The body of the Georgia father of five who vanished last month while on a business trip in Baton Rouge was found in a vacant lot and reportedly rolled up in a carpet that was covered in plastic.
Nathan Millard, 42, was found dead around 3:34 a.m. on Monday in the 2900 block of Scenic Hwy, about three miles from the pub he was last seen at, according to the Baton Rouge Police Department.
Millard, who was in the area to scout out a job site for the construction company he worked for, was last seen around 11:30 pm on February 23 at Happy’s Irish Pub on Third Street in the downtown area.
His cause of death is unknown and will be determined by the East Baton Rouge Parish Coroner’s Office. Police said his death is under investigation.

Texas EquuSearch said Millard’s remains were discovered rolled up in carpet, covered in plastic after someone reported a foul smell in the vacant lot on Scenic Hwy
The vacant lot is behind the Rhodes United Fidelity Funeral Home
Texas EquuSearch, a nonprofit dedicated to help finding missing people, began their search last week and offered a reward of up to $10,000 for the location of Milliard.
A spokesperson for the organization told 11Alive that police got a call from a passerby who called to report a foul odor in the vacant lot.
Millard’s remains were discovered rolled up in carpet, covered in plastic, it was reported.
The father of five from Walton County, Georgia, had traveled to Baton Rouge for what was supposed to be a 24-hour business trip, his wife Amber had previously said.
But after a Louisiana State University basketball game and drinks at the pub with his work client, Millard never made it back to his hotel room a short walk away. The room was reportedly not disturbed and he hadn’t shown up to a scheduled meeting the next morning.
Surveillance footage was released last week that showed Millard leaving the hotel with his work client on the night he vanished. He is seen on the right in the ball cap and black t-shirt

Millard’s wife Amber previously told WSB TV that he had FaceTimed her that night from the LSU basketball game.
She said there was no text from him when she woke up the next morning, which was unusual for the family man.
Amber also said that police told her that they had surveillance video of a person withdrawing money from his debit card at the ATM near a Greyhound bus station.
Police said there is an ongoing investigation. No arrests have been made.
