Shortly after that initial meeting, Adam Hecht's family was surprised to learn that he had invited Tony to live with him. They knew that he had a good heart and took time to help the less fortunate, but inviting a homeless person to live with him was concerning. Furthermore, Hecht also brought Tony to family gatherings. His mother understood that he only wanted to help, but she said meeting Tony for the first time scared her. Hecht also started spending even more time visiting the homeless, and he even went as far as staying out in the streets at night, according to Medium. Soon, Hecht started exhibiting strange behavior and gained interest in mysticism, a subject that Tony was into. In one instance, he had burn marks on his hand, and when his family asked about it, he said that it was a test of endurance.
On June 7, 1989, Hecht's brother Harold visited his apartment only to find that his brother wasn't there. Instead, he found Tony, who told him that he didn't know his brother's whereabouts. His BMW was also gone. Harold alerted her mother of the disappearance, and they filed a missing person report. According to Lost & Found, authorities questioned Tony, but he insisted that he didn't know anything about Hecht's disappearance and he was let go. Hecht's family also worked on getting Tony evicted from the apartment.
