As Patty’s family searched for her, a trial was taking place far away in Lubbock. It was a murder case with no body, but because their was blood evidence and other circumstantial evidence, it resulted in convictions. Patty Vaughan’s case arguably has more circumstantial evidence. Also, things were tense between Patty’s family and her estranged husband JR, resulting in assaults, one, perhaps, more understandable than the other. The search for Patty and the longing for justice has taken its toll on her family, and also taken a toll on former Bexar County Sheriff’s Office Investigator Adrian Ramirez, who worked the case as a young crime scene technician and again as a seasoned cold case detective.
