INVESTIGATORS ARE NOT 
COMMENTING, BUT LET ME BRING YOU
IN.
YOU ARE FOLLOWING THIS FOR US 
TODAY.
FIRST OF ALL, WHAT DO WE KNOW 
ABOUT DAVID BYRD AND WHAT IS HIS
FAMILY SAYING?
>> HIS FAMILY IS DESPERATE TO 
FIND HIM.
HIS DISAPPEARANCE MAKES NO SENSE
TO THEM.
FOR A 6th DAY, AUTHORITIES AND 
VOLUNTEERS IN THE SEARCH FOR A 
55-YEAR-OLD "WALL STREET 
JOURNAL" ENERGY REPORTER ARE 
COMBING THE AREA NEAR HIS NEW 
JERSEY HOME AND DOING A WATER 
SEARCH OF THE RIVER.
BYRD TAKES MEDICATION TWICE A 
DAY FOLLOWING A LIVER TRANSPLANT
NINE YEARS AGO AND HIS FAMILY IS
CONCERNED ABOUT HIS CONDITION 
WITHOUT THAT MEDICATION.
WHEN HE LEFT FOR A QUICK WALK ON
SATURDAY AFTERNOON, HE DIDN'T 
HAVE THE CELL PHONE WITH HIM AND
THEY EXPECTED HE WOULD BE RIGHT 
BACK.
>> AS WELL AS CAN BE EXPECTED 
UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES.
WE ARE STAYING HOPEFUL.
OBVIOUSLY IT'S TENSE AND 
STRESSFUL, BUT WE ARE DESPERATE 
TO FIND DAVID.
WE KEEP HOPING, BUT WE 
APPRECIATE GETTING THE WORD OUT 
TO ANYONE WITH INFORMATION.
WE ARE ALL HEARTBROKEN THAT THIS
IS GOING ON FOR SO LONG.
>> YOU CAN HEAR THE HEART BREAK 
IN HER VOICE.
THE "WALL STREET JOURNAL" 
RELEASED A STATEMENT FROM 
MANAGING EDITOR WHO WRITES 
MR. BIRD IS A LONG TIME MEMBER 
OF THE DOW JONES NEWSROOM.
OUR THOUGHTS ARE WITH HIS 
FAMILY.
HE IS A FATHER OF TWO, 
MARATHONER AND AVID BIKER.
HE WALKS AND TRAINS ON THE 
TRAILS NEAR THEIR HOME.
>> SHE AN ENERGY REPORTER FOR 
THE "WALL STREET JOURNAL."
ME ABOUT THE STORY HE WAS 
WORKING ON THAT COULD BE OF 
INTEREST TO POLICE.
>> BROOKE, AS AN ENERGY 
REPORTER, HE REPORTED ON OPEC, 
THE PETROLEUM EXPORTING 
COUNTRIES.
SOME REPORTED HIS FAMILY 
WONDERED IF HIS DISAPPEARANCE 
COULD BE CONNECTED TO THE WORK.
HIS SISTER IN LAW SAID THEY HAVE
NO IDEA WHAT COULD HAVE LED TO 
HIS DISAPPEARANCE.
