Hello everyone, in today's video I will be discussing the tragic Case of twenty-four-year-old Julianne Williams and her twenty-six-year-old girlfriend, Laura Winans. This tragedy happened on May 24th, 1996.

The two women went on a camping trip along the Appalachian Trail in Shenandoah National Park in Virginia.

They took their golden retriever, Taj, with them. The trip was for Julianne to enjoy some free time before she began a new job in Lake Champlain, Vermont. Sadly, she never had the chance to start it.

Julianne and Laura were last seen alive on the trail on May 24. A few days later on June 1, their bodies were found in the park about a quarter-mile from Skyline Drive off the Appalachian Trail. Their hands were bound, their mouths were gagged, and their throats were slit. Taj was later found near Whiteoak Canyon Trail. Although there are suspects, the murders remain unsolved.

This is the 25 year anniversary of this tragic cold case.. but the FBI is throwing new agents at the case and the reward is now 25,000 dollars. I hope and pray they are able to find closure for the friends and families of these two wonderful women.

My thoughts and prayers go out to all this who knew these wonderful people 🙏

If you have any information regarding this case please contact:
your local FBI office or the nearest American Embassy or Consulate.
Please be respectful in the comments if you choose to leave them.

Thank you for watching🙏
