Case Description

Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP51384) and 7 other sources
Julie Elizabeth Soracco, a 15-year-old from Placerville, California, was last seen on August 1, 1977. At the time, Julie had been living with her grandfather in Placerville after previously residing with her mother and sisters in Sacramento. Details surrounding her disappearance are unclear. Family rumors suggest she may have been walking to meet a friend or companion, possibly at a pizza restaurant, but she never arrived at her destination. Julie's disappearance went largely unreported for decades, and she was officially listed as missing only in 2019, over 40 years after she was last seen.

Julie was described as having brown hair and brown eyes, standing between 5'2" and 5'4", and weighing around 120-130 pounds. At the time of her disappearance, she was wearing a royal blue football sweater with the letter "E" on the chest. Despite numerous efforts to locate her, there have been no significant leads, and her case remains unsolved. Authorities have not ruled out the possibility of foul play.

The case is currently being handled by the Sacramento County Sheriff's Office, and investigators continue to seek any information that might shed light on what happened to Julie.
