Charles Maus, 47, of Waggaman, Louisiana, was last seen Sunday, May 21, 2006, in the vicinity of River Road beside the Mississippi River. He is described as a white male, 6 feet tall, about 220 pounds, with gray or partly gray hair, green or possibly blue eyes, and a scar on his back. He was last seen wearing a silver or gray polo-style shirt, tan cargo shorts, and sandals.

Shortly after his disappearance some of his personal effects and clothing were found collected on the bank of the Mississippi River. Those items and the river’s powerful currents led investigators to consider that he may have entered the water, but there were no witnesses to such an event and no body has been recovered. The Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Office lists the investigation under case E-22460-06 and the case remains open.

If anyone saw Charles on May 21, 2006, or has information about his whereabouts or the items found on the riverbank, please contact the Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Office.
