They are focused on a stretch of that river that is in the city of Monongahela under the city’s bridge and they are searching the river near a spot where twenty-six-year-old Shelby Rhodes was last seen, and near where his phone was found next to a canoe on the riverbank. Rhodes was last seen over a week ago. According to Monongahela City Fire Chief Aaron Leezer, Saturday was their second day of searching. The crews are currently focused underwater.
