🌱 Missing Woman Found Dead + Cleveland Hopkins $2 Billion Upgrade

Hello, everybody. It's me, Sean Peek, your host of the Cleveland Daily — here to tell you everything you need to know about what's happening in town.

But first, today's weather:

Cooler; a morning shower. High: 45 Low: 39.

Here are the top three stories today in Cleveland:

1. A missing 23-year-old Cleveland woman was found dead in Pennsylvania. Andrianna Kiri Taylor last spoke to her family on Oct. 8; police had not reported her missing until Nov. 13. She was found unresponsive in a backyard of a home in Wilkinsburg but was last living with her boyfriend in Cleveland. (FOX 8)
2. Cleveland Magazine released a list of 45 ways to embrace the winter weather with fun and adventure in northeast Ohio. The list is broken down into larger categories, including comfort foods and winter warmers, the great outdoors, holiday happenings, and much more. Events and adventures range from seeing the annual tree lighting ceremony to ice skating and tobogganing. (WKYC.com)
3. Cleveland Hopkins International Airport officials are preparing for a $2 billion terminal rebuild beginning in 2025. The project resulted from a study that concluded the airport is "old, cramped, and unorganized." The first phase of construction will include new concourses, centralized security checkpoints, a new ticketing area, and more, costing about $800 million. (Subscription: cleveland.com)
