Narrative:
Near the conclusion of an IFR flight from venice, fl, to ft pierce, fl, I asked ZMA for the ILS approach to runway 9 at ft pierce. ZMA issued 'turn right, heading 090 degrees, descend to and maintain 2000 ft till established, cleared the approach.' I advised when established on the localizer. ZMA advised me to contact tower and radar service terminated. I reported to ft pierce tower, 'on the ILS inbound for runway 9.' ft pierce tower cleared me to land and to report the OM. At this time, I saw a twin (possibly a king air) who had overtaken me and was above me approximately 100 ft, and slightly right with his landing gear down. I reported to the tower that there were 2 of us on final for runway 9. The tower responded by calling the twin to ask if he saw me. The twin reported 'negative.' then, without warning, the twin moved laterally to my right, crossing above and in front of me. The twin then reported that he saw me, and that he 'would go around.' I continued my approach and landed. At no time did ZMA advise me of other traffic nearby. How could 2 aircraft be on final at the same time for the same runway and the tower not be aware of it?

Title: PA28 ON FINAL CALLS ATTN TO FPR TWR TO VALIDATE IF OTHER INBOUND ACFT HAS HIM IN SIGHT. MOMENTS LATER, OTHER ACFT EXECUTES A GAR. PA28 HAS NMAC WITH GAR ACFT.
Narrative: NEAR THE CONCLUSION OF AN IFR FLT FROM VENICE, FL, TO FT PIERCE, FL, I ASKED ZMA FOR THE ILS APCH TO RWY 9 AT FT PIERCE. ZMA ISSUED 'TURN R, HDG 090 DEGS, DSND TO AND MAINTAIN 2000 FT TILL ESTABLISHED, CLRED THE APCH.' I ADVISED WHEN ESTABLISHED ON THE LOC. ZMA ADVISED ME TO CONTACT TWR AND RADAR SVC TERMINATED. I RPTED TO FT PIERCE TWR, 'ON THE ILS INBOUND FOR RWY 9.' FT PIERCE TWR CLRED ME TO LAND AND TO RPT THE OM. AT THIS TIME, I SAW A TWIN (POSSIBLY A KING AIR) WHO HAD OVERTAKEN ME AND WAS ABOVE ME APPROX 100 FT, AND SLIGHTLY R WITH HIS LNDG GEAR DOWN. I RPTED TO THE TWR THAT THERE WERE 2 OF US ON FINAL FOR RWY 9. THE TWR RESPONDED BY CALLING THE TWIN TO ASK IF HE SAW ME. THE TWIN RPTED 'NEGATIVE.' THEN, WITHOUT WARNING, THE TWIN MOVED LATERALLY TO MY R, XING ABOVE AND IN FRONT OF ME. THE TWIN THEN RPTED THAT HE SAW ME, AND THAT HE 'WOULD GO AROUND.' I CONTINUED MY APCH AND LANDED. AT NO TIME DID ZMA ADVISE ME OF OTHER TFC NEARBY. HOW COULD 2 ACFT BE ON FINAL AT THE SAME TIME FOR THE SAME RWY AND THE TWR NOT BE AWARE OF IT?
