Two women, one man, fifteen acres
Madison Renee Allen was 32 when she disappeared in late November 2023. Family members say she had been living in Zachary, Louisiana — at the home of Thomas Morris.
Stephanie Hevia disappeared in March 2025. Her last known location: Morris Road, at Thomas Morris’s home in West Feliciana Parish. She was an acquaintance of Morris.
Two women. Sixteen months apart. Both connected to the same 43-year-old man.
In July 2026, Morris was arrested — not for Allen or Hevia, but after a woman told deputies she had been brought from Montana to Louisiana against her will and was being held at Morris’s home. (Some accounts describe the initial call as a 911 call placed from a store bathroom; we have not been able to confirm that detail from an official source.) He was charged with false imprisonment and second-degree kidnapping — later reports also mention illegal possession of stolen firearms — in that separate case, and he remains jailed.
Sheriff Brian Spillman named Morris a person of interest in both disappearances. Both women, the sheriff said, were known acquaintances of his.
The searches
In September 2026, the investigation became impossible to ignore. Deputies executed a search warrant on a 15-acre property on Morris Road in West Feliciana Parish — searching, the sheriff announced, for evidence including possible human remains. Specialized equipment. A search expected to take at least a week. Days later, the investigation expanded again: Zachary police began searching the grounds of a property on Ash Street, connected to the same cases, as part of the multi-jurisdictional effort.
“We know that there’s more information. We know that there are other people out there that have information. We know that there’s other evidence that might exist that will help us in this case,” Spillman said.
On September 23, 2026, the West Feliciana Parish Sheriff’s Office partnered with Capital Region Crime Stoppers to put up $10,000 for information leading to the arrest and indictment of anyone responsible for the women’s disappearances — boosted from the normal $5,000 as part of Crime Stoppers’ “FIRST 48” program.
An eight-day multi-agency search of the Morris Road property ended September 18, 2026, with no human remains found; investigators collected items they believe could be associated with the disappearances. The Zachary police search of the Ash Street property also turned up items being examined, investigators said.
As of early October 2026, neither Madison Allen nor Stephanie Hevia has been found. No one has been charged in either disappearance. Morris remains jailed on the separate kidnapping charges, and the presumption of innocence applies to him regarding Allen and Hevia.
Theories: what might have happened
Foul play connected to Thomas Morris. The through-line of the official investigation: two women who knew the same man, vanishing sixteen months apart, now a person of interest jailed for allegedly holding a different woman against her will at his home. Supporting it: the pattern, the POI designation, the searches for human remains. Undercutting a conclusion: Morris has not been charged in either disappearance, and the September 2026 searches found no human remains — though investigators collected items they believe could be associated with the disappearances.
The cases are unrelated. Possible in principle — adults go missing for many reasons. But two acquaintances of one man, both missing, strains coincidence, which is why investigators are treating them together.

Corrections (Oct 2026): (1) An earlier version said the woman in the July 2026 case “called 911 from a store bathroom”; we could not confirm the bathroom detail from an official source, so it is now flagged as unverified in the text. (2) Added September 2026 developments from WAFB/louisianafirstnews reporting: Morris named “prime suspect” (Sept 10), the eight-day Morris Road search ended Sept 18 with no human remains found but items collected, and items were also found during the Zachary Ash Street property search.
