A 3 year old girl's remains are discovered nearly a year after she was abducted
Three-year-old Julie Magiulo was last seen alive on June 8, 1987, playing in the front yard of her home in Pompano Beach, Florida. Nearly a year later, on April 21, 1988, her skeletal remains were discovered by two men scouting for hunting land in an undeveloped area of Broward County, now known as Weston. According to the authorities, Julie had been asphyxiated, but her case remains unsolved to this day.
Julie’s disappearance left her family and the community devastated. Described as a bright, lively child, Julie was abducted without a trace, prompting a long search and investigation that sadly ended when her remains were found almost a year later. The area where her body was located was near what was then called Binocular Lake. Despite thorough investigations, no suspects have been identified, and there were no clear signs of how Julie ended up in that location. Her family has struggled for closure, with the case still being listed as unsolved decades later.
The authorities and advocacy groups like Crime Solvers Central and Uncovered have continued to seek justice for Julie. They encourage anyone with information that could potentially help solve the case to come forward. The FBI has also offered a reward in the hopes of generating new leads that might bring closure to Julie's family and ensure justice for her tragic death. The involvement of the public is crucial in such cold cases to shed light on the circumstances and hold those responsible accountable for their actions.
