Body found in Columbia River believed to be missing Vancouver teen
PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) — Police say the dead body found in the Columbia River on Friday night is believed to be the missing teen who disappeared one week earlier.
Franky Fred, 18, was last seen by friends at Vancouver Lake near the Columbia River on May 23. He was wearing black Nike shoes, black pants, and a white hoodie 'with Hawaiian flowers' when he went missing, and some of his personal items were left at the beach near the Columbia River, according to police.
The body was found around 5:30 p.m. by multiple people swimming near a beach in the area of the 6300 block of NW Lower River Road.
Fred's family has been notified. The Clark County Medical Examiner will positively confirm the identity at a later date.

Sunday forecast: Hazy sunshine, warming in Chicagoland ahead of high heat and humidity to start upcoming week
Weather Maps Interactive Radar Climate & Environment It was a chilly start as June began for some areas in Chicagoland, with temperatures as low as the upper 30s during Sunday's sunrise. But that's changing quickly. We're set for plenty of sun Sunday, though it could be hazy due to the Canadian wildfire smoke that's being blown into our area by northerly winds. Those winds will gradually shift to southeast, however, so temps will rise to the low 70s inland by Sunday afternoon, though it'll be closer to the mid-60s at the lakefront. By Monday, winds will be out of the southwest and gusty, which will send temps into the mid-80s. Some areas of Chicagoland could then see temps close to 90 for what's expected to be a hot, humid Tuesday (see more below). There was no Air Quality Alert issued for the Chicagoland area as of late Sunday morning, which is good news, though skies could continue to be a bit hazy at times due to the Canadian wildfire smoke that's been directed into the Chicago area since about Friday. The NOAA-GOES-19 satellite image depicts the area of smoke in the lighter gray shading which nearly encompassed all of Minnesota and Iowa on Friday. Dozens of large, out-of-control wildfires continue burning across Canada. They're depicted on the map below, as of Friday. Weather Maps Climate & Environment Interactive Radar Weather Bug Cameras 7-Day Outlook Weather Center Newsletter The extended outlook calls for south/southwest winds to drive our temps to near 90 on a muggy Tuesday, with possible late-afternoon and evening showers or thunderstorms. Wednesday then looks pretty soggy, with highs in the mid- to upper 60s and a chance of isolated thunderstorms. We dry out on Thursday and should see temps in the seasonal 70s by the afternoon. We had a cool start to the weekend across the Chicago area, but it won't last long as temps rebound quickly by later Sunday, with a return to summerlike warmth early next week. Dry weather takes hold for several days before the next chance of showers and thunderstorms arrives late Tuesday into Wednesday as a cold front slides through the area. The image below tracks the arrival of several weather systems and multiple chances for rain during the upcoming week. Some beneficial rainfall is possible for the Chicago area, with even heavier totals forecast across the south Central Plains. A large portion of the Chicago metro area now sits in 'moderate drought' conditions. The area of moderate drought statewide grew from just over 17% a week ago to nearly 23% in the latest outlook. May 2025 was quite dry for much of the state. Many areas saw less than half of their normal rainfall, with 2-4-inch deficits for the month pretty common.
