On Saturday, Adam Bhala Lough, one of the series’ co-directors, posted on social media that Pespas has been missing since Friday. On Sunday, he posted that Pespas was last seen leaving a bar in Pittsburgh around 10 p.m. Saturday.

Lough said that Pespas was last known to have been driving a white Mustang with New Jersey plates.

However, Lt. Matthew Gerould with the Easton Police Department in Pennsylvania told The Los Angeles Times on Monday that the department does not believe the report of Pespas leaving a Pittsburgh bar to be accurate. Gerould said the department believes Pespas is most likely still in the Easton area or in New Jersey.

In the docuseries “Telemarketers,” two office workers stumble upon the truth of their work at a telemarketing center and are determined to expose the industry. Pespas and Sam Lipman-Stern are the two men featured in the show. They worked together at a telemarketing center in the early 2000s.

The pair began making a documentary project as they investigated a company. That project became “Telemarketers,”

The three-part series aired on HBO from Aug. 13 to Aug. 27.

In his initial post from Saturday, Bhala Lough asked the public to send tips to findpatpespas@gmail.com. Easton Police have asked anybody with information on Pespas’ whereabouts to call 911.
