Delatorre left his residence on the evening of March 8, 2000 around 2000 hours after calling for a ride from a taxi cab. It was later learned that the cab driver drove Delatorre to Orlando, Florida near Disney World. Delatorre was left at a plaza near Interstate 4. Delatorre made a phone call from the phone booth and told that taxi cab to leave and he would be returning to West Palm Beach on the following day via greyhound bus. There has been no contact with Delatorre since.
