being in EBR Parish Prison on other charges relative to this investigation.
