Hi. We're wondering if there are any similar cases to Julie's murder that occurred in 1995. You can read all about her cold case here: http://www.justiceforjulie.org.
On the evening of March 20, 1995, 17-year-old high school student Julie Lynn Ferguson ended her shift at Linens N Things and sat on a flower box located close to the curb while she waited for friends to pick her up. Her ride was set to pick her up around 9:30 p.m. Witnesses saw her as late as 9:50 p.m. She was seen talking to three African Americans (late teens, early 20s) in a red/maroon mid-1980s Jetta. They were never identified, but police would like to speak to them. By 10 p.m., when her friends who were to be her ride arrived, they only saw a can of soda and some bags on the flower box; Ferguson was nowhere to be found. She was declared missing and her body turned up a few miles away, along a secluded road in Glenn Dale, MD early the following morning (around 5:30 a.m.).
* No Sign of Sexual Assault
* Strangled to Death
* Throat Slit
- Ferguson had no known enemies and did not engage in illegal activity.
- The mall where Julie worked is *right next* to a major highway--295. Why did they stay so close to the area of abduction? Our guess is that her killer(s) lived in the area.
- Killer(s) made no attempt to hide her body. Julie was left near the side of the road, in the open. The road she found on was secluded and not fully paved. {Why would they make no attempt to hide her? There was a path and woods close by, but they chose the side of the road).
- The fact that her belongings were left behind makes us think that a) she knew her attacker and willingly got in their car, or b) she was forced in a vehicle and whoever took her was not planning on her surviving this encounter---why was her stuff left behind? Did she leave it thinking she'd be right back? Or was her stuff left because she was forced?
- The mall in question is fairly busy and was back then. The area is also known for its police presence.
- Some belongings of Julie's were found a few miles away from where her body was found--at a major intersection. Why toss her belongings and identification if you aren't trying to hide the identify of the person (ie burying them?)
- Witness saw a red/maroon car on Daisy Lane in the morning of March 21, prior to Ferguson's body being found. Does that mean her attacker(s) had her for 7 hours? What type of criminal would take someone for that long? Obviously a sick one, but does this imply anything about their motive?
We question if her killer(s) knew her or not, how she ended up in their car, etc. Were there similar murders in MD and neighboring states in 1995? Julie was slim, had fair skin, long, black wavy hair and was tall (5'7") with blue eyes.
