“Iyer had been depressed and anxious recently, Iwaki said. He often goes for walks, but Iwaki became concerned when he didn’t return after about an hour.
Then, at about 1 a.m., she received an email from her husband addressed to their daughter, saying goodbye to the child.”
Update: DNAinfo reports that he has been found in good health, according to his wife.
He is a psychiatrist who works at Mt. Sinai Hospital.
Iyer was described as standing about 5-foot-9 and weighing 150 pounds, she added.
He was last seen wearing a black coat, blue jeans, a blue T-shirt and gray sneakers, according to a missing poster released by police.
