SHARON, Pa. -- John Koborie may be going to New York City to look for his daughter, missing since Tuesday when a hijacked airliner slammed into the World Trade Center where she worked.
Koborie and his wife, Julianne, of Trumbull Drive, last spoke with their daughter two weeks ago and have been unable to contact her since the terrorist attack that destroyed the World Trade Center in Manhattan.
Rebecca Koborie, 48, who now lives in New Jersey, was last seen by a neighbor leaving for work Tuesday morning.
Employer: She was employed by Marsh Inc. Insurance Agencies and worked on the 97th floor of the World Trade Center.
Her office was in the tower struck by the first airplane, her father said.
"All we heard is that she's missing, but we already knew that," Koborie said, explaining that he and his wife got a call from their daughter's employer telling them she was among the missing and that they might want to go to New York to look for her.
Koborie said he planned to call a New York missing person hot line number provided by his daughter's employer today to begin searching for her. Depending on the results of that call, he may go to New York City, he said.
Public pleas: If he does, he will be among hundreds of people walking the streets of Manhattan carrying pictures of missing loved ones and asking for help in finding them. Some of them have managed to make their pleas on national television while being interviewed by reporters on the scene.
Family and friends have been checking in but no one has heard from Rebecca and no one has been able to reach her, Koborie said.
During a telephone conversation with his daughter two weeks ago, she told him she planned to come home for a visit Oct. 17, he said.
She only gets back to Sharon once or twice a year, he said, noting she last visited for two weeks in February when he underwent surgery.
Rebecca Koborie, who is divorced, has no children. She is a 1971 graduate of Sharon High School.
