Janis Pulliam, a 43-year-old Caucasian mother and secretary, left a note for her children on July 10, 1989 saying she was going on a short trip with a special friend and was last seen about noon that day. Five days later, on July 15, 1989, her body was found floating in Elephant Butte Lake, New Mexico. Her white Mercedes was recovered abandoned on July 20, 1989 in the parking lot of a Hilton Hotel in Albuquerque.

No suspects have ever been officially identified. The special friend mentioned in her note has not been identified. Her recent divorce prompted speculation about her ex-husband, but no evidence tying him to the death has been reported. There has also been unverified speculation about a possible connection to David Parker Ray, but no definitive link has been established.

Does anyone have information about Janis Pulliam’s movements in July 1989 or knowledge of who the special friend might have been?
