UPDATE: 2 young men charged with filing false report in Ilion kidnapping investigation
*UPDATE: The Ilion Police Department has posted on Facebook that two young adults surrendered to police on May 23, admitting they were joking when they screamed for help and they had to "stop several times because their throats hurt too much from yelling." The two men are Adrian M. Vandeusen, of Rome and Bryan R. Patrick, of West Winfield, both 19. They were charged on May 23 with third-degree falsely reporting an incident, a misdemeanor. Both were released on appearance tickets. The Ilion Police Department has obtained video of a possible kidnapping and is asking the public for help. In a statement released May 22, the village of Ilion Police Department said on May 21, a motor vehicle was traveling east on Highland Avenue in Ilion in the early morning. The IPD has since posted the video on its Facebook page. In the video, a four-door sedan of unknown make and model can be seen turning onto Arlington Avenue, traveling south, and passing by the video camera. Shortly after it exits the frame, screaming could be heard. Police say they have additional footage and a witness to the vehicle traveling and the screaming. An approximate timeline has been established: 12:45 a.m. — The vehicle turned from East Main Street onto Orchard Street 12:46 a.m. — The vehicle traveled south up Orchard Street Hill to the stop sign at Spring Street 12:47 a.m. — The vehicle turned onto Spring Street, traveling westbound. 12:47 a.m. — The vehicle turned left onto Arlington Avenue, traveling southbound. The screaming begins after the vehicle passes the security camera. 12:48 a.m. — The vehicle traveled east on Highland Avenue, where the screaming continued. 12:49 a.m. — The vehicle turned right onto Park Street, traveling southbound out of view. Police said prior to reaching the intersection of Arlington Avenue and Highland Avenue, no screaming or other alarming behavior was observed.

Known for ‘Baron Daemon' and ‘Good News,' local TV icon Mike Price dies at age 87
SYRACUSE, N.Y. (WSYR-TV) — Mike Price, an icon of Central New York broadcasting, has died at the age of 87. Price retired from NewsChannel 9 on July 9, 2008, after a 46-year career at WNYS-TV/WIXT-TV/WSYR-TV. Mike Price joined Syracuse's 'Colorful Channel 9,' then WNYS-TV, as a staff announcer on September 2, 1962, a week before the station signed on for the first time. Only a few months into his tenure, he debuted the character of Baron Daemon, which would define him for the rest of his life. The bumbling vampire launched as host of late-night movies on the weekends, but parents complained their children wouldn't go to bed for fear of missing the fun. The station quickly added an afternoon kids show, 'The Baron and his Buddies.' 'Baron and His Buddies' was a cartoon show on weekday afternoons that aired from 1962 until 1967. His buddies included a live studio audience of children, totaling thousands over the years, many of whom remember the experience as adults. In the later decades of his career, Price brought the 'good news' to Central New York. His segment closed NewsChannel 9 broadcasts for years, focusing on the light-hearted, happy stories around the community, often with visits to local schools. On the occasion of his retirement in 2008, Price said, 'I think I've contributed something to our community… I feel pretty good about that. It makes me feel great and it's very gratifying when people will come up to me almost every day and say, 'Oh, we love what you do!'' 'Mike's been a friendly face as long as most of us can remember,' said NewsChannel 9's Tim Fox when Price left the station. 'He is one of Central New York's busiest volunteers, emcees, public speakers. He's worked telethons, parades and of course, the Great New York State Fair and he's done it all with a smile.' In 1991, in his mid-50s, Price was called up to active duty to serve in the Gulf War. Price had served in the Coast Guard Reserves for 30 years, retiring as a chief petty officer. After his deployment, Price produced an award-winning documentary called 'Into the Gulf.' Mike grew up in Syracuse and Utica, attended Syracuse University and the Academy of Broadcasting Arts in New York City. He spent a season playing freshman football for SU, scrimmaging Ernie Davis and the '59 National Championship. After school, Mike launched his broadcast career at WSOQ Radio in North Syracuse. He's received the Syracuse Press Club's highest honors, including a plaque on the SPC Wall of Distinction displayed at the Onondaga County Civic Center. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
