The Marine Corps and the Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS) are investigating an alleged TikTok confession in which a man claims he helped two others bury a dead biker at Camp Lejeune in North Carolina.
According to the TikTok confession posted last week, the body of a “random biker” is buried in a rarely used landing zone on the Marine Corps base.
In the 59-second-long video, a man identified on the TikTok video as Sgt. Fehr of Camp Lejeune claims he helped two other Marines bury the body of a man after an encounter that took place behind the Lo-Re-Lei bar and restaurant in Sneads Ferry, near the base.
The other two Marines, according to the man in the video, just “didn’t f––––– like” the biker and “ended up f––––– killing him.”
The man claims the body is 20 to 30 feet into the woods and buried 10 feet underground.
“There’s a frickin’ right turn. Then you take a left turn,” the man explains in the video. “And there’s, like, an open LZ [landing zone]. At the very end of that LZ if you walk into the woods, like 20 to 30 feet into those woods, ‘cause nobody ever uses that LZ, you dig like 10 feet down. And there’s a f––––– dead body.”
A woman, whose voice can also be heard throughout the video, then shouts, “No, there’s not!”
After some bickering between the two, she asks, “Whose dead body?”
“Some random a– f––––– biker dude,” he replies.
“The 2d Marine Division is aware of the TikTok video alleging criminal misconduct. NCIS is investigating this matter at this time,” First Lt. Olivia Giarrizzo told Law & Crime. “We will continue to assist the investigating agency to the fullest extent possible.”
NCIS spokesperson Jeff Houston told WITN News, “I can confirm that NCIS is aware of this TikTok video and is conducting an investigation into the matter. Out of respect for the investigative process, NCIS will not comment further while the investigation remains ongoing.”
Major Joshua Pena also told WITN News, “U.S. Marine Corps Training and Education Command is aware of the content published on social media. There will be an investigation into the matter in cooperation with appropriate commands and organizations. No additional information is available, at this time.”
