Detective Jason Pullappally

In first grade Jason Pullappally wanted to become Batman. Realizing job opportunities were limited, he decided to become a detective, a goal he achieved in 2005. Pullappally worked robbery before transferring to Missing Persons in 2009. Social media is a big part of his investigations. “Many of the missings are on the internet,” he says. “You find out a lot about the person that the family might not be able to tell you.” Pullappally is a music buff, and a huge fan of Tom Jones. He enjoys family time with his wife and two daughters.
