On March 20, 1987 (Friday), at about 10:00 pm, an informant, also an organizer for PnB-Navotas and Jaime Lopez's companion that night, said that they were going home then, and they took a jeep going to Monumento. He, the informant, gets off first in Monumento, and he notices two men following him up to the Victory Liner Bus Station. So he took another different route, and he noticed that the men in a green car (driven by two men) were still following him. He ran and ran until his followers lost him.
Since then he has not heard of Jaime. Jaime's relatives, on the other hand, said that Jaime did not return home that night and has not returned since then. According to a witness, the jeep that Jaime was riding was blocked by seven armed men. The passengers were so shocked that they thought it was a holdup. A set of police were found in the corner of Rizal Avenue at EDSA, around ten meters away from the jeep that Jaime was riding.
One of the armed men pointed his .45-caliber pistol at Jaime while holding the driver of the jeep. One of the passengers, who was later found out to be Jaime, was ordered to stand up by the armed men and was searched. Then Jaime forcibly alighted from the jeep. He said that "Sandali lang may pilay ako." He was then pushed in a maroon car that was parked near the Jeep. Other witnesses said that the car sped to the Valenzuela area, while two red cars that were parked at the Liwasan ng Monumento followed.
Since then, Jaime Lopez's whereabouts have been unknown.
