On October 2nd 1990, before William Perez's disappearance, he made two calls. The first call (approx. 2:25pm) was to arrange a meeting to see a friend at the Scoreboard Bar and Grill at 500 Maryland Avenue, where Mr. Perez was a regular. The second call was to his wife from a pay phone; he said he would be home shortly to take her shopping. She believes he was in the bar when he called her because of the background noise.
