Phan told his friend and his business partner staying in Golden Meadow that he had other matters to handle in New Orleans.

Chiasson said he was not traveling to New Orleans to sell herbal supplements and is not sure if the trip or activities in the city resulted in his disappearance.

“We don't have enough information to rule anything out,” Chiasson said. “Neither (his business partner nor his friend) know what business that is.”
