Perth’s Most Baffling Mystery: What Happened To Julie Cutler? Was She The FIRST Claremont Murder Victim? Australian True Crime
In the winter of 1988, a swimmer was enjoying a leisurely paddle down at Perth's famous Cottesloe Beach, when they came across a very unusual item in the water- a car. The vehicle, partially buried in the sand, sat upside down with its roof crushed in, just 50 metres from the shoreline. Police quickly discovered the car belonged to a young woman reported missing several days earlier- Julie Cutler. I discussed this case on my YouTube channel 5 odd years ago but since then there has been an inquest and several interesting developments. It has also been a long-running theory that today’s case is linked to the Claremont serial killer, and in the 5 years since I talked about Julie's case, the Claremont trial has been and gone. This trial very much highlighted just where police messed up in today’s case, and why, due to their own mistakes, police are still struggling to solve the 34-year-old mystery of missing and presumed deceased, Julie Cutler.All audio is adapted from the YouTube channel 'Samantha Melanie'.
