Julie had been missing since around 1:30pm on Wed. 01/23/2024.

Around 12:30 on Wednesday 01/23 Julie came in (mother's home), dumped her purse out, grabbed keys and an ATM card, and possibly a California temporary lic., put the rest back into the purse, and left, never saying where she was going. Per her Mom's caregiver, Julie had done that several times before but always returned in 2-3 hours. On 01/23 Julie never returned.

Julie left her cell phone, purse, $100 bill, three un-cashed checks, and took no extra clothing. Julie doesn't go anywhere without her phone.

Julie's job staple has been traveling around the country cleaning warbird, airshow, and small general aviation airplanes. Julie's customers include some of the very best air show performers in the country.

Julie made plans to clean airplanes Thursday and Friday, and to have her Mom's dog groomed. She never showed up for the cleaning appointments and never called to cancel, which is completely uncharacteristic of Julie. But clearly she made near-term commitments, never cancelled them, and never showed up. Completely uncharacteristic of Julie.

Per the caregiver at the mother's house when Julie left as told to me (Person Reporting) at least twice, a text notification "I'm waiting' popped up on the locked screen after Julie left.

Julie's car needed repairs and I think tires. Julie would never leave for a long distance drive with a car that needed work.

Julie's been known to take off for a few days of "Julie time", but in the past per those I asked she always told someone where she was going before she left or within a few days. And she'd never leave unprepared at least to an extent, and always took her phone.

Julie's Facebook posts stopped suddenly after she left on 01/23. Not like her.

I (Person Reporting) spoke with Julie on 01/21 for about 45 minutes. It was a better-than-usual conversation and she didn't indicate, nor did I detect, anything wrong.
