Single mother Patti Adkins had a great job and was working to get her life on track. But there was one dark secret she was hiding: Patti was dating a married man and gave him around $90,000 so they could run off and be together. Patti planned a trip with her mysterious boyfriend and left with him after work one day never to be seen again. Years later, “True Crime News” confronts the man at his home for answers, but the case remains unsolved.
Mom runs off with married boyfriend and disappears

Total set up.
I believe the wife and husband set her up and either killed her or sex trafficked
So, sad. Don't trust anyone
I'll never get over how this asshole has not been arrested YET! WOW, JUST WOW.
I don't believe in luck changed vocabulary speech it sad how people can harm innocent family.
she knew it was a snake when she picked it up
Why? Why did he disappear her? Well, because he and his wife didn’t want to payback the 90 grand.
Why didn’t you call the police? When you had suspicion.
I hope this cold case gets solved soon so the family can get clouser snd justice
Why sister has a weird sound eww
Other than that, like I said, I would probably do something probably do whatever I could to help my friend out
If my friend is in need of some money to help him out or to help her out
I would definitely do whatever I could to help out with a friend that I really really really liked
Because that’s who I am right I do have friends that live further way
That I make handmade cards for from scratch you know
But that being said, I wouldn’t get into the very very very back of somebody’s pick up truck
Because I know that’s illegal so I would know right there that I would definitely not be doing that
You know, cause I would know right there that something would be off about that
So that would be a reason why I would pull back from that person if they asked me to get in the very back of the pick up truck
And then hide underneath the blankets it’s like
I would think that right there was strange you know I would be kind of creeped out myself
This is like a grant greentree and Simon Levive type
Where they slowly gain your trust then ask for money in person
This isn’t your typical online scam where you have not met that person at all
No this is totally different scenario altogether
So of course you can see this type of scam coming? I mean who could have ever seen this coming?
Nobody not a single person would see this coming, Nobody would know they’re lives were in danger
Like nobody knows Simon would do the things he did to them innocent people know
And nobody knows Grant geeentree would be the type of person he isn’t either
So yeah you can’t blame someone from wanting to help out a person they think they can trust,
That’s different. I think I would do the same thing if I met somebody and I was interested in being friends with them.
If I really really really liked them and they told me that they were going through a rough time and they had to use a food bank and Salvation Army to get by
Like if somebody told me if I got to know somebody and they told me that
They had to go on the the North Bay group to ask for stuff from random people because they didn’t have the money to get stuff they need for their family
And I knew that person and I got to know them personally
I would do whatever I could to help them out I really would you know I really would pour my heart out there for that person
And you can’t blame me for that you can’t blame anybody for doing that honestly you can’t
Most people were not allow that person to keep the family business and still make money off customers, especially if he’s doing things like that to his wife
So in most cases, yeah, they would lose their job and they would lose the business
And of course, Patty would want to help this person out she didn’t want him to lose his business
You know she probably thought maybe his wife isn’t a good person so she thought that she was helping somebody who she really really really liked and trusted with her heart
She gave him money out of the kindness of her heart, This isn’t like a regular online scammer
This is somebody she obviously got to know and really, really really liked
Like this isn’t somebody who messed with her emotions online and meanwhile, she had never met him at all like
No, she worked with him so she knew him personally so of course she wanted to help him out
He’s told her that he was gonna lose his business, if his wife found out that he was dating her
And from majority of people, it’s like that would be honestly true because
Look if you’re married to somebody and you know their family member told them that they were dating the person that you were married to
Of course you would be mad and of course he will lose his business
Most people would not put up with that
This is somebody who she became friends with at work over a long period of time
This is obviously somebody she trusted and really, really really liked
And I would probably do the same thing as well if I became friends with somebody that I really really really liked
You know if I met somebody and they said that they were hard on money that they had to use the food bank and the Salvation Army to get by
Can you blame me for not wanting to help them out?
And you know what, to any of you who thought that she could’ve just walked away
That she should’ve known not to give money
How can he get away so easily when everyone knows his involvement
Vocal fry is really off putting. I try to ignore it, but I just cannot unhear it.
Cops always say” follow the money”
Me says” yeah ok to where? Probably the most expensive things money can buy is another woman”
lol but that is about all that money can buy someone is another lover
But no amount of money can be kindness, compassion, and happiness,
Pattie was just that a happy go lucky person at heart
RIP Pattie I am sure one day you’ll be found and your family will have justice for you
Brian Flowers is his name! Name him!
So rideshare friend didn’t know about her hiding in the back? Maybe "boyfriend" has others who helped with her disappearance. Money may be hidden; how successful is his side business (couldn't investigators find more clues by those lies and what she told friends?) Does wife believe or support her husband in whatever he says? Do they have extra money to afford lawyer? Many questions need answers and not just words.
so she is so in love that she leaves her beloved child to dive into the back of some dudes dirty pickup truck??? wtf? how stupid is that!!! obviously the dude n his wife played her for money
Has the cops ever thought about obtaining a warrant to get access to his cellphone data? Could give insight on where he went ?
Love is blind. Desire is stupid.
Why do these idiots keep dating married men or women? Oh well, another murder from a married person.
If you have to hid in the bed of a pickup truck and not ride in the front. That is a very big red flag not to do it!
Midnight is not the witching hour
I believe this Brian flowers this is the name everyone keeps saying was her boyfriend. I think he did it and I believe his wife was 100% involved. They did it to get money from her and then they murdered her when she wanted her money back.
If you know his wife can not trust him then you should know that you can not trust him either.
Patti sure lived life like a Candle in the Wind.
Too many people think they can play with fire and not get burned.
What about work? Says she was a no-show for a family barbecue a week later work didn't miss her?!?! that doesn't make sense
I feel for her daughter and Patti's family. Patti was in love and fell very hard to a married man. I don't understand why the police didn't look deeper into this married man and his wife. Something sounds very fishy. RIP Patti you didn't deserve this.
🤷♀️
her biggest problem was herself.
She was so beautiful
I can tell she had very bad taste in men, tough😢
It’s truly sad how desperate people want love.
Stupid
What did we learn? Never be a side lover ❤
You reap what you sow
Saw this story on forensic files and they named him. Wonder if he’s still married to the wife. She might break someday
Crazy how these beyond cowards are buying gas next to you. Getting a candy bar etc. they are out there smh wild.
