Chilling footage has emerged of a missing dad on the night he vanished before his body was found wrapped in carpet outside a garage.
Nathan Millard, 42, from Georgia, US, was reported missing on February 23 while on a 24-hour business trip to Baton Rouge, Louisiana after drinking with a client at a nearby Irish pub.
The dad, who attended a Louisiana State University basketball game, had some drinks with his colleagues before leaving the pub at around 11.30pm.
In the footage released by police, Mr Millard appears to be walking normally alongside a man and does not appear to be in any danger.
The client thought Mr Millard went back to his hotel room which was just a few minutes away but he never returned.
His hotel room was not opened and he hadn't turned up for a scheduled meeting the next day.
Mr Millard's body was found three miles away and a man named Kieran said he was driving in and could smell a "stench" which led him to the 2900 block of Scenic Hwy at around 3.34am.
He said: "'It smelled like something was bad or something was rotting. At first, I thought it was a dead animal, but I didn’t see anything."
Kieran, who was driving north of Baton Rouge, decided to investigate the smell and got out of his car to see where the strange stench was coming from.
He came across an abandoned garage and got out his flashlight to see if there was anything causing the smell.
Kieran thought the smell was some mouldy food until he discovered a carpet - with a foot sticking out of it.
He revealed: "'At first I thought it was someone throwing out food, and then I saw the feet. That’s when I got really scared and my stomach was just turning in knots."
Nathan's body was found wrapped up in a carpet, covered in plastic - which left Kieran terrified.
He added: "I was really terrified because I’ve never, ever seen or found a deceased person."
The body was identified using Nathan's fingertips after his body was left to decompose.
Texas EquuSearch, a non-profit organisation set-up to help missing people, offered a $10,000 (£6,000) reward for any information on the missing dad.
Police, who are investigating the death, said in a statement: "This is an ongoing investigation. Additional information will be released as it becomes available."
No arrests have been made.
