A Georgia man visiting Baton Rouge, Louisiana, on a business trip was found dead more than a week after he was reported missing, police said Monday.
Nathan Millard, 42, went to a Louisiana State University basketball game and then to Happy’s Irish Pub with a client on Feb. 23, police told NBC affiliate WVLA of Baton Rouge.
Millard, of Covington, Georgia, left the pub around 11:30 p.m. to walk the short distance back to his Courtyard Marriott hotel, said Texas EquuSearch, an organization that helps find missing people.
He never made it back to his hotel.
The group said Millard’s phone and wallet were found discarded.
Police said on Facebook that Millard’s body was found around 3:34 a.m. Monday on Scenic Highway. Sgt. L’Jean McKneely told WVLA that his body was wrapped in plastic and rolled into a rug.
The cause of death was unknown. Baton Rouge police said the investigation continues.
