ZACHARY — On Monday morning, several Zachary Police Department units responded to a home along Ash Street in connection with an ongoing search for the bodies of two women whose disappearances were connected to a West Feliciana Parish man.

The WBRZ Investigative Unit has learned that the search for the bodies of Stephanie Hevia and Madison Allen has expanded from a home along Morris Road in St. Francisville to Zachary. 

The Ash Street home is the last place Allen was seen in 2023. 

Both the home on Ash Street and the one along Morris Road are connected to 43-year-old Thomas Morris, who was previously arrested on kidnapping and false imprisonment charges.

The West Feliciana Parish Sheriff's Office, last week, began an extensive search on the 15-acre Morris Road property hoping to find Allen and Hevia's bodies. Over the weekend, the sheriff's office identified several sites on this property that will need to be excavated.
