Boston 25 News writes that after he killed his parents, Joel Guy Jr. returned to Baton Rouge. When Lisa didn’t show up for her work soon after, her boss called her and got no response. Feeling that something was wrong, she notified the authorities. Soap Boxie reports that a welfare check was requested at the Guy family home. When police walked in, they found blood-splattered walls and floors (via All That’s Interesting). After killing his parents, Guy Jr. dismembered them, per WVLT. The heat was turned up, and body parts were scattered throughout the home. Some were even placed in Tupperware containers.

Guy Sr.’s wrist, arms, legs, and right foot had all been severed. His hands were found on the floor in a bedroom. As for Lisa, her legs and arms had also been removed. The limbs were then placed in chemical substances in an attempt to dissolve them. Both of their torsos were placed in the bathroom, and Lisa’s head was found boiling in a pot on the stove. One detective stated (per WVLT), ″I will never get those smells out of my head or my dreams.” Although Guy Jr. was not immediately on their radar, Oxygen writes that a disturbing discovery made him their prime suspect.
