CDC 'not giving up hope' that missing scientist will be found

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said it is still holding out hope that a scientist who has gone missing will be found as the police investigation over the mysterious case extended into its fourth week.

“Today marks one month since Commander Timothy Cunningham was last seen, and we have not given up hope that he will soon be found,” Acting CDC Director Anne Schuchat said in a statement. “If Tim reads this message, we hope you come home soon. If anyone reading this has information about the whereabouts of Commander Cunningham, please come forward.”
