Over the next few days Mr Carey searched the 22-year-old's home, spoke to her work colleagues and guests of the hotel and examined her car with a fine-toothed comb.
"After we recovered Julies vehicle...we were able to establish that one of the rear doors of her car couldn't be locked, he said.
So we looked at the possibility that someone may have secreted themselves in the back seat while it was parked at the hotel without her knowing and that she was forced to drive somewhere.
Mr Carey said some time after the 22-year-old went missing, police received information which suggested she could have gone to the Burswood Casino after she left the Parmelia.
"We went there but unfortunately the CCTV footage did not extend back to the night she disappeared," he said.
In the months following Julies disappearance, we spoke to numerous people in the hope we might have been able to establish what had happened to her.
Despite our best efforts, we were not able to solve this mystery.
The former cop believes Ms Cutler succumbed to whatever fate she met in a five-hour window between 12.30am on June 20 and daybreak that morning.

Pondering the possibilities if someone did secrete themselves in the back of her car in the carpark at the Parmelia.
If the other things, like the break in at her house, the car that stalked her on Stirling Hwy, the bag of clothes at the Kebab Shop, the phone call to the Journalist and the couple seen leaving through the same door of the Parmelia into the same carpark are related and significant to Julie's disappearance, then we must ignore the Hill St abduction that ended at Centenary Avenue as a different MO, and any similarity as insignificant IMO.
If I do include those other events as clues, then I must ponder that this was a planned out abduction. The car incident on Stirling Hwy might've been an earlier attempt, so might've been the break-in as well. Someone secreting themselves in the back of the Fiat would be taking to great of a risk of her getting out of the car in the carpark to attempt to restrain her before she began driving IMO. Another vehicle would probably need to be following from the carpark then to pick up the abductor once he gained control. Maybe this is the couple seen leaving? Putting the car in the water, the phone call, returning her purse to her home and the bag of clothes appearing afterwards appear to me to be "proof of life" actions for a kidnap for ransom scenario IMO. David Everett was known to of planned and executed such an act in later years. He is known to of returned to Perth from Burma the year before Julie's disappearance. He had the capability and accomplices to pull this off IMO.
The fact that she shares the same name as her aunt, and there was media reports in the early 1970's of the Leopold Nickel Scam that mentioned shares being traded in Hong Kong using family members names, and a now convicted murderer, but former taxi driver with a dubious history, Vernon Silich, whose father, a detective working in company fraud squad at the time of the investigation into the Leopold case. Vernon (or many other people, some doing time when Julie's uncle was imprisoned) might of provided rumours of illicit sequestered wealth, which only fuelled more by the sentencing remarks of the Judge (which disappeared from Supreme Court archives and had to be redone - which itself gained media attention). These rumours might have provided the motive for a kidnap for ransom attempt IMO.
And then the story broke and Julie's father is in the Media - this would of confused the kidnapper. They would've been expecting the Uncle instead - if they had the other Julie Cutler. IMO they could've been too dumb to known that the abductee was related none-the-less, and instead of carrying it through, decided to abort the plan and thus dispose of the victim. IMO.
I think Police need to interview David Everett's first wife, Vernon Silich, and anyone that was in Fremantle Prison back in the 1970's for leads to more clues to what happened to Julie Cutler.
Police might also want to ask her uncle if he remembers any strange messages that in hindsight might've been an attempt to negotiate a ransom demand.
