Lori Dea Julian was 31 when she vanished from Scottsdale, Arizona, on July 16, 1991. Reports differ about her last known location: some accounts place her at a 7-11 at Granite Reef and McDowell Roads, others at her lawyer’s office or leaving a bar. She worked as a waitress and bartender, sometimes hitchhiked, and struggled with substance abuse; she had recently lost a newborn son and was planning to move in with a friend and enter rehabilitation.

Lori was a mother of two daughters, who were in their father’s custody. She sometimes went out of contact for weeks but reliably called on birthdays and holidays; concern grew when she did not call her older daughter on her twelfth birthday, July 30, 1991, and she was reported missing. The Scottsdale Police Department reopened the case in 2003 and checked for medical records to compare with unidentified Jane Does, without new leads. Family and the FBI suspect foul play, though the case remains classified as a missing person matter and is unsolved.

If anyone knew Lori, her routines, or saw her in Scottsdale around July 1991, please share what might help the investigation.
