In the summer of 2015, the body of 59-year-old John Tallant, a male, was discovered underneath the I-12 overpass in the 1900 block of O'Neal Lane in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. He was a member of the local homeless community.
An autopsy later revealed the grim circumstances of his death; Mr. Tallant had sustained blunt force trauma, leading authorities to classify his death as a homicide.
The investigation into his murder was announced by the Baton Rouge Police Department.
Despite the initial investigation and the clear evidence of foul play, no suspects have ever been publicly identified or arrested in connection with the death of John Tallant. The case has grown cold over the years, leaving the question of who was responsible for his death unanswered. His murder remains an unsolved crime in the city of Baton Rouge.
