Leroy Foster, a 60-year-old African American handyman, was reported missing by his mother on March 27, 2015, in Cedar Bluff, Louisiana. Two days later his dismembered remains were found scattered along a rural county road, and the missing-person case became a homicide investigation.

Police traced the case to the home of 60-year-old paraplegic Terry Lee McKinney, for whom Foster had worked. A search of McKinney’s residence uncovered a chainsaw and other items stained with Foster’s blood and tissue. McKinney was arrested on March 29, 2015, and during the investigation he admitted dismembering and disposing of Foster’s body but denied killing him.

McKinney’s trial began October 31, 2016. Prosecutors relied on the physical evidence recovered from the home; the jury convicted McKinney of murder and dismemberment, and the judge sentenced him to life in prison. Does anyone have information about Foster’s life in Cedar Bluff or knew the men involved?
