Julianne Cecilia Jaillet was 36 when she vanished from her home in the Lake Hills area of Bellevue, Washington. She was last seen on June 1, 1985, about six months after marrying Ian Jaillet. According to Ian’s statement to police, the couple argued and Julianne announced she was leaving; when he returned she and a suitcase and some personal items were gone. Her parents filed a missing persons report on June 18, more than two weeks after the last sighting.

Weeks after the disappearance, Julianne’s purse, wallet, and other belongings turned up in the lobby of the MGM Grand hotel in Reno, Nevada (now the Grand Sierra). A hotel employee mailed the items to Julianne’s parents’ home, saying they had been forgotten, yet there is no record of Julianne checking in or appearing on the hotel’s security footage.

Family and friends recall Julianne in good spirits before she disappeared; her daughter, who was eleven at the time, continues to search for answers and does not believe Julianne left voluntarily, expressing concerns about Ian’s possible involvement. The Bellevue Police Department’s investigation remains open.

Does anyone have memories from Bellevue or Reno in June 1985, or information that could help Julianne’s family?
