Overview
The Mr. Prada Therapist Murder Arrest refers to the arrest of TikToker Mr. Prada, Terryon Ishmael Thomas, who was accused of murdering therapist William Nicholas "Nick" Abraham in September 2024. The Baton Rouge, Louisiana therapist, known locally as "Dr. Nick," was found dead along Highway 51 in nearby Tangipahoa Parish, LA. In a viral news report, CCTV photos of the main "person of interest" were released and many on TikTok and Twitter / X said that the man pictured was Mr. Prada. Many TikTokers reacted to the images and made claims that Mr. Prada had been abused by his therapist, drawing a correlation between Nicholas Abraham's 2015 arrest for allegedly molesting one of his 11-year-old patients. Viral videos concerning the subject spread online. On October 1st, Mr. Prada was arrested in Dallas, Texas.
