BATON ROUGE - A $10,000 reward is being offered for information leading to the recovery of a missing state artifact, the family of the man who donated the artifact to the State Capitol told WBRZ.

The artifact, an ancient cypress board, was last seen in former Louisiana House Speaker Clay Schexnayder's Gonzales legislative office. Schexnayder was charged with felony grand theft greater than $25,000 and malfeasance in office.
