NASHVILLE (TCD) — Police arrested a 38-year-old man after a neighbor reportedly saw him dragging what appeared to be a body out of a building and into a rain culvert.
According to WSMV-TV, on Tuesday, Jan. 23, Metro Nashville Police Department officers were called to Parliament Place Apartments after a maintenance worker and the apartments’ supervisor reportedly noticed Dominic Collier moving a body through the building and into a culvert. Police reportedly obtained a photo and surveillance footage of the incident, which led them to identify Collier as the suspect.
Police reportedly went to Collier’s nearby apartment and found clothing on a chair that matched what was seen on video evidence.
The victim’s body had been wrapped in blankets and a shower curtain. WSMV reports the victim’s head was covered with a garbage bag and camouflage backpack.
Jail records show Collier was arrested on charges of abuse of a corpse, tampering with evidence, and failure to report a dead body. His bond was set at $75,000.
The Tennessean reports Collier was not cooperative with detectives and refused to speak with them. The victim has not been publicly identified yet.
