Placerville, CA – In a case that continues to perplex authorities and the community, 15-year-old Julie Elizabeth Soracco vanished from Placerville on August 1, 1977. Despite the passage of nearly five decades, her disappearance remains unsolved, with many questions still unanswered.

Julie was a student at El Dorado High School at the time of her disappearance. She had previously lived with her mother and sisters in Sacramento before moving to Placerville to reside with her grandfather. Subsequently, she was placed in foster care with a couple. Reports indicate that Julie was last seen either walking from her foster family’s home to her grandfather’s residence or en route to meet a male companion at a local pizza restaurant. The exact circumstances of her disappearance remain unclear.

Notably, Julie’s disappearance was not reported until July 2019, over 40 years after she was last seen. This significant delay has posed challenges for investigators seeking leads in the case. At the time she went missing, Julie was described as standing between 5 feet 2 inches and 5 feet 4 inches tall, weighing between 120 and 130 pounds, with brown hair and brown eyes. She would be 62 years old today.

The Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office has stated that foul play cannot be ruled out in Julie’s disappearance. They urge anyone with information to come forward, emphasizing that even the smallest detail could be crucial. Individuals with information are encouraged to contact the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office at (916) 874-5115.

The case serves as a somber reminder of the importance of timely reporting in missing person cases. The initial hours and days are critical for gathering evidence and generating leads. Delays can significantly hinder investigative efforts, making it more challenging to locate the missing individual and uncover the truth behind their disappearance.

As the community reflects on Julie’s case, it underscores the enduring impact of unresolved disappearances on families and the importance of community involvement in seeking answers.
