INDIAN RIVER COUNTY — The search is on for an endangered woman who was last seen Thursday at a home in Vero Beach.
Deputies said Karen Borchardt left a home on foot about 4:30 p.m. Thursday in the 7800 block of 14th Lane. She didn’t live at the home and deputies think Borchardt hitchhiked a ride south.
Neither her age nor her address were available.
