Cleveland Headlines, Tuesday, October 6, 2026

Now we cannot, we cannot connect this next story to what we just reported.

But there is a desperate search for a Steelers fan who vanished after last week's game.

Dan DeRose now has been working this this afternoon looking for answers.

So is the missing man's family.

Dan, what have you learned so far?

And we do have to treat this as two different stories.

The body that was pulled from the river today and then the second story.

This is Phoenix Phillips, 24 years old.

He and another man were in from out of town for the Cleveland, the Browns game and the Steelers game Thursday night.

Police have only told us at this point that they are concerned about the circumstances in which he has disappeared.

He was last seen very early Friday morning, and I want to show you exactly from where he was last seen, because I think that will.

sort of tell us a little bit about what we're dealing with here, because obviously here is the stadium.

The flats is really where we're talking about.

He was obviously at the game with a friend.

The body that was found today was pulled right around here.

This is very near Collision Bend Brewery.

This is the east bank of the flats.

Here's the bigger addition to the east bank of the flats.

It's this intersection right here.

Right at the bottom of the hill, you come down this hill, you can see the federal building is right there.

This is the last time he is seen at 6 a.m. Friday morning.

So whether he stayed up all night, whether they partied, we don't have any of those details.

In fact, I was supposed to sit down and have an interview with the PIO, the public information officer with the Cleveland Police Department at 1.30 a.m. That body was found at one, so that canceled that interview.

We put that on pause until we get more information.

And in fact, Lieutenant Diaz held a news conference shortly after that body was recovered, and he was asked, do we know, is this Phoenix Phillips? He said they're going to have to wait for the medical examiner.
