A 55-year-old Wall Street Journal reporter went missing in New Jersey on Saturday, and sources tell NBC News that his credit card was used in Mexico on Wednesday night.

Bird's family thinks his disappearance may be tied to his reporting on the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries, or OPEC, according to NBC.
...
Bird and his wife have two children, ages 12 and 15, according to the Wall Street Journal. He also took medication twice a day because he was the recipient of a liver transplant, and he left home without it. Bird could become sick without the medication.

“There are a lot of rumors going around,” said Carolyn Buscarino, a family friend for 10 years. “It’s like he vanished.”

Long Hill Township Police Chief Michael Mazzeo, who is leading the investigation, said he hasn’t heard anything about a credit-card purchase. “The most disturbing thing with this whole story is we don’t have anything,” Mazzeo said. “We have nothing.”

The FBI has joined the hunt, assisting local police in a support role.

Bird has worked for Dow Jones for more than 20 years. He did a stint in London for Dow Jones in the 1980s and also has worked for The Associated Press and the Trenton Times, his wife said.
