Poul Hansen, 44, was a Danish veteran of the Royal Danish Army and Royal Danish Air Force who toured the United States with about 15 fellow veterans by motorcycle. The group arrived in New Orleans and checked into a Super 8 motel on Chef Menteur Highway. He was last seen by his friends the night of Friday, May 17, 2019; when he did not appear the next morning, they raised the alarm.

On the morning of Saturday, May 18, 2019, Hansen’s body was found in the 4200 block of America Street, a short distance from the motel. He had been shot in the head; his wallet and phone were missing, and police said robbery appeared to be the motive. The New Orleans Police Department opened a homicide investigation and identified 36-year-old Brandy Myles as a suspect. Myles was already in custody in Jefferson Parish on unrelated charges when a warrant for second-degree murder was issued and she was re-booked on the new charge.

The killing devastated Hansen’s wife and two teenage children and reverberated in Denmark. Does anyone have information about Hansen’s final movements in New Orleans or who he might have been with the night of May 17?
