Four days after he disappeared in New Orleans, the body of a Houston energy executive was pulled from the Mississippi River today. Douglas Schantz, 54, went missing after a night of drinking on Bourbon Street. Surveillance cameras captured footage of the president of Sequent Energy Management walking toward a docked sightseeing steamboat around 2:40am Friday, but he never reappeared. "We know he had been drinking and appeared disoriented," the police chief said today.
