For about 10 years I couldn't say his name.

I just said my brother or him.

I couldn't even say his name. Like I avoided it because it was so raw. Mark Joyil Myers was 11 years old when he lost his big brother, 18 year old Robert Joyil.

More than two decades have passed since that night in April 1998,

when someone ended Rob's life in a Portland main parking lot.

Now, Mark is a voice for the brother he lost who can no longer speak for himself. Mark is also a voice for the hundreds of other

victims and families whose lives were upended by violent crime.

At this point in my life, it's not that there's not grief because I still feel hurt and I still feel sadness.

But what I've learned as I've gotten older is that the best thing I can do to honor Rob and to maybe take some of the weight off somebody's shoulders down the road is to be honest and up front and open about what this actually means.

What does it mean when somebody is murdered?

I'm Kylie Lowe and this is the unsolved case of Robert Joyil part one, told by his little brother Mark Joyil Myers on Dark Down East.

Robert Joyle's case is still unsolved.

Many witnesses chose not to come forward, but it's been 23 years.

Gorham High School and during high school classes of 1997, 1998, and 1999.

Do you have any information about Robert Joel's murder?

Anyone with information is asked to please contact Portland

Maine Police Detective Jeff Tully at 207-874

8550 or the anonymous tip line at 207 874 8584. Mark Joyle Myers might be an adult now, but when he talks about his big brother Robert Joyle, you can hear

that admiration and pride that he's felt for his charismatic, funny, athletic

older brother since he was just a kid.

He loved being around people and making him laugh and

my brother could make friends with anybody which I always just really looked up to him in that regard.
