William Perez Sr., 27, was last seen in Wilmington, Delaware, on October 2, 1990. He called his wife about 2:30 p.m., saying he would meet her to go shopping; from background noise she thought he was at a bar he frequented, likely the Scoreboard Bar & Grill on Maryland Avenue. He never returned home and his van was found parked near the bar, crooked with its windows rolled down. His wife reported him missing on October 6, 1990.

Investigators later linked the disappearance to James Christopher DeAngelo, who was convicted in 1999. DeAngelo reportedly shot Perez when Perez went to collect a debt at DeAngelo’s home. Perez’s body has never been recovered; authorities believe it may have been buried initially in a shallow grave, then dismembered and discarded in the Christina River. The family continues to seek closure because his remains have not been found.

If anyone has memories of Perez, his routines around Maryland Avenue, or information about that day in October 1990, please share what is known.
