Sheriff's investigators searching for missing Lockport lawyer
CAMBRIA — Niagara County Sheriff's Office investigators are seeking help from the public to locate a missing Lockport attorney. Sheriff Michael Filicetti confirmed Thursday that family members reported Scott Stopa missing earlier this week. They told police that Stopa, 46, has not been seen or heard from since Tuesday. 'Our family is extremely concerned for his safety and well-being,' Stopa's sister Jenny told the Gazette Thursday night. 'No one's heard from him and his phone is at his home.' Jenny Stopa-Ryan said friends and family spent much of the day Thursday looking for her brother. 'We have no idea where he might be. We've been looking everywhere,' his sister said. 'We searched near his home, his office, anywhere we could think of where he might be.' Stopa is a partner at Ben & Stopa Attorneys-at-Law on East Avenue in Lockport. He lives in the Town of Cambria. 'We just want him home safely,' Jenny said. Stopa's online profile indicates that his legal practice is 'family-law focused.' The profile says Stopa 'represents clients in divorce, custody, paternity, and guardianship proceedings.' He is also described as a 'court-certified' child guardian. Filicetti said members of his office's Criminal Investigation Bureau have been working on Stopa's disappearance since the missing person's report was first filed. The sheriff said help from the public may assist investigators. Stopa may be driving a black Jeep Compass with New York license plate LNN-1422. 'Every piece of information helps,' Filicetti said. 'We're asking anyone who may have information to contact our investigators at 716-438-3393.

Prominent Niagara County attorney missing, family pleading for help to find him
LOCKPORT, N.Y. (WIVB) — A Lockport family is pleading for help to find their loved one, a prominent Niagara County attorney who went missing earlier this week. Scott Stopa, 46, was last seen around 8:30 Tuesday morning. His loved ones have not heard from him since, and now police are investigating, hoping to find him and bring him home to his family who are devastated by his disappearance. 'Scott, we love you so much, please come home if you see this,' his sister, Jenny Ryan said, fighting back tears. 'We miss you, we love you, we're all here for you, and we want you to come home.' Ryan said that her brother said he was heading to work when he left Tuesday morning, but that's the last they've seen or heard from him. He was in the process of opening up his own law office at the Bewly Building in downtown Lockport, according to the family. 'Efforts have been made by multiple family members to reach him, unfortunately he doesn't have his phone on him,' Niagara County Sheriff Michael Filicetti said. 'So, they're very concerned because they haven't had contact with him for now going on three days, and they contacted us to assist them in locating him.' Stopa's family said that he had been dealing with personal issues, including depression. Filicetti said they believe he could still be in the area. 'We have some indications that he's still local based on our investigation, so again we're still trying to locate him,' Sheriff Filicetti said. 'We're using the usual techniques that we would normally do to try to find somebody. Through the use of technology we can indicate that his vehicle has been in the area the last couple of days. So, again, we're going to continue to stay local here for our purposes, for the investigation.' Stopa's family remains devastated by his disappearance and are praying that he comes home safely. They're urging anyone with any information on his whereabouts to come forward. 'We are devastated. We just want him home safely,' Ryan said. 'We miss him, we love him, and we just want him home safely. Please, please contact the Niagara County Sheriff's Department immediately – even if it's the smallest tip – no matter what, we need information as soon as possible.' Stopa was last seen driving a black 2014 Jeep Compass with New York registration – LNN1422. Anyone with any information on his whereabouts is urged to call the Niagara County Sheriff's Office at (716) 438-3394. Rob Petree is an anchor and reporter who joined the News 4 team in 2025.

Jeep unveils new hybrid Cherokee SUV, set to be released in 2025
Jeep has revealed the first details and image of its new Cherokee SUV, set to launch later this year as part of efforts to reverse declining sales. The new midsize SUV from the Stellantis-owned brand will include a hybrid powertrain option, though the company has yet to clarify whether this will be a traditional hybrid or a plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV). Jeep currently offers PHEV models in its SUV range. Bob Broderdorf, Jeep's CEO, said in a statement: "The all-new Jeep Cherokee headlines our efforts to deliver more product, innovation, choice and standard content to customers than ever before. Jeep Cherokee will boast competitive pricing that strikes at the core of the largest vehicle segment and sits perfectly between Jeep Compass and Jeep Grand Cherokee to bolster our winning mainstream lineup." View this post on Instagram A post shared by Jeep (@jeep) Affordability has posed a challenge for Jeep amid rising prices. The entry-level 2022 Cherokee model started at approximately $30,000, close to the current Jeep Compass price of around $27,000. The 2025 Grand Cherokee begins at roughly $36,500. Jeep has yet to disclose further details about the vehicle, including where it will be manufactured. Industry analysts and union officials anticipate production will take place at a plant in Mexico—a decision made before the election of President Donald Trump and the implementation of 25% tariffs on imported vehicles to the US. The previous generation Cherokee was produced at a facility in Illinois, which has been idled since early 2023 following discontinuation amid cost-cutting and production realignment. The cancellation of the Cherokee and the smaller Renegade SUV after the 2023 model year contributed to Jeep's ongoing sales decline. Jeep has faced six consecutive years of falling US sales, reporting a 10% decline in the first quarter of 2025. The Cherokee's launch is expected to be a key focus for incoming Stellantis CEO Antonio Filosa, who previously led Jeep's turnaround efforts before his promotion to oversee the company's Americas region.

Jeep Cherokee comeback confirmed, Australia to miss out
The Jeep Cherokee will return to US showrooms – but not Australian ones – after the brand confirmed production of a new generation will begin in late 2025. Jeep also confirmed the five-seat Cherokee SUV – a rival to the Toyota RAV4, Mazda CX-5 and Kia Sportage – will be offered with a hybrid powertrain for the first time. In a statement, Jeep said it will begin manufacturing the new Cherokee – one of its oldest nameplates – in late 2025 but didn't share any further details on the vehicle, such as specification or pricing. It did, however, release a couple of images and a short video showing the Cherokee is returning to a boxier silhouette – if one not quite as upright as the iconic XJ series that Jeep built from 1983 to 2001. "This is a historic year for the Jeep brand, with more product, innovation, choice and standard content for customers than ever before," said Jeep CEO Bob Broderdorf.

"The all-new Jeep Cherokee will boast competitive pricing that strikes at the core of the largest vehicle segment and sits perfectly between Jeep Compass and Jeep Grand Cherokee to bolster our winning mainstream lineup." Jeep Australia told CarExpert the new Cherokee isn't planned for Australian showrooms, after the local arm of Stellantis – owner of the Jeep brand – also ruled out the return of the larger Jeep Grand Cherokee. The Grand Cherokee was axed in March 2025 after a significant sales slump. It means Jeep will continue to lack a product in Australia's largest sales segment: the mid-size SUV segment. This accounted for almost a quarter of new car sales last year, with 287,637 of the total 1,237,287 total new vehicles sold. Instead, the Jeep Compass (below) – due in Australia in 2026 with electric and hybrid powertrain choices – will take up the role previously played by Cherokee in the local lineup. The previous generation KL Jeep Cherokee was sold in Australia between 2014 and 2022 with four- and six-cylinder petrol engines, before production ended globally in February 2023. With styling paying homage to the XJ Cherokee – sold in Australia between 1996 and 2001 – the new generation is expected to use the STLA Large modular platform. The STLA platform is designed for electrification and underpins the Jeep Wagoneer S and Recon electric SUVs both due in Australia in 2026. It means the Cherokee is set to be larger than before, with the platform enabling a length of up to 5126mm. For context, the KL Cherokee measured 4651mm long. It will likely be shorter, however, than the 4915mm-long two-row Grand Cherokee axed from the Australian lineup in March 2025. Jeep sales fell 9 per cent in the US in 2024 – and a staggering 48.7 per cent in Australia – while parent company Stellantis suffered a 15 per cent global sales decline and massive 70 per cent fall in profits year-on-year. The automaker is also working on a new electric Renegade – a small SUV last sold in Australia in 2020 – due in US showrooms in 2027. The current Renegade is Jeep's entry-level SUV in the US, where the pint-sized Jeep Avenger already in Europe and Australian showrooms isn't currently offered. The Avenger is offered here only with electric power, but mild-hybrid power is expected to be introduced Down Under.
