Duell Stephen Moreland, 26, was reported missing from Monterey, Louisiana, on March 29, 2016. A month later, on April 29, 2016, a family friend and relatives found skeletal remains near Bayou Cocodrie that were identified as Moreland’s by the rubber boots he was wearing and a steel ankle implant from a prior injury. Investigators determined he died of a gunshot wound to the head; his body appeared burned, wrapped in a tarp, bound at the ankles with rope, and dragged to the discovery site after possibly being concealed for about a month.

Attention quickly turned to a family member. Cousin Hartwell Layne Tiffee, known as Hart, was arrested April 30, 2016, after a sawed-off shotgun was found at his home and was later charged with second-degree murder. Because Tiffee’s father was a Concordia Parish Police Juror, the local district attorney and judges recused, and the Louisiana Attorney General’s office prosecuted. In 2017 a grand jury returned a No True Bill and Tiffee was released. The case remains open and Moreland’s family continues to seek answers.

Does anyone have information about Moreland’s movements in late March 2016 or who might have seen him in Monterey?
