Police in New Orleans, Louisiana are searching for a Jackson Township man who was reported missing earlier this week and hasn't been seen since the beginning of the month.
Michael Gelfand, 33, was reported missing on Tuesday after unsuccessful attempts by family to reach him.

Gelfand was last reportedly seen wearing blue jeans, white sneakers, a white t-shirt, black hoodie and a black baseball cap as well, according to the Lakewood Scoop.
