Watching this now on Diappeared. Isn't it obvious the husband did it? LE just needs evidence.

Years later, DNA testing was performed on items found in Pattys van. The DNA was determined to be female, but did not belong to Patty Vaughan, adding further intrigue to this unsolved case.
SAN ANTONIO - New DNA findings in the 1996 Christmas Day disappearance of Patty Vaughan are being reported by the Bexar County Sheriffs Office, pointing to an unknown female in the victims van.
I was very surprised, didnt expect that at all, said Deputy Adrian Ramirez with the BCSO cold case homicide unit.

Ramirez said undisclosed items found in the van had been tested before, but the latest DNA science pointed to a female not related to the victim.
He said it was someone who could have assisted with her disappearance and was in the van at one time.
For 20 years, a key suspect in the case was Patty's ex-husband, JR Vaughan. But her family feels it's no longer about pinning blame.
"I don't care," Kiolbassa "I don't care. It's not about that anymore. I wouldn't care if he didn't spend a night in jail." Greiner said that instead, their efforts are focused on bringing Patty home.
Vaughan's family would also like to see her children come home one more time. They've been estranged from their mother's family since their mother's murder in 1996. "If anything, I think her children should come forward and maybe help put some pieces of the puzzle together and I'm a little frustrated that they haven't," Greiner said.
That frustration is growing deep as Patty's mother, Patsy, is also dying of cancer. "She is just barely hanging on and I truly believe that the only thing that keeps that woman alive is the hope that we will find Patty's body and bring her home and give her a decent burial," Kiolbassa. This year, an old lead gave the family new hope: a report of something strange growing in a riverbed. The tip came in near the same location an eyewitness told authorities they saw Patty's car and a man running away. But the clue provided little progress in the case.
Vaughan's family, however, has a strong feeling she's buried in a place they'll never be able to access -- underneath a school in Pleasanton. "(JR) was in charge when the concrete was poured," Greiner said. Kiolbassa said that Patty's estranged husband knew once the school was built, they would never tear it up.
He was the last one to see her
Of courseHe was upset she started seeing an ex boyfriend
There is blood evidence in the home in several places along with ON A MOP used to clean up the blood in the home!
Blood evidence in van is Patty's even tho the vans carpet was still wet from an attempt to clean it.

They only NOW decided to look at that piece of evidence?????? WTH???
Hoppy
It says DNA from an unknown female not related to Patty. It doesn’t not say blood from another female unrelated to PattyFirst time heard about that, so the blood in the van did not belong to Patty, was there large amount blood? guest not since the detective said it was someone who could have assisted with her disappearance and was in the van at one time. , that was a little bit stretch of the logic here, if you found some small amount of blood in a van, it only proves some unknown woman bled in the van, and later tried to clean the blood stain, it does not prove that woman was involved a murder case
