re: Is there an update on missing 40 year old man?

Has any family/friends from Georgia made the flight down to talk to plead to local media or knock on doors/hand out flyers in the areas?

I keep thinking of my own family and friends - if they just disappeared one night in a city that was an hour flight away.

For the sake of the wife and kids who probably feel so helpless, I would in 48 hours be on a plane or on the road to make some sort of effort to dig deep.

Unless, there was a known personal history and this may not have been as much as a mystery as thought.

Finally, I just don’t know what’s the motive of someone to murder him if they already got his wallet and daily limit out of his ATM.

I just don’t think the Downtown Baton Rouge Boogie Man snatching naive tourists a block from their hotel is a fair story that had been pitched nationally the first few days.

LINKFrom Unfiltered with Kiran
BATON ROUGE — The search group helping find a Georgia father and husband who vanished in downtown Baton Rouge during a work trip more than a week ago has released new details in their investigation.

Nathan Millard, 42, disappeared February 24 during what was supposed to be a quick 24-hour work trip. Millard was in town to meet with a client at a construction site.

EquuSearch joins the search

Texas EquueSearch, a nonprofit volunteer group, has been helping Millard’s family.

Kristen Harvey, a search coordinator for the group, told 11Alive news in Atlanta that they have learned new details about Millard’s disappearance.

The group releases surveillance images from the Courtyard by Marriott hotel where Millard was staying. The pictures were from last Wednesday afternoon before Millard left the hotel. He’s wearing blue jeans, a black shirt with a small logo on the left side and green ball cap with what appears to be an American flag on the front.

Harvey says that Millard took a Lyft from the LSU vs. Vanderbilt basketball game to Happy’s Irish Pub downtown Wednesday night. Millard’s wife previously said that he FaceTimed her from the game to show her his seats.

“The Lyft app shows that he was dropped off about 9:30 at Happy’s [Irish] Pub, and then the client told us that he left at about 11:30 and after that no one’s seen him since — it’s literally about a two-minute walk,” Harvey told 11Alive news. “His phone was found about four blocks, maybe, from the hotel, his wallet was then found, his ID was missing, debit card was missing.”

Millard and the client he was with were at Happy’s for close to two hours.

“The client says they had a beer, grabbed something to eat there, and then he was heading back to the hotel at 11:30,” Harvey said to 11Alive. “[His wife] said when she woke up and there was no text from him, you know a happy family man… just a heartbreaking situation, somebody at that time of night and where it was at — somebody saw something, and that’s what we’re hoping.”

Clues from the ATM?

Harvey says that there was a withdrawal made at an ATM after Millard left Happy’s. The ATM is reportedly close to where Millard’s phone was found days later.

There is surveillance video of a person withdrawing money from an ATM machine near the Greyhound bus station in downtown Baton Rouge. There were also “multiple smaller charges” at a Chevron in the “one-by-four block radius” between 1 and 2 a.m., Harvey said.

Sources tell UWK that a man using Millard’s ATM card was detained by Baton Rouge Police Tuesday, questioned and later released.

Searching for Millard

EquuSearch says volunteers will be in downtown Baton Rouge Thursday afternoon searching that four block radius hoping to uncover new clues in the case.

“At the beginning, it’s going to be a lot of recon, it’s going to be a lot of boots on the ground, you know trying to check every single place possible where there could be video surveillance — I’m sure they’re going to be looking in vacant buildings,” Harvey told 11Alive.

How do you know he had asked to be served alcohol at happys? The guy just said he was drunk. He may have been just drinking water to sober up. Willingly

Read the whole thread and was thinking the same. Happy’s just said he was only served water, not that he was refused alcohol.

Also, people keep saying it was suspect the client only waited an hour to call police. But that was because the missing man’s phone was picked up by the city worker. They then went to hotel to do a welfare check. After he wasn’t there the police were called.
This is all info I gathered from this thread.

That's what I'm saying

Using someone else's credit or debit card for ANY amount without their permission is felony fraud. You could also tack on identity theft if you wanted to.

The only new info seems to be the Lyft to Happys, that they got there at 9:30, and that those hotel pics were from before even the basketball game.

I have a few questions/complaints about the awful reporting coming out:

1) Why is nobody saying which bank the ATM withdrawal happend at? I can assume its the BankPlus on Florida due to the proximity of where the phone was found, but why not just get it out there?
2) There is no Chevron remotely close to the Greyhound station. I can assume they mean the Exxon, but that seems like an easy thing to clarify.
3) Was he with someone at the first ATM withdrawal, or alone? Key details just ignored.

For him to be released tells me that both Millard and this dude were together without any issues which gives credence to several posters saying he was buying drugs.

What do you guys make of it?

Yup so this must be BRPD sparing the family embarrassment I would imagine.

And if Happy's doesn't serve any food, how did they get something to eat at Happy's? This whole thing is just strange. BRPD not releasing much info is perplexing as well.

This is different from the original story we heard about the phone. I thought a city worker found it the next morning.

Nathan’s friend, Matt Still, who i believe It_dawg posted about earlier in the thread said that Josh (client) was staying at the same hotel as Nathan. They were both in town for the same project meeting but worked for different companies. Josh is from Tennessee.
