Giang Thai Than Phan (33) is missing from Hammond, LA in 2011 supposedly on his way to Golden Meadow, LA area. He planned to stop in NO to conduct business and a text from his phone claimed he had made it to NO but Giang was never heard from again. He's two years younger than JD's estimated age of 35-50 and is 5'6" tall. He was toting around an iPhone, laptop, and jewelry which could have made him a target for a murdering thief, imo. That's one theory I have along with the one that puts him having met with foul play at the hands of a "business partner".
