On July 7th, 1987, Stavro left his house to meet with his friends so they can spend some time together and say goodbye to a friend who was travelling to America. They agreed on going to Fanar to have a few drinks together, yet they were never able to make it. While on their way to Fanar, two armed men in a car made them pull over and step out of their vehicle. After a short while, the two men forced the four boys into their car and they drove off. That day was the last day Stavro was seen or heard about.
