Woman missing after house fire

Posted: January 11, 2006

By Allyson Bird

Palm Beach Post Staff Writer

A woman is missing, her house burned and her car damaged and recovered in another county.

The St. Lucie County Sheriff's Office is trying to find Dori Ann Myers, 43, of Fort Pierce.

Fire Chief Buddy Emerson said firefighters responded to a fire at Myers' home at 8401 Salerno Road just after 3 a.m. Wednesday. About 30 percent of the home had fire damage, and the rest was damaged by smoke, he said.

The fire appears to be arson, Emerson said, as it has multiple points of origin and is suspected to have been started with a flammable liquid.

Emerson said witnesses reported seeing Myers' car leaving the house around the time the fire started.

The car, a 1998 black Toyota four-door, was found in Glades County at a public boat ramp, St. Lucie County Sheriff's Office officials said. Emerson said the car, found at 5 a.m., was also burned.

A dog died in the house fire, which Emerson called "a little bit of a mystery." He said the investigation will determine whether Myers had anything to do with the fire.

St. Lucie County Sheriff Ken Mascara said no one else lives at Myers' address and that Myers is being treated as a missing person right now.

He said Myers' ex-boyfriend, a truck driver from out of state, was the last person to hear from her when he spoke with her yesterday.

Anyone with information is asked to call Crimestoppers at 1-800-273-TIPS.

Sheriff: Owner of fire-damaged Lakewood Park house was kidnapped

January 12, 2006

By TYLER TREADWAY

FORT PIERCE  Authorities believe a woman who disappeared Wednesday morning was abducted as fire seriously damaged her Lakewood Park home.

The St. Lucie County Sheriff's Office is searching for Dori Ann Myers, 44, of 8401 Salerno Road, whose black 1998 Toyota sedan was seen leaving the house as the fire began and later was found burned near a public boat ramp in Glades County.

"We're extremely concerned about Mrs. Myers' well-being," said St. Lucie County Sheriff Ken Mascara, "and we are using every means possible to uncover any clues to find Mrs. Myers. We are calling on the assistance of anyone who may have come into contact with Mrs. Myers or had seen her vehicle between St. Lucie County and Glades County."

Deputies are looking for a white man wearing a baseball cap and another with a dark complexion seen with Myers the evening before the fire as "subjects of interest." Officials suspect the fire at Myers' home was set, fire spokesman Chief Buddy Emerson said, because the fire had several points of origin. Officials also found a flammable liquid that could have been used to spread the flames.

Deputies are looking for a white man wearing a baseball cap and another with a dark complexion seen with Myers the evening before the fire as "subjects of interest."

Investigators believe Myers' home and car were burned to cover up possible clues.

No injuries were reported in the fire, but Myers' dog was in the house and died in the blaze. Fire and smoke damage was estimated at $50,000.

Neighbors said Myers, a hairdresser, lived alone in the house.

Cindi Gamez, a neighbor who called "911" to report the fire, said Myers didn't spend a lot of time at the home because she liked to "party a bit."

Anyone with information is asked to contact detectives Mike Sumner, (772) 370-2711, or Rusty Russell, (772) 216-5016.

Missing Lakewood Park woman's family offers $5,000 reward

January 17, 2006

By TYLER TREADWAY

FORT PIERCE  A week after her mysterious disappearance and the burning of her home, the distraught family of a Lakewood Park woman is offering a $5,000 reward for information about her apparent abduction.

St. Lucie County sheriff's investigators think Dori Ann Myers, 44, of 8401 Salerno Road was taken from her home, possibly by two men authorities also are seeking.

"We've got to get these people," said Donajean Kapp, the missing woman's sister. "We've got to find her. ... She's my baby sister, my only sister, and I just want to bring her home."

Officials with the St. Lucie County Fire District suspect arson because the fire had several points of origin and because a flammable liquid that could have been used to spread the flames was found.

Deputies think Myers was abducted and not a willing participant in setting fire to her home because neighbors heard arguing coming from Myers' residence before the fire started.

Myers' purse was found inside the residence.

Myers was seen with two men on the evening of Jan. 10, at the St. Lucie Inn, a bar at 2102 N. Old Dixie Highway north of Fort Pierce. One man is white and was wearing a baseball cap; the other has a dark complexion that authorities say is either Hispanic or American Indian, but not black.

A police sketch artist has made composite drawings of the two. Kapp said she's contacted "a large network of family and friends," and nobody recognizes the men.

Kapp said hundreds of fliers with Myers' photo and the drawings have been put up in grocery stores, convenience stores, hotels and bars "from Miami to Malabar," south of Melbourne.

Store clerks have been asked to "make sure people look at those pictures," Kapp said. "I want people to look at my sister's face and look at those two men."

Kapp said she's not sure what could have happened to Myers.

"Oh, I've got 10,000 things I think could have happened, but we just don't know," she said. "Everything is purely conjecture. What we need right now is the truth. Any tip, anything that someone might think is inconsequential could be important."

Kapp asked that anyone with information contact St. Lucie County Sheriff's Office detectives Mike Sumner at (772) 370-2711, or Rusty Russell at (772) 216-5016.

Son Rushes To Treasure Coast To Help Find Missing Mom

UPDATED: January 17, 2006

FORT PIERCE, Fla. -- The son of a woman who is missing after her car and house were torched with fire has arrived in the Treasure Coast to find out what happened to his mother.

"As soon as I got the news, it was around 7. I hit the road, and I was here around 9 o'clock," said Jesse King. "I got to be strong for everybody, until we get to the bottom of this."

A journalism student in Milwaukee, King, who drove about 26 hours straight to get to Fort Pierce, said he has suddenly found himself thrust in the most difficult assignment of his life: finding what happened to his mother, Dori Ann Myers, who has been missing since last week.

"That's why it's crucial these days," King said. "I know it's the holiday, and it's the weekend or whatever, whatever. But we got to get on it. We got to get the reports, the fliers out if not statewide, nationwide."

Detectives believe Myers was abducted after she was spotted with two men at the St. Lucie Inn.

They found her home burned and her car torched and abandoned at a Glades County marina.

"She's actually a very responsible woman," King said.

King said he is desperate to find out what happened to his mother, a hairdresser who loves motorcycles, poker and being surrounded by her family and friends.

"I'm mad. I'm mad. She don't deserve this," he said.

The family is collecting reward money, hoping to entice a tipster with information that will bring Myers home.

Lakewood Park woman's disappearance gets nationwide attention

January 19, 2006

By TYLER TREADWAY

FORT PIERCE  The case of a Lakewood Park woman who disappeared last week as her house was set on fire is drawing nationwide attention.

St. Lucie County Sheriff Ken Mascara appeared Tuesday night on the Fox News show "On the Record with Greta Van Susteren" to talk about 44-year-old Dori Ann Myers, whom authorities believe was abducted from her home at 8401 Salerno Road early Jan. 11.

Amy Doyle, a Fox News producer, said Van Susteren became interested in the case after receiving an e-mail from Myers' father, Dale Curry of Melbourne.

"We wanted to get as much national coverage as we could on the story to help out (Myers') family," Doyle said.

Donajean Kapp of Fort Pierce, Myers' sister, said family members have contacted news organizations throughout the country to publicize the case.

"(Van Susteren) is the first one to follow through for us," Kapp said. "But we'll keep trying to get the word out as much as we can. Anything we can do for my sister, we'll do."

The family is offering a $5,000 reward for information that leads to Myers' release and the capture of her abductors.

Sheriff's detectives are looking for two men  one white, one believed to be Hispanic or American Indian  seen with Myers at the St. Lucie Inn, a bar at 2102 N. Old Dixie Highway north of Fort Pierce, the night before the fire.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the sheriff's Detective Bureau at (772) 462-3230.

Missing Florida Woman, Dori Ann Myers

Dori Ann Myers,(43) was abducted on January 10, 2006 from Ft Pierce, Florida. The men who abducted her are still at large.

The men burned Myers' house with her pets still inside, (Emily and Miss Priss), they then drove to Glades County about 80 miles away and torched her car at a boat ramp.

Witnesses saw the car, a 1998 Toyota being backed out of the driveway and being driven off at approximately 03:00 AM on January 11th 2006.

The family has received no news as to her whereabouts and they are devastated and in need of some answers. They are desperately trying to get the faces of these 2 men in the media, to see if anyone knows who they are.

Myers' sister says she was conned by these men, and because of her generous nature, gave them a place to stay for the night and something went terribly wrong.

Myers' sister gave us a some background on the family. She says "My Dad, Dale Curry, and Mom Terry moved here in 1963, we grew up in Vero, Going to Elementary, Junior and High School here, My Dad retired from Piper Aircraft as Corperate Pilot, My Mom was a Nurse at the Old Indian River Memorial Hospital, working in the Operating Room.

My sister graduated from Cosmetology school 17 years ago and has worked as a hairdresser for that long, she is currently employed at Scandals in Vero Beach. My sister lives in Lakewood Park, Ft. Pierce, Fla., but still calls Vero Beach home.

Our family and friends have personally made hundreds of phone calls to the press and put Posters out from Miami to California, physically at Hotels, Restuarants, Bars, Stores, Etc. and via E-Mail. We have a reward of $6000.00 that is likely to grow, as many people want to pledge to the Reward.

It has been 2 weeks and every second and every minute counts."

Anyone having or needing additional information should contact either Detective Mike Sumner (772) 370-2711 or Detective Rusty Russell (772) 216-5016.

Missing woman's car found gutted by fire

Maggie Newland

Last updated on: 1/26/2006 9:19:15 AM

GLADES COUNTY  A car gutted by fire in Glades County has ties to a kidnapped woman in Fort Pierce. It has been two weeks since anyone has seen or heard from 43-year-old Dori Ann Myers. Two weeks ago, someone burned her Fort Pierce home, and she hasn't been seen since.

"To me it smells totally of foul play. I can't think of it any other way," said Dori's father, Dale Curry.

Detectives agree. They believe Myers was kidnapped.

There are sketch artist drawings of two men family and friends believe had something to do with her disappearance. They say she was with the two men early on the morning she disappeared.

"I looked out and saw a car pull out of the driveway and I heard some glass popping and I looked in the backyard and saw flames coming out of the back of the house," said Dori's neighbor Cindy Gamez.

Detectives believe someone deliberately set the fire and left Myers' pets in the home to die.

This isn't the only fire deputies are investigating.

"On the morning of January 11, we got a call for a vehicle fire," said Glades County Sheriff Stuart Whidden.

In Glades County, about 80 miles from Fort Pierce, Myers' car was found completely burned.

"Until we ran the registration and one thing kind of just led to another," said Whidden.

After two weeks of investigation, she's still nowhere to be found.

"It needs to be solved as soon as possible because every day it goes by, the odds go down," said Whidden.

Odds her family doesn't want to think about.

"I hope and pray they find her someplace alive," said Curry.

The family is offering a $6,000 reward for any information about Myers or the people who kidnapped her. Anyone with any information is urged to call Crime Stoppers at 1800-780-TIPS.

Search for missing Lakewood Park woman in high gear

February 3, 2006

By TYLER TREADWAY

ORT PIERCE  More than three weeks after Dori Ann Myers disappeared from her Lakewood Park home, her family is still hoping for her return.

"But it's hard, very hard," said Donajean Kapp, Myers' sister who also lives in Lakewood Park. "Three weeks is way too long. Everybody is hanging in there, but we're devastated."

Believing Myers, 44, was abducted from her home at 8401 Salerno Road early Jan. 11 just as the house was set on fire, authorities are looking for two men  one white, one believed to be Hispanic or American Indian  seen with her at the St. Lucie Inn, a bar at 2102 N. Old Dixie Highway north of Fort Pierce, the night before the fire.

"Getting (Myers) back alive, that's our ultimate goal," said St. Lucie County Sheriff Ken Mascara, "but each day that goes by is bad news in that regard."

Mascara said his office has sent out state and national "be on the lookout" alerts for both the suspects and Myers; deputies have gotten lots of calls about possible sightings of the two men, but none has panned out.

Because Myers' car was found abandoned and burned at a boat ramp near the community of Lakeport in Glades County, he said St. Lucie County deputies have canvassed the area "on three or four occasions" hoping to turn up clues.

They've gotten help, Mascara said, from deputies in Glades and Manatee counties "talking to people all over their jurisdictions, especially notable characters, people with criminal backgrounds."

"What it's going to take," he added, "is for these two guys to be sitting in a bar somewhere, maybe having too much to drink, and trying to take a woman away with them or bragging about burning down a house in St. Lucie County."

For their part, family members have increased the reward they're offering from $5,000 to $6,500 for information that leads to Myers' release and the capture of her abductors. They've also been working hard to get media coverage, especially national coverage, of the case.

So far, the Fox News shows "On the Record with Greta Van Susteren" and "The Lineup" have provided national coverage, and several newspapers and local television stations in South and Central Florida have done stories.

The family and Mascara have been in touch with John Walsh, host of the Fox News show "America's Most Wanted," in hopes of more coverage. Network news shows, Kapp said, haven't responded.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the sheriff's Detective Bureau at (772) 462-3230.

Still missing

Saturday, March 25, 2006

By Allyson Bird

Palm Beach Post Staff Writer

Donajean Kapp sometimes calls Dori Ann Myers' cellphone, knowing she'll just get a voice mail greeting. But at least she can hear her little sister's voice.

"I'm still living at Jan. 11," Kapp, 46, says between harried drags on a cigarette

She's not the only one.

Jesse King had plans to start college in California. But the 26-year-old aspiring writer has been waiting in Vero Beach, the town he wanted to get away from, since old friends tracked him down in Milwaukee to tell him his mother had been abducted.

Dale Curry, a 69-year-old retired Piper pilot, stays up late thinking about reporters. He'll sometimes make his way to his computer at 1 or 2 a.m., log on to the Internet and shoot off an e-mail asking for another few minutes on the air, another article with his daughter's picture.

"If her story dies, we're going to lose all these contacts, all these leads," he says.

Dori Ann Myers doesn't have the blondschoolgirl innocence of Natalee Holloway, still missing from a senior-year trip to Aruba. Myers is a 43-year-old mother who has tattoos, rides Harleys and won a bathing suit contest just two years ago.

Her son says she buried her first two loves and suffered abuse at the hands of the next two.

But the pretty, petite brunette with the big smile has a family that doesn't want the country to stop looking for her. They have pushed to get her story on three national television shows and in newspapers around the state.

Kapp made "Abducted" posters with her sister's picture that biker friends and family have stretched from the Atlantic to the Pacific and that Kapp wears ironed onto her clothes and posted in the back of her truck.

You can still smell smoke from Myers' yard when a breeze blows through her tan-colored house on Salerno Road in Lakewood Park. It has been 73 days since her house and car were burned, 72 days since officials have volunteered any new information about her disappearance or the two men with whom she was last seen.

The red bows and yellow ribbons friends tied around her palm tree have seen better days. Rain and sun have battered the note: "We are praying for you. Love, Carol and Darren." And the other note: "Still praying. Carol." She came to play poker

Myers' first stop on Jan. 10 was at the Hillbilly Hideaway, a tucked-back Vero Beach locals bar near Scandals Salon, where she worked as a hairdresser. It was a Tuesday, poker night, and Myers loves Texas Hold 'Em.

But she came in too late to get a seat at a table, says Rick Bowman, whose wife owns the Hideaway. So Myers sat at the bar for a beer or two, played video poker and chatted with friends. She left by 8 p.m.

"I should've bumped someone off the tables," Bowman says. "That makes me feel real bad."

Because from there, Myers went to the St. Lucie Inn in Fort Pierce, where she reportedly met the two unidentified men with whom she was last seen.

One person who was at the bar that night says the two men came in with another man and a young woman who left earlier in the night. The witness, who does not want to be named until the suspects are arrested, says Myers and the two men sat together for only about half an hour and that Myers drank water.

When Myers got home, her ex-boyfriend and close friend, Joe Jones, called. He heard male voices in the background and asked Myers who they were.

Marines who were wounded in Iraq and were heading south, she told him.

Jones says Myers had a soft spot for military men and women and would often talk with Vietnam veterans from around town.

"I know if they conned her saying they were Marines, she fell for that," Jones says.

Myers assured Jones one man was sleeping on the couch and the other on a pullout sofa and hurried off the phone.

Aggravated by the situation, Jones called back. A truck driver, he was in Missouri and couldn't do much. He says he told Myers he loved her and that he'd see her that weekend.

He and Myers spoke several times each day, he says. But when his phone rang the next morning, it was the St. Lucie County Sheriff's Office.

A glow from next door

Cindy Gamez was the one who called 911 as flames lit up Myers' house. Her husband heard voices next door just after midnight and when he flipped on their light, the people talking moved inside the house.

Less than three hours later, Gamez heard car doors slam and watched Myers' black 1998 Honda drive off. Then she saw the glow.

The fire damaged 30 percent of Myers' home, and smoke got the rest. A fire department spokesman said later that morning that the fire looked like it had been set in several spots with a flammable liquid.

Myers' car, also burned, turned up at a public boat ramp in Glades County at 5 a.m. that day.

Hours later, the St. Lucie County Sheriff's Office held a news conference, unusual in a missing person case. The next day, the sheriff's office released information that Myers was believed to have been abducted.

Looking for leads

The vague drawings of the two suspects look like plenty of men in any given crowd.

"I saw those two composites, and now I'm seeing them everywhere," Myers' son says.

Her family insists that she wouldn't have let two men come to her house unless she knew them or a friend knew them.

They also discredit any notion that Myers wanted to leave because her "flabalab," a pudgy black Lab named Emily, and her cat, Miss Priss, died in the fire. And Myers had just finished paying off the car that was destroyed.

Sheriff's investigators told her father they got a tip that someone had seen Myers in a car with two men at a Seminole Indian reservation in Okeechobee the day after her house burned. The witness from the St. Lucie Inn says investigators placed a man they found at the reservation in a photo lineup.

Sheriff's office Chief Deputy Garry Wilson says investigators have produced dozens of unsuccessful lineups with people out of St. Lucie and Glades counties, including the man found on the reservation.

"So far we have not developed any solid suspects from those efforts," Wilson says, adding that several investigators are still actively pursuing Myers' case every day.

"This has not taken on a cold case type of existence at the sheriff's office," he says.

In the meantime, Kapp has hoped to organize a search through the swampy area where Myers' car was found, but investigators have discouraged independent searches out of fear of damaging evidence.

Kapp catches herself when she refers to her sister in the past tense but grows more restless every day her efforts are confined to copy-machine strategies and online networking.

Myers taught her how to use a computer, after all.

As Kapp prints more posters, she notices some of the originals have come down in businesses around town over the past 2 1/2 months.

"I guess it's not a happy thing to look at," she says.

But until someone finds Myers, she wants the whole country looking.

Parents Search for Missing Daughter

April 02, 2006

A Melbourne couple is hoping someone in central Florida might know what happened to their 43-year-old daughter.

Lisa and Dale Curry have been making national television appearances in hopes of finding their daughter, 43-year-old Dori Ann Myers.

Myers was last seen on January 10th at a bar in Vero Beach where witnesses say she left with two men.

Later that night, a fire gutted her house. Her car was also burned and found 80 miles away in Glades County and no one has seen or heard from her since.

“You wake up in the morning, [and] that's the first thing you think about," Lisa Curry said. You go to bed at night [and] it's the last thing you think about. You think about her all day."

Dale Curry said: "We, of course, want to find Dori, but the first part would be to find the suspects. Once we find the suspects we can figure out what happened to Dori."

Dori Ann Myers' parents say their daughter was last seen with two men.

If you have any information about the men or Myers, call police.

Remembering Our Missing or Abducted Loved Ones


Contributed by: Donajean Kapp on 5/21/2006

Since January 11, 2006, I have have been actively trying to find my sister Dori Ann Myers, who was Abducted from her home in Lakewood Park. She is classified as Abducted/Endangered. This seems so surreal to me as I never thought that I would be involved in something that I have only just read about.

The numbers are staggering as to the amount of Missing Adults, all of whom become a Statistic, while loved ones left behind are riding a roller coaster of emotions. WHO, WHAT, and WHY? I Thank GOD, FAMILY, & FRIENDS who have helped me on my every day emotional breakdowns, and for being there for me on my good days too :o) But the reality always hits home when another day has gone by and I still have no answers as to what happened to my Little Sis.

I have spent hundreds of hours surfing the web for information, help and comfort. Trying to keep my sister alive through pictures, posters and E-Mails. I ran across an organization called "CUE" Center for Missing Persons run by a wonderful Woman named Monica Caison. The belief of the CUE Center, and mine as well, is that Someone, Somewhere, knows Something!!

Three years ago Monica started "On the Road to Remember", the whole concept being, that something drastic is needed to get attention focused on cases that have or are going unnoticed by the Media and the Public. The hope of the tour is that it will bring news coverage for our Missing Loved Ones, support from our community, but mostly tips and/or leads, into solving our cases.

This year a Rally was going to be hosted in West Palm, by Mrs Sterling, whose son was Missing, but sadly, her son, Matthews' body was found. (My heart and prayers go out to her and her family as they sit Shiva for Matthew).

I am hosting a rally here in Vero Beach, hence, this letter...If anyone along the coast has A Missing loved one and wants to participate,  Time is of the essence as the tour will be here approximately June 19, 2006. I am in need of a Place to hold the Rally. There are a lot of details to attend to such as refreshments and food. Anyone who wants to participate (No matter how long your Loved One has been missing) is welcome to set up a table with Pictures and Posters or anything that might be of importance to your family.

A Press Packet/Booklet and CD will be passed out to ALL press as the CUE travels from City to City, which will include your loved one if you have registered with the CueCenter. (I have all the information for that as well), but the time limit to register for this years tour is very near.The CUE is a non-profit organization and will have T-shirts available for a donation to help fund the tour travel expenses. They are traveling to 16 States (N.C., Va., Wa., Md., De., Cn., Pa., N.J., N.Y., Oh., In., Ky., Tn., S.C., Ga., and Fl.)

This Rally is for EVERYONE who has a Missing Family Member, or Friend from ANYWHERE.

I will post the Exact date as soon as all of the details are worked out. If you would like to help in getting this Rally together, "PLEASE" contact me.

Thank-You for all the support,
Donajean Kapp

Vigil continues for missing Lakewood Park woman

By DAN GARCIA

June 17, 2006

VERO BEACH  Family members and friends of Dori Ann Myers sat in tents under the broiling sun at a flea market on U.S. 1 in Vero Beach on Friday, holding up photos of Myers and hoping media attention will lead to her discovery.

Myers, 44, who grew up in Vero Beach, is one of thousands of people who go missing annually in the United States, but for her father, Dale Curry of Melbourne, statistics can't lessen the agony he feels for his missing daughter.

"We're not passing up any opportunity to keep Dori's name circulating out there," said Curry, a former pilot for New Piper Aircraft Inc. "Hopefully this will stir up some leads."

Myers, a hair-stylist who lived in Lakewood Park on the northern border of St. Lucie County, disappeared from her home on Salerno Road about 3 a.m. Jan. 11, and her house was set on fire. Myers' car later was found torched at a boat ramp in Glades County.

Her sister, Donajean Kapp of Lakewood Park, said Myers disappeared after she offered shelter for two men she met at a bar and who claimed they were U.S. Marines but did not have a place to stay.

Authorities are looking for the men, one described as white and the other believed to be Hispanic or American Indian. They were last seen with Myers at the St. Lucie Inn, a bar at 2102 N. Old Dixie Highway north of Fort Pierce.

"She was an interesting person and very beautiful," Kapp said. "We're living with this every day.

"I've made up signs and posters, I've gone on the computer. Hopefully, somebody will come forward and say, 'I know something about this.'"

In addition to her father, Myers has a son, Jesse King, 26, who has returned to Florida from Milwaukee to help in the search.

St. Lucie County Sheriff's Detective Mike Sumner said the case is "an active investigation.

"We're following leads that came in through the tip line," Sumner said. "Sometimes it's just a matter of the clock ticking its time. I know the family members are under duress because Dori hasn't been found."

Joining Myers' relatives at the rally was Monica Caison, founder of the Cue Center for Missing Persons, based in Wilmington, N.C., and founded in 1994.

The organization included Vero Beach in its "On the Road to Remember" trek, a 15-state tour that winds up next week in North Carolina, after Kapp contacted the organization.

Staffed by volunteers and funded by donations, the organization is conducting its third annual multistate tour to highlight the plight of missing persons.

"The families left behind are all devastated," Caison said. "They look to us to find out what to do and how to do it."

Caison said FBI statistics show 850,000 people go missing in the United States each year, but she did not have a breakdown on how many are regarded as abductions, runaways or dependents taken by quarreling parents.

"That's equal to 144 persons going down on an airplane every hour and 23 minutes," Caison said.

Myers' family members are offering a $6,500 reward for information leading to her discovery and the arrest of her abductors. The case received national coverage on the Fox News shows "On the Record with Greta Van Susteren" and "The Lineup."

Anyone with information can contact the St. Lucie County Sheriff's Detective Bureau at (772) 462-3230 or CrimeStoppers (800) 273-TIPS.

After a year, sister still has hopes disappearance will be resolved

By TYLER TREADWAY

January 11, 2007

LAKEWOOD PARK  A year isn't long enough to make a case turn cold; not for Donajean Kapp. She hasn't given up searching for her sister, Dori Ann Myers, who disappeared Jan. 11, 2006, as her home burned down.

"I keep her in my heart every day," said Kapp. "I know that a lot of time has passed, but I'm not going to consider her gone until the police tell me that."

And St. Lucie County Sheriff's detectives say they're not ready give up their search for Myers either. "It's still an active investigation," said Detective Mike Sumner. "We're still following active leads. It's not a cold case."

Authorities originally thought Myers, 44, might have been involved in setting the fire that seriously damaged her home at 8401 Salerno Road in Lakewood Park; they later determined that she had been abducted by the arsonists. "Every day I think about her," said Kapp, a Vero Beach resident. (Myers, the former Dori Ann Curry, also grew up in Vero Beach.) "I really don't know any more today that I did a year ago. It seems that every time you take two steps forward, you take 10 steps back."

amw.com | Dori Ann Myers - Missing Person

A Troubling Disappearance

(Dori was a hairstylist in St. Lucie County, Fla., before her mysterious disappearance.)

When Dori left the bar that night, she told a friend that she was taking two men who claimed to be U.S. Marines back to her home in St. Lucie County because they had nowhere else to stay. Her neighbors were awakened around 3 a.m. by sounds of arguing coming from Dori's house. Then, police say, her neighbors reported that her black 1998 Toyota backed out of the driveway just as the rear of her house burst into flames.

After authorities arrived at the scene and the fire was extinguished, police officers searched the inside of the house. Despite extensive damage from fire and smoke, the fire department was able to conclude that arson was the cause.

Dori's purse was found inside the house. Police were also disturbed to find the burned remains of Dori's black labrador and her cat. Fortunately, there were no signs that Dori herself had been killed in the fire. However, this posed a new problem.

Because Dori was missing.

Fla. woman declared legally dead 1 year after her disappearance

FORT PIERCE  One year after a Lakewood Park woman disappeared in what investigators believe was an abduction, a judge this morning granted her family's request to legally declare her dead.

But, her father and mother said they have not given up hope that her case will be solved. Dori Ann Myers, who grew up in Vero Beach and was also known as Dori Ann Curry, disappeared Jan. 11, 2006. Her house was set on fire, and her car was found torched in Glades County.

Witnesses reported they heard arguing from Myers home before the fire.

"This was not a moral issue for us, it was a legal issue," said Dale Curry of the request for the death declaration. "This had to be done for Jesse. I hated to do it, but it had to be done."

The declaration should pave the way for Myers' only son, Jesse King, to collect insurance money and take possession of Myers' home. The family had not previously been able to repair the damaged home without the insurance money, according to court records.

Myers' case is still an active investigation at the St. Lucie County Sheriff's Office and investigators have continued to follow leads looking for the two men they believe abducted Myers.

Thursday, January 18, 2007

FORT PIERCE  One year after her sudden disappearance, which investigators believe was the result of an abduction and foul play, Dori Ann Myers' family walked into a courtroom Wednesday morning and made a somber request.

A St. Lucie County sheriff's detective took the witness stand and described the suspicious circumstances surrounding the Lakewood Park woman's disappearance on Jan. 11, 2006: Arson that damaged her house and killed her beloved pets; her purse and all personal items left behind; neighbors who heard arguing at the home before she disappeared; and the discovery of her torched car in Glades County.

There has since been no activity on her credit cards, passport or checking account, the detective said.

Her family said they probably will never let go of the glimmer of hope that she'll walk back into their lives, but at the courthouse Wednesday her father said: "We had to face reality."

A few minutes earlier, Circuit Judge Ben Bryan had granted her son's petition and signed an order legally declaring Myers dead.

"If it wasn't for the facts surrounding the case, I'd probably say, 'Oh no, they'll find her,''" said Myers' father, Dale Curry. "But she was so close to all her family. She would never just go off like this."

Her stepmother, Lisa Stone-Curry, echoed those thoughts.

"We know that she's gone, but as a parent you just hold hope in your heart," Stone-Curry said.

It was a difficult request to make, Dale Curry said, but it does not mean the family has given up faith that her case will one day be solved and the suspected abductors brought to justice.

Detective Mike Sumner said the Myers' case is an "open, active investigation."

"It is not a cold case," he said. "We are still actively working leads."

Myers, a 43-year-old hairdresser who grew up in Vero Beach, also was known as Dori Ann Curry-Myers.

Her family said she was an outspoken, outgoing woman who fiercely loved her family and friends. She also loved a good game of Texas Hold 'Em and riding her Harley motorcycle. She bought the house on Salerno Road in Lakewood Park as a fixer-upper and remodeled it with the help of family and friends - down to the mosaic countertops and back splash of old tiles she broke apart and pieced together.

The death declaration will allow Myers' only son, Jesse King, to begin the process of claiming insurance money so he can repair and possibly sell Myers' fire-damaged home. The family has not been able to begin renovations without the insurance money, according to court records.

"I hated to do it," her father said of the death declaration. "This was not a moral decision for us - it was a legal decision. It had to be done for Jesse."

Usually, people must be missing for five years before they are presumed legally dead. But King's attorney argued that the law also allows a judge to make a death declaration sooner if there is evidence the missing person was "exposed to specific peril of death," according to court records.

Witnesses said that on Jan. 10, 2006, Myers visited the St. Lucie Inn, where she reportedly met the two unidentified men with whom she was last seen. When Myers got home, her ex-boyfriend and close friend Joe Jones called. He heard male voices in the background, and Myers told him they were Marines who were wounded in Iraq and were headed south.

At about midnight, a neighbor reported she heard arguing at Myers' home. Less than three hours later, the neighbor heard car doors slam and watched Myers' car drive off, she said. Then she saw the house was on fire.

Two years after woman vanished, family fights on 

 

Posted: 2008 Jan 11 - 01:59

By Warren Kagarise

Staff writer

FORT PIERCE - Posters splashed with photos of a smiling Dori Ann Myers were taken down long ago. Tributes that once dotted the front yard of her charred Lakewood Park home are gone.

She disappeared two years ago this week, the same day fire ravaged her home and investigators discovered her burned-out Toyota in rural Glades County. Authorities said two men whom Ms. Myers had met earlier at a bar abducted her.

Almost once a week, information about the case, No. 1-06-000-459, trickles to St. Lucie County Sheriff's Office investigators.

Donajean Kapp, Ms. Myers' older sister, talks with detectives each week, but during the two years since Dori vanished, her hopes have flickered.

"I'm feeling like it's the worst case scenario and not the best," Mrs. Kapp said last week.

Meanwhile, investigators have interviewed Ms. Myers' friends, old boyfriends and patrons at the two bars she visited on the night she disappeared.

Detective Ronald Wentz, the lead Sheriff's Office investigator, said he could offer few details on the case, citing the ongoing investigation. But he said the Sheriff's Office was pursuing leads and working with other law enforcement agencies.

A Port St. Lucie private investigative agency, National Investigative and Forensic Examiners, volunteered to take the case last year.

"This case is solvable, and I do believe we can solve it," said Jim Hannan, the lead private investigator.

National Investigative and Forensic Examiners has traced the case across Florida and turned over information to the Sheriff's Office

"We're working hand-in-hand with him," Mr. Wentz said.

Since the Jan. 11, 2006, disappearance, Mrs. Kapp has marshaled the effort to find Dori, printing hundreds of fliers with photos of Ms. Myers and her description. Six months after Dori disappeared, family members and friends rallied in Vero Beach. Last year, Mrs. Kapp launched a Web site, D.A.M.M.A.D., an acronym for Dori Ann Myers Missing Abducted Duped.

Somewhere, there are answers, Mrs. Kapp said: "It's time that somebody talks. Someone knows something."

Closing in

On the night she disappeared, Ms. Myers stopped by a Vero Beach bar, Hillbilly Hideaway, after leaving work at Scandals Salon, where she was a hairdresser. She came to play poker, but the tables were full.

So Ms. Myers headed to the St. Lucie Inn along Old Dixie Highway in Fort Pierce. There, authorities later said, she met her abductors: Two men who claimed to be Marines wounded in Iraq.

Ms. Myers, then 43, offered them her couch and a pullout sofa for the night.

Back at her Lakewood Park home, neighbors heard voices and car doors slamming around 2 a.m. Ms. Myers' black Toyota drove off. Minutes later, fire tore through the house at 8401 Salerno Road.

For investigators, the trail of evidence led to the southwestern shore of Lake Okeechobee. Near Moore Haven, a tiny farming town, authorities discovered the smoldering Toyota sedan at 5 a.m.

But investigators never found any sign of Ms. Myers.

"I am not totally satisfied that Dori Myers is dead," Mr. Hannan said last week.

Ms. Myers' purse was discovered in the ruins of her home. Her pets, a black Lab named Emily, and a cat, Miss Priss, died in the fire.

But there is no way Ms. Myers would have left willingly, her sister said.

"She would never have been gone this long without reaching somebody, especially me," Mrs. Kapp said.

In the weeks after the fire, investigators produced dozens of unsuccessful lineups, but each one proved fruitless. Now, investigators are working to narrow the pool of possible suspects, Mr. Hannan said.

"Day by day," he continued, "we're getting closer."

Suspect composites released by the Sheriff's Office are vague. One shows a white man wearing a baseball cap, while the other depicts a man with a darker complexion.

"We pray every day that [investigators have] a handle on something and are waiting for the right time or for the right person to come forward," Mrs. Kapp said.

Against the odds

On Jan. 17, 2007, Circuit Judge Ben L. Bryan Jr. declared Ms. Myers legally dead. Her only child and heir, Jesse King, was appointed as her representative. Family members needed to access insurance money to begin repairs to the Lakewood Park house, but insurers would release the money only if Ms. Myers were declared dead.

The ruling did not affect the investigation, Mr. Wentz said. Still, it has been difficult to keep people tuned in to the case.

"It's very tough to keep the public interested because it's in their face for one or two months and then it's gone," the detective said.

After two years without developments, interest in the case has waned. Ms. Myers has faded from Florida newspapers and newscasts. National news programs, which focused on the disappearance early on, have moved elsewhere. "America's Most Wanted" has devoted a Web page to Ms. Myers, but without detailed suspect descriptions, little more can be done.

Mrs. Kapp wants to keep the case fresh, but each day that passes makes the task more difficult. And she has other hardships to face: Mrs. Kapp spends her days in Jacksonville, where her ailing husband is awaiting a liver transplant at the Mayo Clinic.

Until investigators unlock the mystery surrounding Ms. Myers' disappearance, her sister hopes for clues that will explain why Dori vanished.

"We need the public to remember her face," Mrs. Kapp said, "to remember that day."

Anyone with information about Dori Ann Myers' 2006 disappearance can contact the St. Lucie County Sheriff's Office at (772) 462-3230 or Treasure Coast Crimestoppers at (800) 273-TIPS. Donajean Kapp's D.A.M.M.A.D. Web site can be accessed at dammad.vpweb.com.

Dori Ann Myers

Over A Year Later, Woman's Whereabouts Remain A Mystery

Over a year after she vanished, Dori Ann Myers is still missing. On January 10, 2006, Dori went to a local bar that she often frequented after work. She left the bar that night with two men, who claimed to be U.S. Marines. The Fort Pierce, Fla. resident has not been seen since.

Dori was a hairstylist in St. Lucie County, Fla., before her mysterious disappearance.

Dori Ann Myers had a favorite hangout she liked to frequent after work -- and on the night of Jan. 10, 2006, she walked out of there for the very last time.

She told a friend that she was taking two men who claimed to be U.S. Marines back to her home in St. Lucie County because they had nowhere else to stay.  Her neighbors were awakened around 3 a.m. by sounds of arguing coming from Dori's house.  Then, police say, her neighbors reported that her black 1998 Toyota backed out of the driveway just as the rear of her house burst into flames.

After authorities arrived at the scene and the fire was extinguished, police officers searched the inside of the house.  Despite extensive damage from fire and smoke, the fire department was able to conclude that arson was the cause.

Dori's purse was found inside the house.  Police were also disturbed to find the burned remains of Dori's black labrador and her cat.  Fortunately, there were no signs that Dori herself had been killed in the fire.  However, this posed a new problem.

Because Dori was missing.

Her car was found later that morning almost 90 miles away, destroyed by fire.

This is all that was left of Dori's car when cops found it 90 miles away from her home.

Discovery Of Car Leads To Dead End

Dori was now considered an abducted person, and police had no idea where to find her.  The first clue in the case came just a few hours later, when Dori's car was found almost 90 miles away at a boat ramp in a remote area of Glades County, completely destroyed by fire.

Since that time, Dori has made no contact with friends or family.  Her parents, sister, and son are desperate to know where she is, and what happened to her that night.

This is a composite sketch of one of the suspects.

Mystery Men Still Not Found

No one who spotted the two men Dori was last seen with has been able to recognize them.

One man is described as Caucasian, about 25-35-years-old, tall, weighing about 175-200 lbs, and wearing a ball cap, with a stud earring in his left ear.  The second man is described as having a darker complexion than the first man, and may be an American Indian or Hispanic.

Family, law enforcement won't let St. Lucie woman's 2006 disappearance case go cold

suspect in Dori Ann Myers disappearance

LAKEWOOD PARK  The fire that burned Dori Ann Myers' home the day she was abducted has been out for more than three years, but neither law enforcement nor Myers' family consider her disappearance a cold case.

"I'm still working on active leads," said St. Lucie County Sheriff's Detective Ron Wentz. "In fact, I got new information as late as last week that I'm working on. ... It's too early to tell if it's a viable lead or not. I've had several leads that looked promising that didn't pan out."

Myers, who grew up in Vero Beach as Dori Ann Curry, disappeared in the early morning of Jan. 11, 2006, just as firefighters were called to a fire at her home at 8401 Salerno Road in Lakewood Park.

Authorities originally thought she might have been involved in setting the fire. After her burned-out car was found near a landing on the west side of Lake Okeechobee, they decided she had been abducted by the arsonists.

Myers, 46 at the time of her disappearance, was seen with two men the night before the fire at the St. Lucie Inn, a bar at 2102 N. Old Dixie Highway north of Fort Pierce. Authorities described one man as white and wearing a baseball cap; the other as having a dark complexion, "either Hispanic or American Indian, but not black."

Wentz said the new lead involved witnesses who saw Myers with the two men but declined to be more specific.

Wentz said the case "runs hot and cold. Months can go by and I won't hear anything, then there'll be a flurry of activity. .. . I've been all over the place with this investigation."

Donnajean Kapp, Myers' sister, figuratively has "been all over the place" as well.

"I'm trying to keep Dori's story out there," Kapp said, noting that she periodically distributes fliers about the case, posts information on Scripps Treasure Coast Newspapers' Your Hub Web site and maintains a Web site  http://dammad.vpweb.com  for her sister.

"I figure that if I keep her picture and name out there," she said, "at some point somebody's going to say, 'Oh my God, I saw her.'"

Kapp said her family is still offering a $5,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of whoever who took Myers. Ken Wilson, executive director of Treasure Coast Crime Stoppers, said his agency also is offering a separate reward of up to $1,000.

"I want to keep Dori fresh in people's minds," Kapp said. "Every day she's fresh in my mind. She's not a distant memory to me."

Detectives in St. Lucie County working cold cases, hoping to solve killings, disappearances

By Keona Gardner

Posted December 16, 2009 at 7:49 p.m.

ST. LUCIE COUNTY — Go slow, get a frame and then work your way to the middle.

That’s how Donajean Kapp and her sister Dori Ann Myers put together a jigsaw puzzle.

But Myers disappeared three years ago and Kapp and now St. Lucie County Sheriff’s detectives are using what seems like a jigsaw puzzle of tips to try to find out what happened to her.

“She’s my girl,†Kapp said. “She’s my best friend. The hardest part is not knowing what happened to her.â€

Myers’ case is one of more than 80 unsolved homicides and disappearances on the Treasure Coast, according to data provided to Scripps Treasure Coast Newspapers.

Myers, who grew up in Vero Beach as Dori Ann Curry, disappeared at age 43 from her Lakewood Park home on Jan. 11, 2006. Detectives have pieced together that Myers was last seen with two men the night before the disappearance at the St. Lucie Inn. Myers’ house was burned, killing her pets inside. Her 1998 black Toyota was found burned at a boat ramp in Glades County. However, Myers has never been found and officially her case is a disappearance.

“I’m not naive,†Kapp said. “I know that...†she said taking a deep breath and not finishing the sentence. “But in my heart of hearts I have to hold on to hope that she’s alive.â€

The Treasure Coast unsolved cases are mostly homicides. The oldest case on file at the St. Lucie County Sheriff’s Office is the 1969 killing of 48-year old Sarah Duggins. She was found barely conscious on South Beach with gunshot wounds to her head and shoulder. Duggins died five months later from her injuries.

“We cover cold cases forever,†said Sgt. Adam Goodner, St. Lucie County Sheriff’s Office. “It’s a challenge solving a case that many have deemed unsolvable.â€

There isn’t a concrete rule in deciding when an investigation becomes a cold case; it’s just when the investigation stops receiving leads, said Lt. John Silvas of the Martin County Sheriff’s Office.

The Treasure Coast’s oldest unsolved homicide is the 1968 killing of milkman Hiram Ross Grayam in Indian River County.

“You’re counting on detectives’ reports from years and years ago to solve this crime,†said Lt. Darin Jones of the Indian River County Sheriff’s Office.

At the St. Lucie County Sheriff’s Office, a group of five detectives meet at least once a week reviewing the cases, bouncing ideas off each other, giving suggestions and trying to see if there’s anything new.

“Not that the other detectives did anything wrong, but because investigative techniques have changed,†Goodner said.

Authorities said when investigating a cold case they follow the same techniques — going to the crime scene, reviewing evidence, finding witnesses — as if the crime had occurred yesterday. But attempting to solve decades-old cases is definitely harder.

“Some of these cases took place 20 or 30 years ago when a witness was 40 or 50 years old. So, now the witness is in their 60s, 70s, or 80s. Memories fade,†Goodner said. “Or they move away or they die. But if there is a nice part about these cold (homicide) cases, it is time is on our side. There’s no statute of limitations for murder.â€

Tips also come from criminals, as was the case in August when Indian River County deputies solved the December 2002 murder of Doyle “Junior†Jones.

After a night of playing pool, a friend had dropped off Jones, 41, of Gifford, when an unidentified man wearing a hood approached the passenger side of the car and asked Jones to step out. When Jones did, he was shot three times. Shortly before the killing, Jones won $14,000 in a state lottery and had a large amount of money on him, deputies said. Despite getting a partial description of the suspect from Jones’s friend and finding the weapon used, the case went cold in 2004.

Four years later, the State Attorney’s Office received a letter from an inmate saying that Leon Holmes, 26, of Vero Beach and an unidentified man, who is incarcerated in a north Florida prison, had bragged on several occasions about killing Jones. That tip led detectives to arrest Holmes in August.

“It makes me feel so good,†said Jones’ daughter, Dorlet Jones, 28. “I never thought they would be able to solve the case because it has been so long.â€

But even if a witness puts a suspect at the scene, detectives have to find evidence that puts the person there too, Stuart Police Department Sgt. Bill Pecci said.

“It’s unfair to families for us to go forward with a case that we know is flawed and can’t get a conviction,†he said. “It’s unfair to taxpayers to go ahead with a trial and waste tax dollars.â€

In the Jones case, detectives connected a fingerprint found on the window of the car to the second suspect; without it detectives couldn’t make the case, said deputy Jeff Luther, Indian River County Sheriff’s Office spokesman.

“Anybody can say you were some place,†he said. “We have to have something to corroborate with what the witness is saying.â€

Also, law enforcement gets a boost from advancements in technology, mostly DNA. However, the results aren’t given in an hour as shown on television and can often take up to two weeks, Luther said. That’s because authorities are constantly working cases and sending evidence to be tested.

In some cases, when the crime took place the only technology available was fingerprinting. Now, investigators can use blood from an decades-old T-shirt and skin cells from a knife to get a DNA profile of a suspect.

Also, DNA of victims is entered into a national database where, if remains are found in another state and DNA of suspects are matched, detectives will be notified.

“There is someone out there who committed these murders and they are trying to keep it a secret,†Silvas said.

Kapp, too urges anyone with information about her sister’s disappearance to come forward.

“Just let us know where she is,†Kapp said.

From the family:

REMEMBERING MY LIL SIS/STILL MISSING 1/10/06

When I think of Dori, I think of how she greets me with waist-jumping love hugs,

The things she collects like coca-cola memorabilia, music boxes, & antique tea cups, Cookie Jars, & Betty Boop,And her ability to write and create, and her favorite store, "HOME DEPOT" lol.

Music she loves like Rascal Flatts, Waylon & Willie, Bob Segar, or Montgomery Gentry,

Her favorite color "Red", Playing Jinky Pop together on the computer, her love of reading and good movies, Dori's laughter when she watches Queens of Comedy or Mad TV, I think of us watching Dr. Phil, Trading Spaces, Discovery Channel, and calling each other to gripe about who they voted off of "Survivor", How she won a plaque for winning first place at the "Pour House" playing Texas Hold -Em Poker, Her love of "Ridin in the wind" on her Harley, Her singing the song "Grandpa" by the Judds @ Karaoke, She and I putting jigwaw puzzles together, her collection of wicker baskets,(we teased her about being a "Basket Case"), Rt. 66 & Fleetwood Mac, Our ability to chow down on some Dungeoness Crab Legs, and My love of sitting in her shampoo chair.

Dori is very opinionated and outspoken at times, but always a speaker of truth. She is Loyal, and true to her convictions, and she loves her family and friends and lives life wholly and fiercely.

It is hard to believe that it has been 4 years ago today that my Sister was Abducted...Well she was officially considered Missing/Abducted/endangered...on the 11th, but the 10th is the last day anyone saw her.

I feel as though it was yesterday...Time marches on yet it stands so still...

Dori's website is http://dammad.sitesvp.com , please sign my guestbook..if you visit.

If I could wish anything for everyone today..it would be for you to Hug the ones you love a little longer than usual, and tell them you love them...

To Dori...I will NEVER give up sismo, and I will see that justice is done to those involved...I miss you more than ever and in answer to your question about Trisha Yearwoods song "How do I Live"...It is minute by minute...I love you DoeDoe

St. Lucie County woman Dori Ann Myers missing for six years, but family refuses to give up

Posted: 01/11/2012

By: Mike Trim

Six years after a St. Lucie County woman went missing, her family and investigators aren't giving up hope.

The sister of Dori Ann Myers will speak with NewsChannel 5 today about renewing the search.

Myers went missing in January 2006. She was last seen leaving a Fort Pierce bar with two men.

Later that night, her house was set on fire, and neighbors say they saw Meyers car leaving her driveway as it was happening.

Her car was found later that morning 90 miles away, near Lake Okeechobee, destroyed by fire.

Myers hasn't been seen or heard from since.

Investigators released sketches of the two men she may have been with that night.

The first is described as a white man between 25 and 35 years old, weighing 200 pounds.

The other is simply described as a Hispanic or American Indian man.

Anyone with information is asked to contact the St. Lucie County Sheriff's office.
