Nathan Millard, a father of five from Georgia, went missing during a business trip to Baton Rouge, Louisiana. His body was found rolled up in a carpet and wrapped in plastic in a vacant lot in Baton Rouge, about three miles from the Happy Irish Pub where he was last seen.
A passerby noticed a foul odour emanating from the lot and called 911, leading to the discovery of Millard’s body.
Tim Miller, founder of Texas EquuSearch, a nonprofit search-and-recovery organization, said that he flew to Baton Rouge to stake out a prospective job site for his Conyers-based company,
Advanced Construction, and went to the pub with a client at about 9:30 p.m. on Feb. 23. Sources told WBRZ that staff cut him off because he had too much to drink. He left alone to go back to his nearby hotel, the Courtyard Marriott, at around 11:30 p.m.
The client called the police and asked for a welfare check at 9 a.m. the next day when Millard failed to show up or respond to messages. Millard’s phone and wallet were later found on the ground several blocks away.
Police questioned a homeless person caught on video trying to use Millard’s credit card at a bus station in Baton Rouge, though that person was later released.
Millard’s wife, Amber, last spoke with her husband when he FaceTimed her to show her the seats he and the client secured for a Louisiana State University basketball game.
He was last seen in surveillance video at the pub after the game. The cause of death is unknown at this time, pending autopsy results, and police have stated that this is an ongoing investigation.
Millard leaves behind his wife, two teenage boys from a previous marriage, two teen stepsons, and a 7-year-old daughter.
His eldest son, Landyn Millard, said before the body was found, he wanted closure and to know what happened.
He expressed shock at the news and said that it was very hard to comprehend because it just didn’t seem like his father to disappear like that.
