Patrick Mullins was found nine days after he went missing in the Manatee River in Florida. At the time, no one could have imagined that there would still be more questions than answers.
After all, as seen in Netflix’s “Unsolved Mysteries: Body in the Bay,” it’s still not clear if the 52-year-old man who seemed happy was brutally killed or if he killed himself. But for now, if you just want to know more about his wife and son, who are the most vocal about what they see as pure justice in this case, we have the information you need.
Who is Patrick Mullins’s wife? Who are his children?
Patrick and Jill had a spark while they were both at the University of Florida in the late 1970s or early 1980s, but their relationship soon turned into something much more. So, they got married on June 18, 1983, and were very happy about it. They settled down to build a stable home in the beautiful city of Bradenton, and eventually had two boys. In fact, as far as we can tell, Mason McCaffery Mullins was born in the middle to late 1980s, and Miles Patrick Mullins came along just two years later to round out the family.
So, not only were Patrick and Jill getting close to their 30th wedding anniversary, which was a big deal for them, but their sons were also 26 and 24 when their lives turned upside down. Mason was an Army infantryman on his second deployment to Afghanistan. Miles, on the other hand, was a student at the University of South Florida in Tampa, working on his Bachelor’s in civil engineering. So, when Jill found out Patrick was missing, she called Miles. Patrick’s father was the most careful person Miles knew, and Miles grew up with him as a caring but adventurous figure, so he thought Patrick would be back soon.
But Jill’s second worried call around 11 p.m. that same night, January 27, 2013, raised some serious concerns and told the young person to drive home right away. The next day, the only thing found was the small boat where Patrick was last seen alive. But no one gave up hope. Even his wife thought, “I wished he’d be found alive, but I really prayed he’d just be found, because at least an answer is an answer.” Unfortunately, she hasn’t gotten the closure she’s been looking for since Patrick was found shot; the cause of his death is still undetermined, but she and their sons think it was a murder.

Where Are His Wife and Children Now?
Leslie, Jill, and Miles continue to fight for Patrick to this day because of the possible pieces of evidence, Damon Crestwood’s supposed role in the case, and the officials’ rush to stick to the possible suicide story. In fact, over the years, the former has made a number of public appearances and given interviews, both to keep people interested in her husband’s case and to shed light on how the police system works. The librarian, who was proud to have the same job as Patrick, once said, “It’s hard to talk about, but it’s also a relief.” “It’s pretty sad that the world keeps going, but it has to.”
As for where they are now, Jill lives in Parrish, Florida, and Miles seems to be working as a Project Manager in the Columbus, Ohio, area, from what we can tell. Mason seems to still be in the army, and all three of them like to keep their personal lives out of the public eye these days. Still, it’s important to know that the Mullins family is giving a $20,000 reward for any information that leads to an arrest and conviction in the case. So, if you know anything, please call the Manatee County Sheriff’s Office at 941-747-3011 or dial 941-705-8575.
