Cold Case Files: Daddy Dearest/A Pastor’s Wife


The day after Thanksgiving in 1994, 38-year-old Luz Mucino and her teenage daughters Edith and Gabriela are reported missing by a friend. And since Luz Mucino and her daughters were undocumented aliens, detectives cannot locate any family members who might be able to provide information.

On May 15, 1999, 38-year-old Patty Jo Pulley is reported missing by her husband, Rick Pulley, a local pastor of the River of Life Church in Ringgold, VA. The next day, Patty Jo's truck is found locked and abandoned on the side of a road.

A search ensues, but Patty Jo is nowhere to be found and little evidence is gained from the truck. Pittsylvania County Investigator Keith Isom heads up to the Pulley home to see if there is anything he can do to help.
