So concerning. It was reported he was with his family, driving from OKC home to FL when he began to view unwell so they checked into a hotel. After he went missing his personal belongings were still in the car. Florida man missing from downtown Baton Rouge after checking into hotel with family, police say

There is nothing in the local media on this beyond the original news articles yesterday.

This is local to me. BR is still on high alert due to the Nathan Millard case. I honestly only think this story made the news due to the similarity of someone from out of town missing again.

Does anyone know which hotel garage he parked the van in downtown? I’m local. Many are very close to the river levy. Not a long walk at all, so his wife wouldn’t have found his absence suspicious before it was too late

But some are a bit further. Of course he didn’t have his phone, so it’s not like she could have called him to stop him either way (if he did indeed choose to jump off the levy).

I am only SPECULATING/BRAINSTORMING because one of the local articles says they MAY have stopped for mental health reasons?? And I found it odd that the police didn’t make more of a fuss about him missing. You how they do when they almost know there’s no foul play…
& the article on the recovery of the body says no signs of foul play

MODS, please delete if I’m out of line. I don’t want to start rumors. I’m just brainstorming.
