Bird was last seen on January 11, 2014. His family had offered a $10,000 reward for any information about what may have happened to him or his whereabouts, but nothing ever came of their search.
"This is the first lead of any kind," a family spokesperson said today.
Many waterways merge in the area that the supposed body of David Bird has been found drowned in. But, still, the odds that, one full year later, his corpse would resurface there -- or be found at all -- is both forensically and statistically improbable.
Which, if it truly is the missing man himself, makes one wonder how long the deceased was actually in the water ... and who put him there?
