Barry Cowsill of the singing Cowsill family band that inspired The Partridge Family TV show has been reported missing by his family.

Bob Cowsill told Entertainment Tonight the siblings believe they saw their 51-year-old brother in a CNN video of Hurricane Katrina survivors at the New Orleans Convention Center. But they have not been able to locate him and have turned to the public for help.

We're pretty sure that's him, and if it was him, it meant he was at the convention center, Bob Cowsill said.

He said the last they heard from Barry was a message on his sister's answering machine that said: I don't know how to get out of town except wait for a bus ... I've been so ... lonely ... I hope I get in touch with you.

Barry had battled substance abuse and depression and was supposed to have been headed to Los Angeles to enter a treatment center, his brother said.
