Vital Statistics
Circumstances of Disappearance:
When her husband got home from work at 6:30 p.m., McCully wasn't home. He spent the night waiting for her and calling her friends and family to see if anyone had heard from her. The next day he called the police to report her missing. The Volkswagen was discovered unlocked and abandoned at an apartment complex in the 8600 block of Research Boulevard, five a half miles from McCully's last known location, two days after she went missing. It was unlocked. The white rope that had previously been used to hold the hood down after its latch broke was no longer on the car when it was found.
Additional Details:
McCully's vehicle was an off-white 1965 Volkswagen Beetle with a faded orange hood and a bumper that was missing prior to her going missing. McCully's vehicle was in good working order and her husband was a mechanic. When the police recovered the vehicle, they were able to start the car and drive it with no problems. McCully's keys and her purse with $170 in cash were missing from the vehicle. McCully was employed with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and was a former vocational nurse.
