Justice for Julie remains elusive

A trial witness said a car door slam at an early hour attracted his attention outside. But what held it there, enough to summon his son and his friend from watching television, was the attractive girl in the road.

Julie Marie Monson, the victim of Cayuga County's most infamous unsolved death, was with a man on Prospect Street. The man was gesturing at her red Chevrolet Chevette and then looked under her car. William Komanecky, his son Andrew, and Andrew's friend Frank Busce, watched from a living room window as Monson got into the man's car and drove away.

Monson was a short distance away from home. It is the last moment aired to the wider public that the 18-year-old was known to be alive and well.
