Sequent Energy Management president Douglas Schantz is missing in New Orleans after leaving a French Quarter bar alone around 2am early Friday morning.

“We just assumed that he came back to the hotel,” Homestead said, adding that it is also not unusual for co-workers to take different flights home.

They began to suspect that something was wrong when Schantz didn’t return for the meeting. Their worries escalated when Schantz’s wife called to say he had not come home.

The NOLA police department and SEM officials are searching the Quarter thoroughly for Schantz or any tips into his disappearance.

A reward has been offered by Crime Stoppers and matched by SEM.  If you have any information about Schantz’s disappearance you can call NOLA Crime Stoppers at 504.822.1111.
