The man who discovered Millard was driving north from Baton Rouge when he decided to stop and see where the scent was coming from.

As the man approached the abandoned carport lot, he came out with a flashlight to take a closer look. That’s when he saw the carpet behind a driveway, he told UWK.

“At first I thought it was someone throwing food, and then I saw the feet,” he recalled. “That’s when I really freaked out and my stomach was turning.”

Millard’s remains were discovered rolled up in a rug, covered in plastic, it was reported. Authorities said they could only identify his decomposed body through his fingertips.

“I was really terrified because I had never, ever seen or found a deceased person,” the man said.

Texas EquuSearch, a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping find missing people, began its search last week and offered a reward of up to $10,000 for Milliard’s location.
