    Police in Belleville, Ont., are asking for the public's help in their search for a missing journalist.
     
    Steve Pettibone was last seen at 7:30 a.m. on Monday when he left his home in Belleville to go to work at the Brockville Recorder and Times, where he is the sports editor.
     
    His colleagues say he never arrived.
