The silver clutch left upright in a culvert forced a murder inquiry
In this episode, we follow the timeline and tangible clues surrounding Julie Patterson’s disappearance from her daughter’s wedding and the objects that turned a missing-person case into a homicide inquiry. We map the people, places, and small details investigators used to reconstruct where Julie went and why those items mattered.
Person: Julie Patterson
Date: December 3-7, 2011
Location: Calloway Pines and County Road 9 culvert
Person: Wendy Barrett
Person: Detective Erin Roberts
- Julie was last seen on security footage at 3:52 PM in a burgundy dress, walking alone toward the groundskeeper’s outbuilding.
- The outbuilding had been locked at 3:30 PM and a key issued in 2007 was held by groundskeeper Lloyd Davis.
- Four days later, Wendy Barrett found a silver clutch and a single burgundy heel placed upright inside a dry concrete culvert.
- The culvert had been running with snowmelt on December 4-5, so the items were placed there after the water cleared.
- Fifty meters beyond the outbuilding, past the mapped edge of Calloway Pines, sat a dry well on adjacent farmland not shown on venue maps.
