DARYN KAGAN, CNN ANCHOR: Right now, we have some breaking news from our Susan Candiotti, on thee hunt for a man believed to have killed his own family in Oregon.
Susan, I believe you're in the Washington Bureau this morning?
SUSAN CANDIOTTI, CNN CORRESPONDENT: I am, Daryn. Good morning to you. We have this word now from the FBI -- FBI officials, law enforcement officials, telling us that Christian Longo, who is suspected and charged in the murder of his wife and three children, out of Portland, Oregon, will be added to the FBI's 10 Most Wanted List.
This will be announced at a news conference at 1:30 this afternoon Eastern time, at a news conference in Portland, Oregon, held by the FBI there. You will recall that Christian Longo, who again is charged in the murder of his wife and children, that his car was found just this past Sunday at the airport in San Francisco. That vehicle, an SUV, had been reported as stolen from a car dealership in the Portland area.
You will also remember that authorities discovered the bodies of Longo's wife and son in a bay in Newport, Oregon, back on December 27th, according to the FBI. And the bodies of his two other children were found in another bay in Wallport, Oregon on December 19th and the 22nd.
It is the hope of the FBI that by adding Longo's name to the 10 Most Wanted List, that it will spark the memories and encourage people who might possibly have information about his whereabouts to come forward. That by putting his photograph out there, again formally during the course of this news conference, that people will again be on the look out for him, so they can find this murder suspect.
It also carries with it a $50,000 reward for information leading to his arrest and conviction. Daryn?
KAGAN: Susan Candiotti in Washington, D.C. Thank you very much. Word that Christian Longo will be on the FBI's 10 Most Wanted List as of this afternoon. More on that just ahead.
