Cold case: Reward offered in 1986 case of missing Hilton Head teen

A reward of up to $2,500 is being offered by the Beaufort County Sheriff's Office for information about a Hilton Head Island teen missing since 1986.

Kristina Porco, 16, was reported as a runaway by her mother following a domestic dispute at their Woodlake Villas apartment on Nov. 29, 1986, according to an advisory issued by the sheriff's office Sunday morning.

According to the advisory, Porco stormed out of the apartment after an argument and was not seen again.

A friend who reported receiving a telephone call from Porco after the argument asked the teen to meet her at the apartment complex's pool area.

However, when the friend arrived at the pool area she was unable to locate Porco, but did find the missing teen's red sweater draped over a lawn chair nearby.

Porco left on foot with no money or extra clothing, the advisory stated.

In addition, her savings account, which contained a few hundred dollars, was never accessed after the date of her disappearance.

Shortly after Porco left the apartment, her father allegedly drove around for a few hours looking for the teen.

His whereabouts during that time were never established, according to the advisory.

Anyone with information about this case can contact Capt. Bob Bromage at 843-255-3402 or at the email: robertb@bcgov.net.
