TikTok personality named as suspect in death of Louisiana therapist
A Tiktok personality with more than four million followers has been named as a person of interest in the death of a beloved therapist whose body was found wrapped in a tarp on the side of a Louisiana highway.
A passerby had noticed the suspicious tarp rolled on the side of Highway 51 just before 8am on Sunday and alerted the Tangipahoa Parish Sheriff's Office. Deputies who arrived on the scene then found the body of well-known therapist and motivational speaker William Nicholas Abraham, 69, inside the tarp.
Just one day later, a Baton Rouge police officer spotted 20-year-old Terryon Ishmael Thomas - better known online as Mr. Prada - driving Abraham's black Lincoln MKZ, according to an arrest warrant.
It said Thomas refused to obey as the officer attempted to conduct a traffic stop - and instead backed into the police vehicle and fled on foot while officers recovered the victim's vehicle.
A motive for the murder remains unclear, but East Baton Rouge Parish court records obtained by WWL show Abraham was previously arrested in 2015 for allegedly inappropriately touching an 11-year-old boy during a therapy session.
Abraham was never charged in the incident, and Sheriff Sticker said that while he is aware of the arrest, he is focusing on locating where the therapist - who had a regular show on Baton Rouge television - was killed.
Abraham had worked as a Catholic priest for 14 years, serving in Mississippi and Milwaukee, before ultimately becoming a therapist. Abraham also doubled as a life coach, 'motivational speaker, recording artist, author, teacher and trailblazer,' according to his website, which notes that he had experience treating substance abuse, anxiety and depression and worked with the LGBTQ community.
