Alright, lets find this guy. The reward is split in half, with $5,000 from Crimestoppers of New Orleans and the other $5,000 coming from Sequent Energy Management. As this thing drags out, I am sure we will see this reward get bigger.
It also sounds like police suspect foul play, and it will be interesting what other information comes out of any future investigations. So for you guys that live in New Orleans, or in the south in general, this would be a good one to go after. Good luck and happy hunting. -Matt

Houston Energy Executive Missing in New Orleans
08 Mar 2010
CHRIS STIPES
HOUSTON – Michael Schantz is hitting the streets of New Orleans to find his father.
Katy resident Doug Schantz, 54, disappeared Friday morning at approximately 2 a.m. after leaving a Bourbon Street bar. His credit cards and ATM card have not been used which is making New Orleans police suspect foul play.
“I’m just, you know, still in a little bit of shock. I just want to reach out, you know, to the city of New Orleans, the City of Houston, just please, help me find my father,” said Michael Schantz.Doug Schantz is the president of Sequent Energy Management in downtown Houston. He was visiting New Orleans with several employees to make a donation to his daughter’s university, Tulane.
But Schantz never showed up for the flight home.
“We want to find Doug. Doug is a dear friend to all of us. He’s built the company from nothing to 150 people. He is a true leader, a true friend,” said Sequent Energy Management employee Peter Tumminello.Co-workers and friends of the married father of three gathered in Katy on Sunday at the family’s upscale home to hope and pray for a safe return.
This is a weird show. There is very real crime and law enforcement going on, but then you add this weird Hollywood Steven Seagal celebrity stuff, and you just kind of shake your head. But I guess it is a big enough hit to where they want this show overseas. Now imagine if Chuck Norris did a ride along, or Steven either shot someone or got shot in a scene? I wonder if Steven will do those stunts and if real blood will be involved. Reality TV?…….yikes.
The other funny deal with this, is the guy is from Michigan, and yet he turns on this cajun/Louisiana accent in prime Hollywood fashion, at just the right moments. Or when he is trying to get all Zen-like with everyone, I imagine the guys he is with are just rolling their eyes. lol -Matt

Steven Seagal and ‘Lawman’ are good for Jefferson Parish, Sheriff Newell Normand says
By Dave Walker, The Times-Picayune

The Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Office has gone global thanks to the recent international roll-out of “Steven Seagal Lawman.”
courtesy of A&EThe star of the A&E reality show “Steven Seagal: Lawman,” in a scene for the series’ first episode.
Now airing in the UK, Israel, France, Turkey, Australia, Southeast Asia, Russia, Estonia, Lithuania, Bulgaria, Finland, Sweden, Hungary, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, Slovenia and soon to launch in Latin America, the series, which places action-adventure film star Steven Seagal and the A&E network’s reality-TV cameras on patrol with the JPSO, has resulted in “hundreds upon hundreds” of comments to Sheriff Newell Normand.
Coming from “law enforcement, county officials as well as individual citizens,” most are “overwhelmingly positive,” Normand said last week.
So signing on for another batch of episodes — the first season of which concluded Feb. 3 in the U.S. — was an easy call.
The A&E cable network, in conjunction with the production entities ITV Studios and Steamroller Prods., announced last week that shooting has begun for at least 16 more episodes, airdates undecided.
I got this from Jeff, so thanks. -Head Jundi
