Julie Ann Lovett was 29 when she was last seen in Mountain City, Johnson County, Tennessee, on March 23, 2001. The day she disappeared included a dispute with her boyfriend. After that argument she was seen making a call from a payphone at Big Louis’s Market, then walking south on U.S. 421 and later using a payphone at a local bar. That last bar call is the final verified sighting.

In 2012 Frederick Phillip Hammer, a convicted serial killer, confessed to killing Julie, saying she had asked him for a ride at Big Louis’s Market and that he disposed of her body in neighboring Ashe County, North Carolina. Investigators have not recovered physical evidence or Julie’s remains to corroborate his confession, and no charges in her disappearance have been filed.

Julie’s case remains an unsolved missing person case. Does anyone remember Julie, her movements that day, or those payphone calls near Big Louis’s Market?
