The Truth Commission describes the facts, literally, as follows: Forced Disappearance of the writer In the afternoon of November 9, 1990, Gustavo Garzón Guzmán left this house located in the city of Quito, San Juan sector, to “El Conejo” Publishing House to pick up a check for the publication of a literary piece he has written. At 17:30 he met with Miriam Liliana Vásconez Vaca at the Coffee shop located in Amazonas Avenue and Moreno Bellido and together they went to Quito’s Expo Center from where Francisco Antonio Moreno picked them up an hour later. Together they went to the Construction Chamber to pick up Alfredo Pérez. They then went to the Bar “Tropical” located at the city’s southern part, between the Quijano and Maldonado Streets. They had some drinks there and left around 22:00 to the Discotheque “Son Candela,” at Carrión Street and Reina Victoria where they met Raúl Roberto Ricaurte Rodríguez. At 1:00 Francisco Moreno and Miriam Liliana Vásconez left leaving Gustavo Garzón “in perfect physical and mental health, sober and relaxed.” Gustavo Garzón Guzmán disappeared early in the morning of November 10, 1990; he didn’t make it to his house after he met his friends so his family looked for him in "hospitals, clinics and even the morgue without success". 53 The Truth Commission said this case was attributable to "late antisubversive actions" left from the Presidency of Febres Cordero.54 83.
