BATON ROUGE — The Baton Rouge Police Department will hold a news conference at 3 p.m. on Tuesday regarding human remains found with clothes reportedly matching those of missing 15-year-old Ja'Derrius Minnieweather.

Minnieweather disappeared from Baton Rouge in early June, with police later arresting 51-year-old Maurice Parms, charging him with first-degree murder in connection with Minnieweather's death.

Following Parms' arrest, Mayor-President Sid Edwards and BRPD announced that evidence led them to believe Minnieweather's body may be located in the North Landfill. This led to a multi-week, around-the-clock search of the landfill by police and federal agents.
