Julie Ann Garciacelay was not quite 20 when she vanished from her inner-city apartment in Melbourne 50 years ago.

Three men who were with her that night in July 1975 told police the young American left to make a phone call and didn’t return. One would be linked to the infamous Easey Street murders 18 months later.

Julie has never been seen since, nor has her body been found. Her disappearance is o... more

  • Lazy and repetitive

    Julie is not the focus of this podcast. By episode two I knew more about some guy who was supposedly in her apartment than we ever learn about Julie. Helen almost makes a point about violent crime against women in the 70s, and police attitudes towards that issue, but gets bored before arriving at one. Almost no information, evidence or discussion is given regarding Julie’s case - it’s lightly skimmed over in episode one and then abandoned. Lazy research, repetitive bites of tenuously relevant in... more

  • Beautiful & Heartbreaking

    This is so well presented, but my heart breaks Julie’s loved ones. Esp her Mother. In episode 2, the Nuns’ account of the event thst ultimately ended Julie’s life is particularly disturbing to me. As a lifelong RC, & one with deep reverence & respect for Nuns and Priests, I am sad to say the lacking response of these Sisters & Priests who could have been an integral part of justice for this young woman & her grieving family. In the loss of one’s everything ,Justice becomes the closest thing to ... more

  • Disappointed

    I felt the writer dragged on in this podcast , interviewing people simply to fill 7 episodes. I truly thought this same information could have been more interestingly presented in half the episodes.

  • Fascinating case

    Well done to Helen Thomas for reviving interest in both the Easey Street murders and Julie’s disappearance. This is great journalism. Helen has managed to hunt down and uncover information about this 1/2 century old case that the police at the time weren’t able to find. Very interesting case and well presented. I definitely recommend.
