Missing Bryce Borca: Updates and Community Support Two Years On

Two years have passed since the disappearance of Bryce Borca in Eagan. Since October 30, 2022, families of lost loved ones and local communities have been steadfast in their search and support efforts. As the Borca family emphasizes through their statement, the grief persists and is an ever-present force in their lives.

Parent’s Statement: Struggling with Unending Grief

Bryce Borca’s parents, Troy and Carina, shared a candid statement on the anniversary of Bryce’s disappearance. They acknowledged that their grief, though quieter and slightly private, remains constant and “less jagged.” Troy and Carina shared that life around this grief continues to deconstruct and rebuild, forcing them to learn to coexist with it. This reality underscores their acceptance of the situation as "’God’s plan’."

Last Known Location

The last known location of Bryce Borca was Fort Snelling State Park in Eagan. After a night out with friends on a party bus, Bryce took a ride-share back home. He intended to walk the approximately two miles from the park to his residence at the 3400 block of Promenade Avenue. Despite phone app location data and multiple unsuccessful attempts to contact him, Bryce’s whereabouts remain unknown.

Ongoing Search Efforts

Numerous search efforts have been initiated in Bryce Borca’s case. These efforts include thorough ground searches with canines, water searches with divers and cameras, and extensive exploration into marshy terrains. The Borca family graciously acknowledged the tireless contributions of Eagan Police and professional search teams that continue their efforts to uncover answers despite the challenging nature of the search areas. The Eagan Police Sgt. Rich Evans confirms that no further search plans are currently scheduled, thereby urging anyone with information to contact the police department.

Bryce Borca’s Last Contact with Friends

On October 30, 2022, Bryce Borca contacted his friends using FaceTime at 2:34 a.m. According to the friends, Bryce shared his anxiety regarding his phone’s dying battery and his loss of orientation. The phone reportedly figured out to be in a densely wooded area, opposite to his household direction. The lack of contact thereafter led to a widespread community search.

The Founding of Bryce’s Blessings

The Borca family’s resilience led them to establish Bryce’s Blessings, a non-profit organization. This initiative honoring their son provides support to other families facing the trauma of child loss. The family expressed that time flies by quickly and that the love for Bryce remains everlasting until they meet again. The commencement of Bryce’s Blessings has significantly helped hundreds of families, allowing them to reconnect and receive emotional support during their grieving process.
