Laura Winans & Julie Williams: “Young Love Interrupted” | MURDERISH Ep. 182

In May 1996, 24-year-old Julianne Williams and 26-year-old Laura Winans set off on a weeklong camping trip in Shenandoah National Park. The two experienced hikers were eager to immerse themselves in the beauty of the Virginia wilderness. The adventure was a celebration of sorts. Julie and Lollie, as they were known to friends, had recently moved in together in Vermont, a major step in their relationship. The young women had not yet come out to their families back home in the Midwest, and were still adjusting to life as an openly gay couple. On May 31, 1996, Julie’s father reported the couple missing as they’d been due home three days earlier. The two women’s bodies were discovered the next day. They’d been brutally assaulted and murdered. A widespread investigation to find their killer ensued, but would ultimately lead to the wrong man. Julie and Lollie’s families would have to wait decades for answers, and the close of their case would be deeply disappointing for some.
