May 7, 2004 5:27 pm US/Eastern PHILADELPHIA (KYW 1060) Among those missing in Iraq is a West Chester, Pa. man who went there on his own in March to inspect damaged radio towers.
Now, his parents, who haven't heard from him in a month are worried, and aren't getting a lot of help in their quest to track him down.
26-year-old Nick Berg didn't sign a privacy waiver when he went over there.
And even though the State Department is using its one person in Iraq to help track him down, they can't tell anyone, including Berg's parents what's going on.
And that frustrates his mother Susanne.
"I'm just really scared, because we haven't heard from him for a month, and truthfully, nobody can even tell us whether he's dead or alive."
The local congressional delegation hasn't gotten any answers, either.
Nick last checked in April 9th, saying he was trying to find a safe way home following two weeks of FBI interrogation, after an arrest in Mosul.
He was released after his identity and intentions were confirmed.
