THERE WERE BITS OF FLESH ON THE SAW

Cops fear drug dealer chopped up lover

COPS searching for a missing woman found a chopped-up body in a freezer, a saw covered in “bits of flesh” and her wallet in a safe on the property.

Micah Dardar reported his estranged wife Julia Dardar, 36, missing on December 23, 2021, according to police in New Orleans.

Dardar told police his ex had moved in with Benjamin Beale, a 33-year-old alleged meth and pot dealer.

Police spoke to Beale, who told them he hadn’t seen Julia since December 16 and she had moved out of his home but left her belongings and car behind, according to court documents.

Headless

He said they were having relationship issues and he believed she may have been suicidal.

Police served a search warrant at Beale’s home on January 11 and saw extension cords running out the back door and into a Chevrolet Diesel 60 bus parked in the yard.

Inside, they found a freezer and ice box. In the freezer, investigators discovered “the headless torso of what appeared to be an adult human female,” court documents state.

She had suffered deep cuts that “appeared to have been inflicted post-mortem.”

In a nearby Coleman ice chest, police said they found a reciprocating saw “which appeared to have bits of flesh and fluid on the blade”.

Nearby they found goggles, a plastic face shield and garbage bags.

Police also found an alleged meth lab and illegal weapons.

The crystals found in the home later tested positive for methamphetamine.

In a bedroom safe, detectives said they found Julia Dardar’s purse, wallet, identification and credit cards and at least two unlawful firearms.

Beale refused to talk further after being arrested but he has not been charged with homicide.

He is currently held at the Orleans Justice Center on charges of alleged obstruction of justice in the missing person case, distribution of meth and marijuana, possessing illegal weapons and running a “clandestine drug lab.”

The identity of the remains has not yet been confirmed by authorities.
