Julia Boyajian, 34, was found unresponsive in her College Hill apartment in Cincinnati on May 16, 2016. She had worked six years as a school nurse at Mount Auburn International Academy and was remembered by colleagues and the community for her kindness and dedication to students.

Police opened a homicide investigation after her death. Investigators identified her former boyfriend, Joseph Swecker, 34, as a person of interest; Swecker was later found dead by his own hand in Mount Airy Forest shortly after Julia’s body was discovered. Authorities did not publicly confirm Swecker’s role beyond that designation and continued to probe the circumstances surrounding Julia’s death.

A candlelight vigil was held and friends, family and coworkers shared condolences and memories. If anyone knew Julia, her routines, or saw anything in College Hill around May 16, 2016, contact the Cincinnati Police Department with information.
