TBH I think the chances of solving this would be most likely from a lucky break, like solving Sharon Mason's disappearance by discovery of her remains. Pure chance that one, and that those remains were located in a location that wasn't accessible to the general public at the time disposal, so that the perpetrator could be readily discovered. What would be the chance of this? Probably unlikely but the fact that she's never been found in a public place, like the CSK victims, Kerry Turner and the Burnie victims were, gives me hope that she might just be found by chance in a backyard someday, and a perpetrator will be bought to justice, if the perpetrator is still alive. The reward hasn't worked, so maybe the perpetrator is dead and didn't give anything away nor make a death bed confession.Agree. As with all scenario's everyone has put forward, there are lots of maybe's and what if's. If only we could find one little 'definite' !! But there are none. A couple of things I would like to know/see happen -
# Where finger prints taken from Julies flat?
#Were finger prints/DNA taken from the bag that contained (supposed) Julie's uniform?
#What was the outcome from the cigarette butts found in Julies Car?
#would Julie turning left from Mill St onto Mounts Bay rd, be the direction she would use to go home??
#What time was her shift the next day?
People that need to be re questioned -
#Sister/father that took Julies call regarding road rage event - every detail of the alleged event.
#Aunty, Uncle and cousins regarding if anything unusual happened during that time.
#Staff Julie worked with - regarding where she was going that night, what she talked about that night, who smoked, how Julie came to have the wine glasses, what they knew about her friends, uni friends and other work colleges. What Julie did in her free time and where she went. Did she ever go to this Kebab shop?
These same or similar questions need to asked to all whom knew Julie.
I know this has all probably been done before and the Police probably have the answers to some of the above.
Forgive me if I am a little behind
Someone would have smelt something in the weeks or months following though. A body is quite smelly.
Off topic, but what a pretty spot
Good points here... possibly repeat - a big job do all of the above as a first time offender
I’m going to head to the Perth library this weekend and trawl through microfiche I think
I've always thought that the car came down the beach into the water, but just looking at your photos with the waves lapping the shore line has made me see something different. I can now see that 'if' her car did go off the end of the groin and became submerged, the waves could have pushed it towards the shoreline. Thus the car only became visible once it was pushed into the shallows waters of the shore line.
I can't tell off the map despite having been there. Just call the Parmelia & ask them where the nightclub was & what's there now, they'll know. It was a nightclub for a long time with a few name changes but didn't change location. I thought you went down to an entrance at the side of the hotel but my memory is probably completely wrong. I can't picture it at all now.
Just trying to retrace Julie’s steps.
I also always thought, for many reasons that the car went into the water either from the beach or ramp, but after looking at the above pictures, it suddenly occurred to me that as the car was not seen for several days after Julie disappeared, a reasonable explanation as to why, could be, that it went off the groyne and then was pushed to the shore over several days. So I'm back on the fence now
IIRC it has never been confirmed the uniform was Julie's. It was just assumed as it was Julie's size and nobody came forward to claim it. It was also only handed to Police quite some time (1 year later ??) after Julies disappearance.
I found this article which quoted one of the detectives on the case as saying “(For the car) to have found its way into the ocean, we concluded that it must have been driven off or rolled off the wall straight into the water where it must have floated momentarily, before being taken out with the motion of the waves, before sinking to the floor of the ocean.”
I’d like to read through this thread again and go over the info in here relating to the car.
It does seem to me though that if it were driven into the sea from the ramp the engine would’ve stalled early on. The ocean is not shallow there as well.
What happened to Julie Cutler? 30 years on, the question still remains
Nothing would make Ron Carey happier for the case of Julie Cutler to be solved.www.google.com.au
yes indeed!
That would be the same floor as the main entrance. Because the Parmelia is on a hill, the first entrance on Mill St is actually a set of steps. Then there's a pub and a shopping arcade, then the main entrance lobby area on ground level. If Julianas was where the pub was or next to it, then you need the plan for the lobby floor. The lobby has doors between it and the arcade so that scan be shut off from the the arcade, hence two entrances on Mill St.
