Julia Lynn Moranda, known as Julie, was 31 when she vanished from Yakima, Washington. She was last seen on December 7, 1990, getting into a vehicle with an unknown person in the Yakima Sports Center parking lot. At the time she was described as a white female, 5 feet 0 inches to 5 feet 2 inches, 125 to 140 pounds, with brown hair and blue or hazel eyes. She had distinctive tattoos: a rose on her left breast, a partial rose on her right breast, the letter D on her left hand, and the letter J with a small square on her right hand. She sometimes dyed her hair red and used several aliases.

Friends and family lost contact the day she disappeared. Julia was known to be a sex worker and struggling with intravenous drug addiction, circumstances noted as increasing her vulnerability. Her case was classified as endangered missing and the transient aspects of her lifestyle and lack of information about the vehicle and person she entered have complicated the investigation. Authorities have considered a possible link to convicted killer Robert Lee Yates Jr., who operated in Washington and targeted sex workers, but no charge has been filed in Julia’s case.

Does anyone have information about Julia’s movements in Yakima in December 1990 or recall seeing her near the Yakima Sports Center on December 7?
