The president of a Houston energy company disappeared in New Orleans early Friday, according to police who are trying to get surveillance video from the Bourbon Street area where colleagues last saw him.
Douglas Schantz, 54, is president of Houston-based Sequent Energy Management, one of the largest wholesale gas marketers in the country.
Colleagues last saw Schantz wearing a blazer and tie between 1 a.m. and 2 a.m. Friday in a Bourbon Street bar, Assistant Police Superintendent Marlon Defillo said on Saturday.
His wife reported him missing after he failed to meet his daughter for a flight home later that morning. Schantz’s hotel key card had not been used since Thursday, and his bank and phone accounts were untouched, Defillo said.

Check the whorehouses!
I fear it may be something a bit more sinister than that....Let’s hope not..
Doesn't seem to fit.
His bank and credit accounts haven't been used.
Of course he could have been relying on cash. If he was carrying a bunch of cash, then we pretty much know what happened to him.
Looks like New Orleans has finally returned to normal after Katrina. Not really sure why the death of a tourist there should be news.
'Course I was MUCH younger when I didn't believe alcohol was poison.
Now? .... Everything (unimportant ... ;^).. ) swells and takes a day to return to normal.
Check the garbage trucks before they get to the barge!
The French Quarter at 2 AM is no place to be alone.
“The French Quarter at 2 AM is no place to be alone.”
That’s what I was thinking, as well.
2 AM is no time to be out in public alone, anywhere, these days.
the French Quarter is very near a tough part of town...lived there and moved!!!!
Yep....
I would expect him to be found dead after trying to buy drugs in a part of the city he shouldn’t have been in. This is the usual scenario based on my experience.
I’m guessing he met a woman who lured him back to her place where he was robbed and murdered. If it was a simple street mugging/murder, they would have found his body by now. I doubt he’s still alive, otherwise his captors would have forced him to use his ATM card.
your obviously know nothing about NOLA...
they don’t kill tourist, they kill each other...
someone watches too much CSI...
No, too much Sherlock Holmes. Elementary, TV Dinners. Elementary.
yup, and that was BEFORE Katrina...
Such is life in The Chocolate City!
TV Dinners you think that does not happen? It does. A few years ago in Indianapolis a FedEx employee went home with a stripper and was kidnapped killed by her and the boyfriend.
