The US Police are looking for Patrick J. Pespas, protagonist of the well-known HBO Max documentary Telemarketers or The Telemarketers Scam, in which Pespas uncovered the scam that was hidden behind a New Jersey company that supposedly raised money for charities.
According to the directors of the docuseries, Adam Bhala Lough and Sam Lipman-Stern, Pespas was last seen on Friday night and has not been seen or heard from since then. He disappeared from his home in Easton, Pennsylvania, where he was last seen around eight p.m.
“Pat is missing, and Sue, his family and friends are very worried about him,” explained co-director Adam Bhala Lough in a post on X. And asked for help in locating him: “Please spread the word that Pat is missing and help us find it.”
Pespas was last seen in his white Ford Mustang and is believed to be somewhere in New Jersey, Bhala claims. However, it is not the first time that Pespas has disappeared. Long ago, after the closure of Civic Development Group, the company he worked for, Lipman-Stern searched for him for a long time. Some time later he discovered that the man had walked away from everything to kick his drug addiction.
Pespas, 55, and co-director Sam Lipman-Stern worked at CDG. The company was dedicated to raising funds for charities, but in reality it supposedly pocketed people’s donations, which they denounced in their docuseries, acquiring great importance in the US.
