In the early morning hours of February 1, 1982, 29-year-old Julie Buffie vanished from her apartment in New Westminster, British Columbia. She was a resident of a building in the 1000 block of 4th Avenue. For reasons that remain unknown, it is believed she left her home and has not been seen or heard from since. At the time of her disappearance, Julie was described as being 5'9" tall and weighing 111 pounds, with blonde hair and blue eyes. The circumstances surrounding her departure from her apartment are unclear, and there was no indication as to where she might have been going.
Very few details are publicly available regarding the timeline of events on the day Julie Buffie disappeared. It is thought that she may have been wearing brown corduroy pants and a distinctive “Indian sweater” that had a snowflake design on the back.
The lack of information about her intended destination or any potential travel plans has made the investigation into her disappearance particularly challenging for law enforcement. Over the years, her case has remained open, but no significant leads have emerged to shed light on what might have happened to her after she left her residence that winter morning.
The disappearance of Julie Buffie has left her family and the community with unanswered questions for decades. With very little information to go on, the case has grown cold, yet the hope for resolution persists. Investigators have the New Westminster Police case number 1982-1716 assigned to her file. The overview of this case is that of a young woman who disappeared without a trace from her home. The absence of evidence and witnesses has created a void of information, leaving a lingering sense of mystery and sorrow for those who knew her and for a community that has not forgotten.Last Seen: Feb 1, 1982
