David Bird, a 55-year-old energy reporter at the Wall Street
Journal, has been missing since Saturday afternoon the paper says.
Hundreds of volunteers, law enforcement officers and others
are searching for Bird. He was last seen leaving his home in Long Hill
Township, New Jersey. Bird’s wife Nancy said he left the house wearing a red
jacket but without taking his phone at 4:30 p.m. Saturday to go for a walk.
Nancy Bird said her husband had been recovering from a
gastrointestinal virus.
Wall Street Journal managing editor Gerard Baker issued the
following statement: “Mr. Bird is a longtime member of the Dow Jones newsroom.
Our thoughts are with his family and we are working with the Long Hill Township
Police Department as they continue their search.”
Bird is an “avid hiker, camper and scout troop leader,” per
the WSJ.
