A 20-year-old TikTok personality, Terryon Thomas, known as Mr Prada online, has been charged with murder following the discovery of a therapist’s body wrapped in a tarpaulin on a Louisiana motorway.
Thomas was arrested in East Baton Rouge on Tuesday after 69-year-old therapist William Nicholas Abraham was found dead by the roadside in Tangipahoa Parish a few days prior. Authorities have confirmed that Abraham’s cause of death was blunt force trauma, as reported by Sky News’ US partner, NBC.

The East Baton Rouge Parish Sheriff’s Office stated that the relationship between Thomas and the victim, William Nicholas Abraham, remains unclear, and there is no indication that Thomas was a patient of the therapist.
The arrest warrant reveals that Mr. Abraham was last seen entering Thomas’s apartment on Saturday night, and his body was found the following day, still dressed in the same clothes. Witnesses reported seeing Thomas struggling to drag something wrapped in a blue sheet down the stairs of the apartment building before placing the tarpaulin in Mr. Abraham’s car.
