Remains of Louisiana Man Missing Since January Located by Hunters, Authorities Asking for Assistance from the Public in Investigation

DeRidder, Louisiana – On September 15, 2022, the Beauregard Parish Sheriff’s Office confirmed that, with the assistance of the Calcasieu Parish Forensic Center, the human remains discovered on September 10, 2022, had been definitively identified as those of 33-year-old Ryan A. Heflin. Heflin’s family reported him missing on January 31, 2022. An investigation was launched right away, however there was very little information at the moment. Detectives pursued every clue and tracked down Heflin’s location until his body was discovered by hunters working on their hunting property on Saturday, September 10.

In a press release, the Beauregard Parish Sheriff’s Office offered their deepest condolences, and prayers, for Ryan’s family and friends in this difficult time.

The investigation is ongoing at this time.

Authorities are asking anyone with information regarding Ryan’s disappearance to please call the Sheriff’s Office at (337) 463-3281, or submit a tip through their NIXEL application. You can remain anonymous.
