Investigators have found no trace of a Wall Street Journal reporter who went missing in January, and a $10,000 reward is now being offered for information leading to his location.
Jennifer Maloney of The Journal writes, “David Bird was last seen leaving his home for a short walk on Jan. 11 in the Millington section of Long Hill Township, N.J. Officials conducted a ground, water and air search involving hundreds of volunteers, and then turned to other investigative methods, combing through Mr. Bird’s financial records, cellphone records and emails, said Long Hill Township Police Chief Michael Mazzeo.

“Mr. Bird’s wife, Nancy Bird, described the reward as ‘really kind of our last tool.'”
