Julie Lynn Seay, 24, of Daytona Beach, Florida, disappeared after leaving her job as a telephone magazine saleswoman on December 23, 1988. She was due at a family Christmas gathering but didn’t arrive; her family reported her missing on December 25 after she failed to contact them. Julie was a mother of two young boys and reportedly would not have left them willingly.

Her blue 1988 Chevrolet Sprint was found unlocked in a Daytona Beach parking lot on Magnolia Avenue with her purse inside. Investigators noted the driver’s seat had been moved back, as if to accommodate someone taller than Julie, and authorities have treated the case as involving potential foul play. Searches, including of her boss’s Port Orange residence, produced no significant leads.

She had recently divorced and there were suggestions of a possible reconciliation with her ex; she had cancelled a planned Christmas trip with him and the children, saying work kept her home. The case remains unsolved and open. Does anyone who knew Julie or saw her in Daytona Beach around December 23–25, 1988 have information that could help?
