Julia Vita Salucka was 19 when she disappeared from Kansas City, Missouri, after moving there from Rockford, Illinois that autumn. She lived with her brother in the 4900 block of Grand Avenue and worked at a Hardee’s. On the evening of November 16, 1986, she told her brother she was going to visit a coworker and was last seen near the Hardee’s at 41st Street and Main Street around midnight. She left without her purse, identification or other personal effects and was wearing a black leather jacket, dark gray jeans, a pink sweatshirt and black ankle boots.

Julia is white, with brown hair and brown eyes, about 5 feet 4 inches to 5 feet 7 inches and roughly 100 pounds at the time. She has a tattoo on her left shoulder reading MPD and a heart. Early leads produced conflicting information: she reportedly told a friend and a former boyfriend she planned to return to Rockford, and investigators briefly explored a tip that she might have gone to California to join a musical group.

Her disappearance remains unsolved and listed as missing by the Kansas City Police Department. Does anyone have information about Julia’s last known movements, the car or people she was in contact with that night?
