Body found where Wall Street Journal reporter mysteriously vanished

The Morris County Prosecutor's Office said the unidentified body was retrieved on Wednesday from the Passaic River.

Denise Arseneault, deputy chief in the Morris County Prosecutor's Office, said Thursday morning that the body still hasn't been identified.

The family of David Bird was notified Wednesday night of the discovery, according to a family spokeswoman.

"Until there's any positive identification, until there's anything definitive, the family has no statement to make right now," family spokeswoman Carolyn Buscarino said.

Bird vanished on Jan. 11, 2014 after going on a walk in Millington, New Jersey. He left his home that day without his cell phone or the medication for a liver transplant that he needed to take twice a day.

Bird, a reporter of more than 20 years who most recently covered energy markets for the Wall Street Journal, was 55 at the time of his disappearance.

In June, Dow Jones & Co., the Wall Street Journal's publisher, put up a $10,000 reward for information leading to Bird's rescue. Dow Jones continued to pay Bird's salary until August of last year, when his status changed to unpaid leave of absence. The Wall Street Journal's union donated $10,000 to Bird's family in December.

Hours before the unidentified body was found on Wednesday, Bird's family unveiled a website, FindDavidBird.info.

The website provides details about Bird, as well as a map of the area where the family believes he went missing. It also includes a page where visitors can make a financial contribution to Bird's family.

In January, around the one-year anniversary of his disappearance, Bird's wife, Nancy Bird, said she still held out hope.

"Somebody must know something," she said. "I relive Jan. 11 every day. I'm hopeful that others, especially in this community, will also relive that day — that it'll jog their memories."
