The script which is started (`/usr/local/bin/pflogger.py' in your case)
is responsible to create the pidfile. So you'd need to add code to
pflogger.py to write the pid to /var/run/pflogger.pid when invoked.

However, there's probably a simpler approach: just remove the
pidfile=... line from your rc script; stopping should then work
automatically!
