How strange that the very same day the missing report appears in the media, his body is found.

Sending prayers for his family.

RIP, Brandon.

A Denham Springs man facing a count of second-degree murder pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity Thursday in a case involving a body found shot in the head and floating in the Blind River Canal in 2013.

In a brief hearing, Joshua M. Mitchell changed his plea from not guilty in the 21st Judicial Circuit Court in Livingston before Judge Elizabeth Wolfe.

Detectives have said they believe Mitchell shot 26-year-old Brandon Steele Parnell while they were on a highway in the Denham Springs area in February 2013. They think he then drove to St. James Parish and dumped the body in the canal near U.S. 61 just north of Gramercy.
