Case from 1984 closes QUANTICO, Va. — Two years ago, Patrick Pipkins, Air Force Office of Special Investigations special agent, did what his chief of the OSI Cold Case Team called “some amazing work” to locate an Air Force deserter who went missing in 1984. At the time of her disappearance, it was believed the airman took off with a married man who had parentally kidnapped his 4-year-old son. Neither the airman, the man, nor the son were heard from since 1984. The Air Force, the airman’s family and the son’s mother were left with unanswered questions about the trio’s fate.
