Kerry Sanders and Tracy Connor of NBC News report that a credit card of missing Wall Street Journal reporter David Bird has been used in Mexico.
Sanders and Connor write, “An unexpected clue has emerged in the case of a Wall Street Journal energy reporter who went out for a walk five days ago and never returned: His credit card was used in Mexico on Wednesday night, a source close to his family told NBC News.
“Hundreds of people have been searching for David Bird since he vanished in New Jersey on Saturday after he stepped out of his house without his cellphone or the medicine he takes twice daily for his liver transplant.
“His family does not believe he simply wandered away and has suspected that his disappearance might be rooted in his work, which includes coverage of OPEC, a collection of oil-rich countries.
“Long Hill, N.J., Police Lt. Ahmed Naga said police were trying to confirm the lead.”
