Wild Crime: Because They're Mine | S4 Ep. 3
Oh, my goodness. The first time I met Julie, I think it was in the lunch line. I was kind of a loner, and me and her just clicked. No judgment. You know, we were both wild, crazy kids.

That's where she felt her freest. There was no gravity to hold her down. We would laugh and play and just be like really innocent kids. She absolutely loved it. Summer of 95, I was 12 turning 13. Me and Julie hung out at the pool every time we had lessons. We'd hang out in front of the fence and wait for a ride home.

Wild Crime: Because They're Mine | S4 Ep. 3
We were walking through here and I turned and noticed this kid sitting on the swing set. He's slowly rocking back and forth on the swing, staring at us. I had no idea who the boy was. He was 17 or older. There was something not right. He got like so close I could see the brown slits in his eyes. He starts saying how cute Julie was.

Wild Crime: Because They're Mine | S4 Ep. 3
It just made me feel uncomfortable because he was an older boy that was hitting on little girls. Julie was flattered about a boy paying attention to her. She gave him her phone number. I felt something bad coming for her, but I couldn't place it.

Her backpack and legs were found about 10 miles from her home. It was a dark moment.

Wild Crime: Because They're Mine | S4 Ep. 3
Everybody's waiting for an arrest. Everybody's waiting to find out who did it. And it's just dead end. Until Israel Keyes came up as a serial killer, I started looking him up. I started seeing his pictures. And it dawned on me he was the boy at the pool the summer before she went missing.
