It’s mid-September 1982.
The summer is winding down in Worcester and 27-year-old William Garlick and 33-year-old John V.J. Joyce, Jr. hop into William’s 1980 black Corvette for a quick trip up north to Maine.
But they’re not heading to Vacationland for a late-summer getaway.
The two men are on their way to collect a debt of $22,000, likely running an errand to collect money owed to a Worcester-born drug kingpin.
The day after they leave Worcester, Maine State Police find William’s corvette abandoned outside of a shopping mall in Bangor.
William and John were never seen or heard from again.
