I'm so sorry to hear this. I hope they apprehend the monster that murdered Julia.
You can tell her father is dedicated to her and he must be devastated.

It seems as though the husband has been very tight lipped. Actually, I don't think that I have read a single bit of info about him or from him. Sounds very mysterious. Does anyone know how long were they married?

There were known problems within the family:

Police Reports about Missing Sparta Woman Obtained by WZZM13 News
Here's a part of the story:
"Since 2001 police have gone there numerous times, for eight separate incidents.
They've responded to everything from a neighborly dispute over a dog, to child custody issues, to aggravated assault.
Eight incidents, but no arrests.
In one report Julia accuses a relative of coming to her house and quote .. "yelling in her face, telling her that he was going to kill her.." because of a dispute over a car.
In another incident police are called when Julia and an acquaintance get into a fight, where they were quote "..scratching and pulling hair while they were rolling around."
In more than one instance over a two year period people at the house were asked to take polygraph tests.
Once after the fight, another time after a break-in at the house that resulted in thousands of dollars in stolen property. "

It also sounds like a very volatile family. Odd, too, that there were no details released about her disappearance in terms of whether she had her purse, any personal belongings missing, etc. How far away was her car from her body? Anybody know?

I_Harm, do you know the family personally? It sounds like there was a lot of drama going on. Why was there so much fighting? Was it over the husband, money, drugs?? What kind of custody battle? Who fathered her children? I thought they were by the husband. Was he married before?
Something doesn't feel rigth about this whole case. I hate to say or even think it but i have a funny feeling about the Husband. The fact that the police are being very tight lipped about things such as if her purse was with her or not tells me that they might have a pretty good idea who did this an dare waiting and watchign the person they suspect. Just my thoughts on the case.
So sad that these things happen, her poor children have to now grow up with out a Mother.

My daughter was good friends with her in school. In fact they lost touch with each other because of the Husband. Julia's family isn't violent at all. They are very giving caring people. The husband wouldn't let her have anything to do with her family for the last 3 years. Does that sound controling or what?! He had a child from a previous marrage. He lost custody and visitation with that child because of his violent behaviours. She had 1 son from a previous, and 1 with him. I think the grandparents need to attain custody of the boys at this time to protect them. He isn't smart from what I can gleen from people. I don't want to go into to much detail and risk giving him ideas.
Her car was found about 3 blocks from her house and her body was found 12 miles from her car. She was dumped on US 131 about a week before she was found. They think she was dead about that long also. So you do the math, she was kept alive for awhile. I don't think any of her personal belongings were missing from her home. I don't know about the car. The cops are being quiet about it.
