In 1984 and '85, San Antonio taxi drivers were terrorized by the murder of one cabbie and the disappearance of two others over an eight-month period. Driver Pete Lozano was killed in his cab during November 1984, and the unknown assailant was still at large when 68-year-old Julio Villanueva was reported missing on June 17, 1985. His privately-owned cab was found in a Brooksville, Florida, parking lot on July 4, and two days later, searchers acting on a self-styled psychic's tip recovered Villanueva's missing briefcase. In the meantime, driver Luis Salazar, age 32, had last been seen in San Antonio on the night of July 5, reported missing by his girlfriend two days later. At this writing, no trace of the missing taxi drivers has been discovered, and the identity of their assailant remains a mystery.
