Teen’s Remains Found at Landfill | New Orleans News

After a six-week, multi-agency search at a Louisiana landfill, authorities believe they’ve found the remains of 15-year-old Ja’Derrius Minniweather — matching his missing clothing and confirmed by DNA pending. The breakthrough came from surveillance footage showing the body dumped in a trash can on June 22nd, leading investigators to narrow the search to a half-acre area.

Teams in protective gear combed through hazardous waste for weeks, with officials thanking all involved for bringing this young man home — while the investigation continues.
