    Two artists who shared a Pearl Street loft vanish on the night of a rent-strike letter

    Camden Sylvia, 36, and Michael Sullivan, 54, both artists, shared a fifth-floor loft at 76 Pearl Street. They were last seen on November 7, 1997, returning a rented video near City Hall, hours after Sylvia gave landlord Richard Rodriguez a letter threatening a rent strike over heat. Police focused on Rodriguez but found nothing linking him to the pair, and no trace of them has ever been found.
