Body of Missing WSJ
Reporter Found in New Jersey River
by Warner Todd Huston20 Mar 2015Long Hill Township, NJ
The body of a Wall Street
Journal reporter who has been
missing for 14 months was found this week frozen in a New
Jersey river, authorities report.
David Bird, 55, a reporter for the Journal for over
20 years, was reported missing on January 11, 2014. Relatives say the writer
went for a walk near his Long Hill Township, N.J. home and disappeared.
A large scale search, including tracking dogs, was performed
immediately after the writer went missing, but the search failed to turn up any
trace of the missing man.
Not long after Bird disappeared the family thought they had
a clue as to what happened to him when a fraudulent credit card
purchase was made in Mexico. But authorities later said that the credit card number had only been hacked and it wasn’t likely
that the card was actually in Mexico.
Still, since the early days of the missing person’s case, no
evidence at all emerged until this week when some boaters spied a winter coat
hung up on some debris in the Passaic River. The authorities were immediately
called to investigate.
Police now report that the body has been identified
through dental records as that of the missing journalist.
“The Bird family would like to thank the many members of law
enforcement, especially Chief Michael Mazzeo and the Long Hill Township Police
Department, for their tireless efforts to find David,” family spokeswoman
Carolyn Buscarino said in a statement. “They would also like to thank the
countless friends, neighbors and strangers who have prayed for David and for
the family over the past 14 months.”
