Rolando Schweikert, 29, went missing from his Metairie, Louisiana, home in the spring of 1991. He was last seen on Hearst Street on April 29, 1991; two days later his roommate Manuel Ortiz reported him missing to the Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Office. Schweikert is 5 feet 10 inches, about 170 pounds, with dark brown hair, brown eyes and a dental bridge on his four upper front teeth.

The investigation produced conflicting threads. A reported sighting the day he was reported missing placed him at a local bank in a dazed state. Years later Ortiz was convicted for the murders of two women; prosecutors raised Schweikert’s unresolved disappearance during Ortiz’s trial while the defense said the cases were unrelated. Separate unverified claims surfaced that Schweikert’s disappearance was staged as part of an alleged life insurance fraud and that he might be alive in Guatemala. He was declared legally dead in 1999; his family continues to seek answers.

If anyone knew Rolando, lived on Hearst Street in 1991, or has information about his movements after April 29, 1991, please share what is known.
