Juliana Mae Schubert, 30, was last seen in Arlington, Washington, in the summer of 1989; reports commonly cite on or around July 4, 1989. At the time she was a mother of two young sons and was separated from her husband, David Schubert, with divorce proceedings underway. Her car and personal belongings were found at home, and family members said she would not have willingly abandoned her children.

Early investigation focused on her husband, who said Juliana had left on her own. Initial criminal charges filed in 1994 were dismissed after a key witness—a police detective—could not testify because of a terminal illness. In 1998 a civil jury found David Schubert responsible for Juliana’s wrongful death, awarding a settlement to her two children. A criminal prosecution resumed in October 2001; the first trial ended in a hung jury and during that period the couple’s younger son, Nickolas, was later found dead in his college dormitory room. A second trial in 2002 resulted in a conviction for second-degree murder, though Juliana’s body has never been found.

Does anyone have memories of Juliana, where she lived or worked in Arlington in 1989, or information that could clarify what happened that summer?
