A Louisiana man was charged with the murder of a missing 36-year-old mother, whose remains were found in a freezer last week.
According to reports, Benjamin Beale (above) is being held in New Orleans on $1.4 million bond after allegedly dismembering Julia Dardar. Two weeks after she was reported missing by her estranged husband on December 23, 2021, police found the woman’s body stuffed in a freezer that was inside a school bus on Beale’s property in New Orleans.
Micah Dardar, her estranged husband, said to WGNO that the mother of his daughters was “suffering from addiction and mental health issues and need[ed] help.”
While it was known to family and friends that she was staying with Beale — who has two teenage daughters and is better known within the New Orleans abstract art community as Kelley Kirkpatrick, according to the outlet — police allegedly told Micah that the artist claimed to have not seen Julia since December 12.
