FORT PIERCE — Bound together in sorrow, loss and unanswered questions, the families of missing Treasure Coast people stood united Thursday to raise awareness about their loved ones’ unsolved cases.

The gathering just outside the Fort Pierce City Marina was part of the Cue Center for Missing Persons’ eighth annual “On the Road to Remembrance” tour, which aims to raise awareness and breathe new life into cold cases.

CUE founder Monica Caison of North Carolina said the 20-stop tour, which began Oct. 21, covers more than 4,000 miles and spans nine states. This year, the tour features 108 cases, eight of which are unsolved homicides.

Donajean Kapp of Jasperhas never given up hope that her missing sister’s case will one day be solved. Kapp’s sister, Dori Ann Myers, then 43, went missing one night in January 2006 and her Lakewood Park home was set on fire. Her torched car was found hours later in Moore Haven. Authorities believe she met two men who claimed to be in the military, the night she disappeared, Kapp said.

“Somebody, somewhere, knows something,” said Kapp who bore a shirt with her sister’s image. “We need to know what happened. For our hearts and well-being, we need to find out.”

Fraternal twins Randi and Loretta Borrack of Jensen Beach attended the rally to spread the word about their father’s July 2010 disappearance. Richard Borrack, who had short-term memory loss, disappeared from Emeritus Assisted Living Facility in Jensen Beach. The then 77-year-old’s GPS ankle monitoring device was found on the facility’s grounds.

“Sometimes I’ll walk by a man who looks like him and just ask for a hug,” said Loretta Borrack, who passed out fliers with information about her father.

Port St. Lucie resident Teresa Halliday helped organize the event. Halliday’s husband, Nick, went missing in January 2010. His body was found two months later. Halliday said Nick suffered from lupus and took medication that made him disoriented. Nick’s cause of death was hypothermia.

Fort Pierce resident Tony DiFrancesco said his brother, Patrick DiFrancesco has been missing since 1985. According to an article published by Scripps Treasure Coast Newspapers, Patrick was involved in the drug trade and is thought to have been picking up a shipment in a plane the night of Aug. 26, 1985. The then 24-year-old was last seen at a home on Sunrise Drive in Fort Pierce.

DiFrancesco is offering a $100,000 reward for information.
