The family of Bryce Borca, 23, who has been missing for nearly three months, is offering a $30,000 reward for any information about his whereabouts, Eagan police said.

Borca disappeared in the early hours of Oct. 30 after a night with friends. He was attempting to walk home to his Eagan apartment; his last known location was Fort Snelling State Park, at the end of Yankee Doodle Road in Eagan.

On Oct. 30 and again the next day, local, state and federal agencies and 250 volunteers looked for Borca.

His family has described him as "an incredibly kind and thoughtful young man who has touched so many with his selflessness and loyalty."

A Friday news release from the Eagan Police Department contained a statement from his family:

"Over the past 12 weeks, our family has worked closely with the Eagan Police Department to pursue all possible leads and resources in the search for Bryce," the statement said.

The efforts have included hundreds of volunteers, state and federal agencies, professional search teams, canine teams, drones and water sonar equipment, the release said. The search has covered more than 1,000 acres of land and water in and around Fort Snelling.

Police have received and pursued many leads, including surveillance video from the community and businesses, the release said.

"We are devastated by Bryce's disappearance and miss him every minute of every day," the release said.

Anyone with information should call Eagan Police at 651-675-5706.
