The man charged in the murder of Jorge Diaz Johnston allegedly
got rid of his body by tossing it in a dumpster outside the
apartment the two men shared and wheeling it down the street.

That grisly detail was included in newly released search warrant
affidavits that Tallahassee police filed in early January, after
Diaz Johnston went missing and was found dead in a Jackson
County landfill. It also contradicts previous accounts from law
enforcement that the body was first dumped in an Okaloosa County
landfill and hauled to Jackson County.

Steven Yinger, a felon with a long history of burglary and theft
convictions, was indicted Thursday on first-degree murder and
other charges in the death of Diaz Johnston. Yinger, who
allegedly strangled Diaz Johnston to death, is being held
without bail in the Leon County Detention Facility.

Diaz Johnston’s body was found Jan. 8 at the Jackson County
dump, a regional landfill that takes trash from Leon County and
surrounding areas. Landfill employees told police that just
before the body was found, a truck from Tallahassee dumped a
load of trash. The body was wrapped in linens believed to have
been taken from his bed.

Police also said that after an initial search warrant was served
at Diaz Johnston’s apartment on Alachua Avenue, a trash can was
found down the road. Blood was found in the bottom of the
receptacle.

“Based on the above information, there is concern Jorge was
murdered at his residence via strangulation with a ligature,”
detectives wrote. “It’s also believed Jorge’s body was disposed
of via residential solid waste pick-up on Friday, Jan. 7, 2022.”

Investigators with the Tallahassee Police Department hoped to
find whatever binding was used in the murder inside Diaz
Johnston’s apartment. They also hoped to find blood evidence,
which they said may have been cleaned up or concealed.

Police also got a warrant to search an apartment on Texas Street
of a man Yinger described as his drug dealer. Yinger told police
that he “rented” Diaz Johnston’s blue BMW to the man in the wake
of his roommate’s disappearance.

Investigators wrote in one of the affidavits that they were
concerned the man may have been involved in the murder or the
disposal of the body. The man denied any involvement.

The man was sentenced in January to 12 days in jail for
possession of cocaine. Court records show he has not been
charged in Diaz Johnston’s murder. State Attorney Jack Campbell
said he couldn’t comment on whether the man is a suspect in the
killing.

“It’s a pending criminal investigation,” Campbell said. “It’s
inappropriate for me to talk about the facts.”

Police went to Diaz Johnston’s apartment the night of Jan. 7
hoping to find him. Instead, they found his car out front and
Yinger inside. Yinger told officers he hadn’t seen his roommate
in several days.

“(Yinger) allowed officers to look around the residence to which
nothing appeared out of the norm,” police said in a report.
“Officers explained Jorge’s room was organized and appeared he
just left (no signs of a struggle or foul play was detected.)”

But officers noted something was off about Yinger.

“(Officers) explained (Yinger) appeared ‘weird’ as if he was not
telling the full truth about something,” the report said.
“(Officers) described (his) responses to be short and nonchalant
in some manner.”
