Julie Elizabeth Soracco was 15 when she was last seen in Placerville, California, on August 1, 1977. At the time she had been living with her grandfather after previously residing with her mother and sisters in Sacramento. Family accounts say she may have been walking to meet a friend or companion, possibly at a pizza restaurant, but she never arrived.

Julie was described as having brown hair and brown eyes, standing between 5 feet 2 inches and 5 feet 4 inches and weighing about 120–130 pounds. She was wearing a royal blue football sweater with the letter E on the chest when she disappeared. Her case went largely unreported for decades and she was not officially listed as missing until 2019. Authorities have not ruled out foul play and the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office continues to investigate.

If anyone knew Julie, saw her in Placerville on August 1, 1977, or has information about her movements that day, contact investigators.
