A Louisiana man is suspected of killing his stepfather following a tumultuous relationship between the two, with details of the crime revealed in voice recordings shared by the suspect with his brother on Facebook, according to law enforcement officials.

The suspect, Ian Seghers, purportedly confessed in the recordings to arming himself with a hammer before carrying out the attack. The recordings were later shared with the police by Seghers’ brother, Sean Crawford, who then presented them to a local media outlet for public disclosure.

“Walked up in that b— to do it,” Seghers allegedly said.

Authorities claim that Seghers committed the murder of his stepfather, Walter Rowland, around March 9, coinciding with the date Rowland was reported missing after failing to attend his regular meeting with his sister. To date, Rowland’s body remains undiscovered.

Seghers’ arrest warrant and affidavit, which were obtained by local media outlets this week, describe the pair as having a “rocky relationship” leading up to Rowland’s murder, according to CBS affiliate WAFB. The arrest warrant details how Seghers allegedly asked in his voice recordings for someone to help clean up the murder scene.

“He leaves these messages again and again also stated that he had to remove carpet because of the disgusting mess that was at this residence,” the warrant said, according to ABC affiliate WBRZ.

Crawford told WLOX he feels guilty about turning the recordings he received on Facebook Messenger over to local authorities, but he also knows it was the right thing to do. Cops confirmed to WAFB that they received the recordings, which helped lead to a charge of first-degree murder for Seghers.
