Wei Xiao, a 35-year-old deck-hand on the Chinese cargo vessel Fortune Harmony, was last seen on the ship’s deck around 6:30 p.m. on November 24, 2017, while the vessel was docked at the CHS terminal in Myrtle Grove in Plaquemines Parish, Louisiana. His absence was noticed later and a search of the ship turned up no sign of him. The Plaquemines Parish Sheriff’s Office opened a missing person investigation on November 25, 2017, under case number 17-11740.

Mr. Xiao is described as an Asian male with black hair and brown eyes, five feet seven inches tall and about 165 pounds. As a foreign national working on a transient vessel, he had limited local ties, which investigators said complicated efforts to develop leads. There have been few public updates since the initial investigation and no confirmed sightings or discoveries have been reported.

Does anyone have information about Wei Xiao’s movements or contacts in the Myrtle Grove or Venice area around November 24, 2017?
