La'Ron Harris
Missing Akron man's cell phone pinged in Cleveland, Rocky River
He drove his car into Cuyahoga River last Sunday
Akron, Ohio -
Akron police are searching for a man who has been missing for more than two days after he crashed his car into the Cuyahoga River.
Family and friends of La'Ron Harris, 27, have been searching the river in the Merriman Valley alongside Akron firefighters and police for two days. Some said they believe Harris is dead.
Akron police said they still classified Harris as a missing person since he has not been found. Family members told investigators it would very unusual for Harris to go more than two days without contacting anyone.
"I just can't give up on him," his live-in girlfriend Teylor Nurse said while searching on the banks of the river. "I told him I would have his back through everything. I know he'd be doing the same for me."
Harris about 2:30 a.m. Sunday was at the Lazy Gator bar in the Merriman Valley's bar complex. A friend, 25-year-old Kaila Watkins, asked him for a ride home, according to police.
The two got in the car and Harris drove out of the parking lot onto Weathervane Lane. Instead of going with the curve in Weathervane Lane towards Merriman Road, Harris drove into an apartment complex driveway and crashed through a wooden barrier.
The car plummeted into the Cuyahoga River and sunk. Watkins told police they both escaped the car. She swam against the current to the riverbank and was unharmed.
Akron Police said they searched the river banks, but had no updates as of Monday, eight days after La'Ron was last seen.
Akron Fire has jurisdiction over the water, and searched the river last Sunday and last Monday and found no signs of Harris.
"We can't eat, can't sleep, can't do nothing," said Justen Harris, La'Ron's younger brother. Family and friends have searched the river banks day and night, but turned up nothing.
Then, they hired a private investigator out of Youngstown.
That private investigator tracked La'Ron's phone and found it pinging in two spots -- stationary on W. 11th St. in Cleveland's Tremont neighborhood and moving on Old Detroit Rd. in Rocky River.
The ping means the cell phone hit cell phone towers within a four-mile radius.
