A missing Louisiana man was found beaten and wearing only his boxers and socks, 800 miles away in Texas and the police are asking the public on Monday to come forward if they have any information.
Wayne Williams, Jr., 34, from Gretna, La., called his wife, on Wednesday, June 13, around 11:30 a.m. and told her his car had broken down on Old Hammond Highway near Baton Rouge, La. She called a tow truck for him, but when they got there Wayne and his car were gone, reports NOLA.com.

Wayne’s father told WVUE News that his son told him he was robbed by two men who said they wanted to help him. They hit him over the head and put him into his own trunk.
Williams is a father of two who is called a great family man by his former neighbors in Gretna. He worked for the Gretna Police Department until 2007 and before that for the Jefferson Parish Sheriff’s Office. One of his recent jobs is at Protection One.
Wayne was released from the hospital on Thursday.
The FBI are looking into the case as a possible kidnapping.
