Yay!! Got an ad at the beginning!! I've never been so happy to watch a full RUclips ad in my life lol
With dodgy funeral homes like that, who needs crazy boyfriends!? What a mess.
This is terrible. I had a friend who had Cystic Fibrosis, got double lung transplant which unfortunately, rejected so she passed away. I like to think that she was able to experience how to breathe easy before she passed. My heart goes out to Julie's family. Just so sad.
Cat LaB so sad:/ I have cystic fibrosis but I got lucky and I'm super healthy
Double lung transplant? Damn! I didnt even know that was a thing! We do live in somewhat of a golden age.......technology wise anyway, common sense and intelligence seem to be doing the exact opposite. I'm sorry to hear your friends immune system rejected the new lungs but the simple fact that they could even attempt to do a double lung transplant is mind boggling to me.
I have cf too. Sucks. This case has bugged me from day one. :(
Cat LaB I had a friend that unfortunately passed away from CF. She was actually one of the oldest living CF patients in Texas at the age of 42.
I know a girl who had a double lung transplant for CF as well! She's in her mid-20's, and currently healthy; she says it's the best thing that ever happened to her, as she'd be dead by now without it. Instead her life expectancy has been more than doubled. It's still nowhere near the average for a Canadian woman, but living past 20 means a lot to her! CF is such a brutal, evil disease. Even though I've got quite severe asthma and related problems, I can't begin to imagine how people with CF can cope with what they have to live through. You all have my deepest admiration, just for making it from one day to the next!
I have cystic fibrosis but I'm one of the lucky ones.. it's so sad to hear about people dying through this disease because part of me feels guilty.
I sincerely hope you're well. Please don't feel guilty. You're as much of a victim of the disease as anyone else who suffers from it.💖🙏🏽
Some sick, evil people in this world.
are you gay? shes super hot, bro. you know youd tap that, dead or alive.
It's only a Class A misdemeanor to abuse a corpse? I actually had to look it up and can't believe it. That's ridiculous.
well, theres really no victim...
you guys only care cus shes hot. if it were an old black man, youd just think its funny.
sooner or later, youll be able to admit that to yourself.
Scorch428 you are SICK
No kidding!
Good morning John! This might be one of the weirdest cases that I have ever heard... Who in the hell would ever take a body from a funeral home?! God have mercy on their soul. Another great Brain Scratch John, thank you!
And how would no one notice the person stealing the body?
Why would the funeral home deny so adamantly that they don't deal with a third party? For what purpose?
Because they don't want to be associated with that third party, either because of their slippery practices, or because of somebody who works/worked there?
Not a family business then
I LOVE longgg videos on your channel!!
Crystal Velasquez agree
John, you have such a big heart, little things like putting info about cystic fibrosis in description, so nice. This is such a sad story. It comes to my mind that if the funeral home had anything to do with it, wouldn't they just give the family "fake" ashes to cover their own butts? Another thing, could someone have stolen her body for medical research? With jewelry being left behind, that kind of makes sense. As horrible as that sounds it could be possible. I pray that this lovely young woman is brought home to her family. Great job John. Xoxo
You do make a good point here. They absolutely could have just not said a word and given them either someone else's ashes or fake ashes and they would have never been the wiser...hmm...makes me wonder because my theory was the boyfriend is creepy as hell but he didnt take her...and the funeral home just had yet another mix up and she was cremated and accidentally given to someone else
This feels like something straight out of Twin Peaks
Had to stop the video to laugh at Dick Tips. Such inappropriate timing, but what an unfortunate name.
VTastic right?
VTastic I was glad to see your comment first. I thought maybe I was just that immature. 😅😉
if it were i, i would change it
VTastic I'm so glad I'm not the only one lololol
Its STILL PAUSED. I CANNOT........John kept a perfecly straight face through it!
John as always, awesome job. You are a class act. This story is so sad. How could someone do something like this?
Thank you for another great video! How mad does one have to be to steal a body from a family? I can't imagine the pain they are going through 😢
Can't believe that there are people who would still dislike this kind of content. Really!?
Chloe Papillon I know. Why would you click on a video just to downvote it? I honestly feel like some people just need something, anything to complain about.
Chloe Papillon there has been a regular 2 down votes on all of Johns videos that show up in the first 5 minutes if the uploads, for over a year now.
That suggests dedication or perhaps major issues :)
Ben bradlee I dont think they meant any harm with their comment. It is quite reasonable to assume that on a show dealing with cases of possible pedophilia (missing kids) and murders that some of the thumb down votes could come from guilty people associated with these activities or possibly involved in the cases John is working on. I don't think that person is a fuck face for saying it's possible pedophiles may not like a show that could possibly expose them. Stop being so over sensitive.
Some people "thumbs down" things with sad content because they feel it's rude to put a thumbs up on something about a deceased person. It's possibly just someone who thinks the thumbs up/down system is similar to liking on Facebook.
Babelfroggy My guess is jealousy. It never ceases to amaze me how nasty nasty people can be. Seems like a petty thing to do. John doesn't deserve it. He's one of the good ones.
Sounds like the funeral home misplaced the body (as we have heard has happened many times before) and they've seen an opportunity to make up a story to cover their asses.
haribo mittens can I just say I love your avatar 😂 Pusheen is adorable
If that was the case, why wouldn't they just fake her cremation? Can't DNA test cremated remains. It would look better for the funeral home to say "oops we cremated your daughter earlier than expected" than "oops someone broke in and stole the body"
Life, the Universe and Mommyhood Good point, why indeed. A lot of unanswered questions here.
I had this exact thought... cremate a Jane Doe and give Julie's family the ashes and at least let them get closure. Sounds infinitely better than oops we lost the body/someone stole the body
haribo mittens but if her body then showed up somewhere
You're a great man, John. I greatly enjoy your content and your approach to these cases. You always treat them with the utmost respect. I'll be a dedicated viewer for as long as your brilliant channel is around! Keep being amazing!
The one thing that to this day, I love about John, is he talks about what the victims favorite tv show, movie, etc is. I always want to know more about the persons life & their interests.
Not so hard to believe that a funeral home has screwed up somehow if it is indeed them and not the boyfriend. A funeral home in my area placed a elderly gentleman in a cremation box out in the garage (during the cold weather) because no one in his family would claim him and pay for the cost so they stored him there. The trash collection company came and took him along with rubbish to the dump thinking that it was a box with garbage. Who would think a person would be stored in a garage with the trash? They discovered him missing eventually and by then it was too late to locate the body. The family then sued the funeral home and won. The very family that wouldn't claim him!! It was a well respected business so who would think they would store someone in a garage? They indeed needed to be called out for the bad business practice but it also was unfortunate that the family won money because they didn't care enough to take care of their loved one when they should have. I'm glad Julie's family is suing the business about their business practices. You would think that they would have had better security since they use other people's services. Hoping this ends quickly for her families sake.
John, I really enjoy your videos. Awesome job for the families and victims. What a horrible situation for the families of the funeral homes.
Wait... what if they did actually cremate her and she got confused or mixed up with someone else's remains?! If you want to know more about cremation and the funeral industry, I HIGHLY recommend you check out Caitlin Doughty's channel AskAMortician
Emily Garcia I was thinking about her for the entirety of this video! But if they mixed her remains up with someone else's why wouldn't they just give any remains to the family and say they are hers? The family has no way of knowing if the remains are the correct remains.
Life, the Universe and Mommyhood I would say that they don't know, if that's the case, our they would have. Because if they gave them some random ashes and then her body shows up somewhere, what then?
Tonya M Marshall Oh, absolutely. I was going on the theory that they cremated her and lost the ashes or otherwise knew what happened to her body. If they have no clue (which is what I think) then, of course, they couldn't just hand off random ashes. My theory is that the owners have no idea what happened to her body. Maybe it was stolen or maybe an employee did something. But if the owners knew where her body was I believe they would have concocted something to "fix" the situation. A regular employee/body snatcher wouldn't have the need for a cover up.
Life, the Universe and Mommyhood
I can't remember if they had, had they're final viewing. If they had it would have been morally wrong but it may have made it easier on the family. Very sad.😥
I'm gonna have to check out the girls channel you mentioned. Sounds interesting lol.
lily blu Morally, yes, completely wrong. But I agree, it would have been much easier on the family to think they had cremated her as planned. And definitely check out Ask A Mortician. Wonderful and informative channel.
I'm so impressed with your donation idea. Maybe to show what this remarkable lady was like when alive you could add some video clips each day for a few days, just one minute clips of her.
As per the subject of this BrainScratch, I learned when my family members started passing away that funeral home people, who learn to act sympathetic, are some of the most callous, unfeeling people you would never want to meet. When my Dad died I put a 5 X 8 photo of his only grandchild in the casket. On the way to the cemetery the whole caravan stopped and a guy from the funeral home ran over to my car, opened the door and gave me the photo. I said "What are you doing! I put it in the casket. That's where it belongs!. Then, hopefully, he put it back. BIZARRE, no?
Then, when my sister died I put a 3 X 5 bit of notepaper in with her body before they closed the casket. We then walked into the chapel, but I looked back. There was this funeral home dude opening the casket again, grabbing the little note and throwing it on the floor. WHAT'S UP WITH THIS?? What's their agenda? Is the 3 X 5 note going to hurt somebody? I got up, much to my mother's dismay and insisted that he put the note back. Stomach turning, I must say!
Thank you again John for everything you do. You're one of the few out there who gives a fig about these cases and I support you fully.
So glad you covered this one. I'd always wondered how it had progressed.
Hi John, just wanted to tell you how much I enjoy watching "Brainscratch" aliong with you narrating these creepy mysteries; I believe you are one of the best hosts on youtube and the internet. Keep up the great work mate.
I live in San Antonio and never heard of this. Super crazy! Good job as always John!👍
I meant to mention this before but forgot. I’m a relatively new follower of the channel but I really respect you and the work you do, John. So it meant a lot to me to see you donate to a charity involving cystic fibrosis. I never knew Julie Mott but I do know others who did have the fortune to meet her across the digital cf community, and they all agreed that if anyone deserved a proper burial, it was her. Thank you for helping our community by spreading her story and subsequently the story of her peers, the others suffering from cystic fibrosis. Myself included.
Good morning John. Good morning fellow Brainscratchers. Have a beautiful day😻
New subscriber - Like many people on here, I watch a lot of these type of videos. I was introduced to yours recently, and I have to say I like the way you present things. So many others don't go into details like you do. And I like how it almost feels like your personally in a discussion with us. I also appreciate the fact that if you don't know something you say so; you say "don't quote me" and "I THINK", rather than presenting it as fact like so many others do which muddles the opinion and thoughts. And that you provide other links so we can venture into investigating ourselves of we want. Good job!
I will say this...
Him being the last person to leave and staying there longer than everyone, isn't suspicious. When my ex died, I was so distraught at his wake, I was frozen to the chair. I didn't want to say goodbye. The mortuary employees were creeped out by me. But I didn't care. He was my love. I think someone else had something to do with it and seen her ex and his odd behavior as their perfect distraction away from their crime. That's just my opinion though
Good thought about the case. And I'm sorry for your loss, I can't imagine how painful that is.
haribo mittens unfortunately I wouldn't know how painful. I've remained numb for 6 years ever since. It's the exact reason everyone calls this girl's ex bf crazy while I'm sitting here kind of understanding his grief and behavior. Thank you for your condolences. That's always nice to hear.
Crystal Velasquez sorry for your loss. Hugs. I'm going to guess though that you weren't a creepy ex-of-2-years when he died, though, and that you didn't then try to break into the mortuary several times. That, I think, is what makes the difference here. Hope you can find healing and peace soon x
I totally understand that and agree with you.
But the thing that puzzels me is that the funeral home didnt have to admit theyed lost the body if they were knowingly tesponsible. Theyed already had the viewing and given she was going to be cremated the family/friends would be none the wiser if they were to push am empty coffin through the furnace.
The more I watch this video the more I am eerily reminded of the movie Phantasm
This guy really decided to call himself "Dick Tipps" lol 😂
I snorted cold milk and corn flakes through my nose when I heard that 😄
LucilleAndrea 1984 gave me a good laugh too, i love john's delivery of that kind of thing...lol
Loren Fulghum John's always classy, no smile or wink. It's a good thing the guy's last name wasn't just Tipp. My name is Tipp. Dick Tipp. He'd be a blast at parties.
LucilleAndrea 1984 you know a lot of times people that run funeral homes have dark senses of humor. They kind of have to. Otherwise life can get very depressing
LucilleAndrea 1984 how he kept a straight face when he said that is beyond me😂
Also my friends daughter has C.F.. She looks like a beautiful healthy kid on the outside but she goes thru a lot to stay alive. So many medications and doctors visits and breathing treatments all day long. It's a brutal disease that will eventually rob your life and I pray they find a cure.
So sorry really hope your friends daughter is as well as can be x best wishes 🙏
Such a sad case, whoever would do such a thing. Can't even imagine how her mother and family must feel, it makes me feel sick.
I'm going to donate when I get paid, what a poor girl and family to have to go through all this! Thank you for all these videos, you are the best!!
Is leaving jewelry behind something workers/transporters would typically do say for "after hours collection" for offsite cremation so the funeral home can give it back to the family? I don't see a thief taking time for that especially if it was the ex and he thought she wore the ring he gave her.
When my mother was cremated they made sure to remove her jewelry before taking her body. So yes, I imagine that would be accurate, however I also would think they would have a proper log system for leaving jewelry and personal effects. Or it might be up to the funeral home to remove those effects before cremation.
John saying “yes, this guy really decided to call himself Dick Tips” basically represents how I feel about it. the dude is a creep & I don’t trust him.
Great job with the case. I love your videos.
Hope this case will be solve soon and Julie's family will find a peace.
You just helped me do my ethics homework! Thank you!
Wait...didn't you say Julie's dad worked for the mortuary owner at some point? Then couldn't he have a key and the code to get in after hours?
Exactly
So hopeful the authorities are able to find out what happened to this young girl's remains and that her family can start their grieving process. What a heartbreaking story for this family to endure. Rest In Peace Julie Mott.
Oh but I'm definitely subscribing now. Great overview of this case and I see you have some others down there, too.
Congratulations on 37,000 subscribers!
Just finished wiping off all the coffee of my laptop after spitting it all out after "Dick Tips" comment. I just about became a topic on BrainScratch, the strange death of a Kiwi in front of his laptop covered in Coffee.
My opinion is that mortuary cremated Julies body accidentally too early and dont want to admit it due to reputation.
Good Hazard
Except it happened in the span of 3 hours from her funeral at 1:30 - 4:30 when they closed...and they hadn't done any cremations in that span of time. Maybe they accidentally put her in someone elses casket?
She was going to be cremated anyway. The viewing was over, if they cremated her early there would be no reason to hide that. If you have a whole lot of time and want to really end up scratching your head, go to mydeathspace dot com and check out the Julie Mott thread. It's long, but her crazy Ex Bill posts there a whole lot. You will be left with very little doubt over what happened with her body.
I'm a funeral director. I wonder if Julie's body was embalmed for her service before cremation, and if so, how much the process of embalming could throw off cadaver dogs. Embalming effectively stops decomposition, at least in the short term. I'll have to look into it!
Maybe I`ve just missed it but I didn`t saw any opinion about that case which asks question about, what if the funeral houses has buisness in selling bodies to some kind of medical research facilities? I know it sounds like a conspiracy but in the same timie body parts or whole bodies can cost a lot of money. Great episode as always, greets to John and all of you Brain Scratchers!
It's a long shot but what if she really didn't have Cystic Fibrosis but died from malpractice from her doctors. The doctors arrange to have her turn up missing before that is discovered.
William R Hall cystic fibrosis is not something that is just misdiagnosed ... if you don’t know much about CF you should research it. It’s got VEERY specific symptoms: like decline in lung function & basically drowning in mucus/lung infections that increasingly become unresponsive to antibiotics/ other issues like needing to take pancreatic enzymes with EVERY meal in order for there body to be able to break down and process food into “usable” food (otherwise they will just keep losing weight) sometimes liver issues and other pancreas issues like trouble controlling blood sugar levels...these are all a VERY specific cluster of symptoms that comes together to form CF.
A great form of info is Mary Frey Vlog on RUclips... she has CF.. and documents her life and is SUPER nice. Her page is called the Frey life.
Then rather than bringing all of this crazy attention to themselves they could easily have put other peoples cremains into an urn to give the family and no one would ever be the wiser. The family themselves fully believe she was stolen, the funeral home is still responsible for not properly doing their job, hence the lawsuit and payout. The family is quite sure of who took the remains and why.
Wow.......I need to get a piece of paper & a pencil to keep up with all this. Her poor family. How cruel of that "boyfriend" to put her family thru this now.
This story is absolutely heart breaking. I hope Julie is found and her family gets justice.
The family was just awarded $28 million dollars!
Are there any updates on this case considering it is now 2021?
Hi John,
I can see at least three possibilities that could have happened here.....but I think the last one I will put forward is the most likely explanation for what has happened.
A:
The ex boyfriend Wilburn certainly stands out as a potential suspect with his over the top behaviour....BUT, perhaps he is just a man who doesn't have the same skill set and grasp on social etiquette as most of the rest of the population. When he does things, he does them to extreme. Perhaps his personality traits and his way of grieving both the loss of his relationship with Julie, and then the real loss of her through her death have caused him behave in an odd and therefore suspicious manner. I don't think he is involved, but is stuck on trying to find out what happened...making himself even more "a person of interest".
B:
This is throwing out a curve ball....but I imagine that Julie's own family would be the last people the investigators would be looking at. You said in the start of your post that the families of Julie and Dick Tip were very well known to one another, and that Julie's father had at some time been employed, and then fired, by Tip. I wonder if there had been some ongoing (hidden) unexpressed anger?/animosity? on the part of Julie's father in relation to this episode, and after Julie's death he thought that he would seek revenge for this episode, and stole Julie's body and then waited an appropriate? amount of time to start the law suit to get the million+ dollars from the man who fired him (or at least cause trouble for the firm). What more is known about the circumstances under which Julie's father was fired? I don't think this is very likely to be the case, but perhaps it should be investigated just to close any avenues not addressed.
C:
A business that has been identified as having, at least, 12 "mistakes" happen in the last twelve months is high on my list of suspects. This whole industry is reliant on trust, and dealing with people/families when they are at their most vulnerable. I think they have been well aware of what has happened (after the "mistake") with Julie, but are obviously covering their arses (as we spell it here in Australia). Someone took the wrong body at the wrong time and did the wrong thing with it. Many funerals (particularly here in Australia ) do not have open caskets: anyone could be in any of those caskets and you would never know. Sadly, my step father died on April 18th and then my Mum died on July 15th of this year. My stepfather was buried (his wish), and now my Mums' ashes (her wish was to be cremated) are to put in the grave with her husband (my step father). I hope they are putting the right people together. So, I think scenario C is the most likely, but we may never know.
My thoughts are with all those who have lost loved ones and are grieving..... but particularly many of them who John identifies on his page through the cases, where they are unable to grieve properly due to the crazy, sad, horrible circumstances under which people go missing or die.
cheers
Carol
My husband and I thought the exact same thing you said for B.
The first thing that came to my mind in this case was that the offender may have Necrophilia fantasies. Because trust me, there are still some Eddie Gein's living out there.
How horrible for the family to have to go through this. Both those funeral homes need to be shut down!
Does anyone know what they normally do with jewelry when they take the body to cremation? Does anyone know if they do cremation at this funeral home?
Reminds me of that X-Files episode. Absolutely horrific, what kind of sicko takes someone's body and what the fuck do they do with it? Really doesn't bear thinking about... her poor poor family...
Yeah, he would steal them to style their hair.
I remember when this first happened and the ex would fight openly with the family on Julie's Facebook page ,mostly directed at the brother. It got real ugly with some really bad allegations against the brother. BIll was out of control and would rant and rant then delete.
I'm late to the thread, but Bill is a nutter. See mydeathspace thread on Julie Mott. Bill did a whole WHOLE lot of crazy posting there and was unable to delete. Her brother also posted there.
My grandmother worked for a doctor who's son had cystic fibrosis. He passed away when he was 21 I believe. It was really tough on her because he was her little buddy when he was young. I hope this case has a happy ending as well. The family deserves peace, as does their daughter
Watching this video in 2022 for mortuary sciences school Mortuary Law class. Any update on the case?
The last update I've heard on any of this was that Julie's family was awarded 8 million for the lawsuit against this funeral home
I hope I don't upset anybody by saying this. What if it was the father? The article says that old employees may have the code to the alarm. The dad worked there five years ago. What if he was a disgruntled ex employee and stole the body so he could sue them for money. Just a thought.
He never worked in the funeral home. He was a private pilot for Dick. He wasnt involved in the home in any way.
Just remember that the dislikes on your vids are just from trolls. I can tell that you are a truly caring person. Would love to see you do a report on Willard asylum in NY. Would be a great BrainScratch on the paranormal. Great reporting please keep it up!
Gosh, this one is so disturbing. 😔
This is so heartbreaking I feel so bad for her family. I can't imagine going through the loss of my precious daughter and the Funeral Home I entrusted with her has now lost her body.
I pray this poor family gets Julie back.
Instead of saying " this is the girl stolen from a funeral home" " think this is the girl that brought light to the clear negligence on the part of this Funeral Home and hopefully no other family has to go through this complete nightmare."
Sad - may she RIP !!!
GOD I HATE THIS. Every time you do a Brain Scratch I actually search your channel as I know for a fact you already did it. And every time I am wrong.
Oh, my. Was not prepared for "Dick Tips" at all. Laughed out loud.
I work in a funeral home in CA and all funeral homes with a freezer/storage need to be available to removal staff for death calls after hours. We have an alarm code that is changed pretty often and the keys can'r be duplicated. Removal people aren't vetted too well at my company. Ive worked viewings in this exact situation (viewing in rental casket, by myself. I do shut it before I go, but our rental has no key/lock at all. Anyway, the removal people do work for 3 different store front crematorium.
I haven't seen the video the whole day through yet but it struck me how remarkably alike my story is. This could be me - sick my whole life with an unbreakable mother and a bond that's gotten me through school and multiple hospitalizations. I literally just got home from one today. It's awful that Julie and her family had to suffer so much only to have this happen...
And an ad! I made sure to watch the whole thing! 💖
this is such a sad story they care for their daughter all her short life with this awful disease and now cant even put her to rest I just cant even think what they must be going through
The guy “Dick” ...working at a funeral home is a calling and requires sobriety. This to me, is a red flag.
I have to agree with Mr. Dick Tips, I had to laugh, I'm so sorry, why would you choose to be called that? Anyway, I have to agree there, a misdemeanor?! That is a disgusting, cruel, disrespectful and just plain wrong thing to do. This is the 21st century and there are cameras everywhere and for safety reasons and awfully tragic situations such as this. How do you misplace a body? My heart goes out to both families and when you are dealing with such a delicate situation, the utmost respect and care needs to be taken.
If she fought the disease for so much longer than believed possible wouldnt her body be interesting for the medical community to study?
I remember this case, and was wondering just recently if they ever located her remains. So sad for the family.
There's so much evidence against the creepy ex boyfriend this video could be on the Case Cracked playlist. He's such a weirdo he'll probably confess at some point just to be the center of attention again.
This is sickening and very sad, I pray they get to the bottom of this.
Can't imagine why anyone would click the dislike button on John's videos!
I was thinking the exact same thing John, about not wanting her cremated..
Could you please do a story on ashley freeman and lauria bible? This is a friend of mines cousin and her best friend. They have been missing since 1999 after a fire in the freeman home where her mother and father were found shot.
Hey john, could you do a video about the Rhodes family massacre? It's a very puzzling case and I hope you can bring some attention to it so it can be solved. Thanks❤
Aww I know someone who passed from cystic fibrosis):
Could you do a story on an update on audrey moran & jonathan reynoso?
Every funeral I've ever been too has been at this particular funeral home yikes
Wow..her poor family...they must just feel like their grief is on hold, with no closure..how awful😞
I'm finally back on track... school started this week and after dropping my son off at school, I can again come home and have my coffee uninterrupted while listening to John Lordan as I have for the past couple of years. I love my morning routine! Thanks John for great videos!
I carry the CF Gene and I've researched about it and talked to doctors about it since I was pregnant. Still praying I don't pass it on , they need both parents to be carriers of the gene
What in the world?? Oh my gosh!
She still hasn't been found.
My guess...the funeral home made another mistake and cremated her body, and is too ashamed to admit it for fear of their reputation and loss of business. It's easier to pretend that "someone broke in and stole her body" due to emotional purposes.
Did they ever find her body
Did they find Julie .
This is a truly vile case. Who on earth would steal a young girl's corpse, like this?
I hope the culprit is caught, and locked up for 20 years.
This sounds like sole negligence on the funeral home's part and they don't want to take responsibility for their actions. Nothing else really makes sense to me.
First, my heart goes out to Julie's family. I cannot imagine grieving a loved one and having to also bear the shock of her body being missing, and then compound all of that with very bizarre behaviour and finger pointing from someone else. It seems like it would interfere with just being able to remember your loved one fondly.
The question that came to mind for me was whether or not Bill knew someone who worked at that affiliated company.
The brier being in an odd place with (possibly) Julie's hair on it makes me think that her body was stolen, and not some simpler explanation.
While I am a casual observer and have no business 'diagnosing', I had a narcissist in my life at one time and he would do these odd, blatant lies, but I don't think that he was aware of them as lies. He would double (or triple) down if his untruths were pointed out to him, and would become extremely angry. Bill claiming that he gave Julie the ring really reminded me of that. Her mom was smart not to correct him at the time.
Such a creepy story! Has she been found ?
That ex sounds like a male Shirley Turner. His employment history shows he's never remained at one place for more than a year and he's had multiple home addresses in one city alone. He posted a photo of himself handling a rifle in what looks like a hunting blind to his facebook and deleted it when asked about it by a news site. If a small local PD cannot get cadaver dogs from a larger agency that has them they'll commonly rely on volunteer dog handlers who train them on their own and the cadaver dog business is becoming a growing market. And law enforcement is beginning to rely more and more on independent handlers. The only way a volunteer handler can provide reliable dogs is if they've been involved in several searches. The less experience they have their dogs will not be that reliable. I'd question where the local police got their dogs in this case.
My heart goes out to Julie's family, how awful for them. To my mind the theft of a body would be carried out by someone who was besotted with her
The boyfriend appeared live on HLN Crime & Justice earlier this week - he is ... odd, to say the least. At first he seemed "normal" but as the questions went on he (as you also mentioned) just rambles and went off on tangents, talking about the Government and just gave a lot of bewildering responses.
I remember hearing about this on Nancy Grace but never seen a follow up. Always wondered if it had been solved. So, is it a necrophelia boyfriend? Black market body parts operation? Or something else?
My first thought was that this was a Norman Bates situation and some weird human taxidermy from someone who couldn’t let go. But now I’m thinking they just lost the body or ashes and it was a terrible cover up
3:30 I nearly lost my mind, just... LOLLL
"He really decided to call himself Dick Tips" John's delivery of that line was amazing
