Looking for Leads Amid Anniversary of Unsolved Murder of Chalfont Teen
Montgomery County authorities are looking for leads to get one step closer to solving the cold case of the murder of Julie Barnyock.montco.today
It was one night after a train ride back from Philadelphia that Julie went missing on Nov. 8, 1993. She called her father from a payphone at the Lansdale SEPTA station to come pick her up, but by the time he arrived, she was gone.
Three weeks later her body was found by a train worker in a remote part of the station. Her death [was] ruled a homicide; however, for nearly 30 years, Montgomery County authorities had not been able to identify a suspect. Technological advances are now instilling hope.
From 2001:

Julie had been in Philadelphia that day with a friend, Brian Todd. Waltrop said Todd was known to be homeless at the time.

A local man who was walking through a remote section of the Lansdale freight yard – overgrown with brush and known as a regular spot for homeless people – discovered Julie‘s body on Dec. 2, 1993, Waltrop said.
