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 – 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.
