SOUTH BEND INDIANA VIVIAN BORYSIAK MISSING


Without a Trace



SOUTH BEND, IN -- As rescuers finished searching under one and then another pond near Vivian Borysiak's home on Saturday, her disappearance remained as puzzling as ever. "We have not developed any new leads," said Rick Ruszkowski, an investigator with the South Bend Police Department. Police have been looking for the missing 54-year-old woman since Feb. 3.


On Saturday, they finished searching an icy pond directly behind her condominium in the 1500 block of Wildflower Way. After finding no trace of Borysiak or her dog in that pond, which is three or four acres in size, police on Saturday also searched in another pond across the road.


They made multiple holes in the thick ice surface and lowered underwater cameras to no avail.
Normally, Ruszkowski said, police can rule out one or more "scenarios" in an investigation.


But in this case there has been so little evidence uncovered that a number of theories are still possible: that Borysiak was abducted; that she was killed and her death was "staged"; or that she perished accidentally.


Capt. Phil Trent, a spokesman for the South Bend Police Department, said police have reviewed security tapes inside the condominium complex. The videos, however, do not show images of Borysiak. "At this point (the videos) are not showing any particularly suspicious activity," he said.


Trent said police have not received many calls regarding Borysiak's disappearance, which points to the likelihood that no one has seen her and that she may never have left the complex.
On Monday, police plan to continue their search using scent dogs. Ruszkowski said the search would continue until Borysiak is found.

I was just wondering if Vivian Borysiak had two sons by the names of Stephan and Robert. I went to school with them and wanted to offer my prayers for the safe return of their mother. However, I am not sure if they are related. If you know, please email me at nursetyania@hotmail.com. Thank you.
