Hello CaseFile listeners. CaseFile will be back with brand new episodes in just two short days.

But until then, you can listen to the newest CaseFile Present series, Julie's Gone.

Produced and reported by investigative journalist Helen Thomas, who brought you the Easy Street murders series,

Julie's Gone investigates the

disappearance of 19-year-old Julianne Garcia-Salé, who went missing from her Melbourne apartment

in July 1975. Julie had only recently arrived in Australia from the US. Three men were with her that night, one of whom would be linked

to the Easy Street murders just 18 months later. The men claimed Julie left the apartment to make a

phone call and never returned. No trace of her has ever been found. Now, five decades later, Helen Thomas has uncovered new evidence, witnesses and fresh leads

in one of Australia's most haunting cold cases.

Julie's Gone is available now wherever you get your podcasts.

Stay tuned to listen to the trailer.

Fifty years ago, on the first night in July, 1975, Julianne Garcia Saleh vanished. Nine days shy of

her 20th birthday, the Californian teenager who'd been living with her sister in Melbourne

was just gone. She wasn't a kid that took off. If she was going someplace she let you know.

And I thought, well, she's got to come back. I never dreamed. What parent dreams of anything like this.

On the evening Julie disappeared, three men shared pizza and beer with her in her inner city apartment.

And for the past five decades, there have been the only persons of interest in the case.

I just can't remember the details at all.

You know, it was all happy friendly. There was no, you know. We went over there for a drink and that was it. She went away and we got tired of waiting and left. In the days after Julie went missing, police failed to canvass her neighbours about what they saw that night she disappeared. But Case File presents has spoken to witnesses who say a young woman was dragged into a car that night from a phone box that was apparently Julie's last known location.

Yet, at the time, these witnesses weren't interviewed by police.

Three men.

They came and they grabbed her.
