On December 23, 2009, the body of 39-year-old Julienne Corrao was found in a large cloth bag in an alley on Princeton Street in East Boston. A neighbor first saw the bag and thought it was trash; police later determined Corrao had been beaten to death elsewhere before her body was discarded. Her wrists were bound and a dragon tattoo on her neck helped identify her.

The alley is in a normally quiet residential neighborhood, which amplified the shock among locals. The case remains unsolved and Boston Police continue to seek information. If anyone knew Julienne, saw suspicious activity in the Princeton Street area around December 23, 2009, or has information that could help, please come forward.
