Summary

On the evening of March 20, 1995, Julie Ferguson, a 17 year old high school junior, worked her closing shift in the Greenway shopping center in Greenbelt, Maryland. After closing up at 9:25 pm, Julie waited outside for her friends to pick her up. When they arrived at 10:00 pm, they found Julie’s belongings left behind on the curb, but there was no Julie. The police were called, and they quickly determined that Julie had been abducted. Hours later, Julie’s body was discovered a few miles away - she’d been brutally murdered after fighting for her life. It’s been more than 28 years since Julie was killed, and investigators are still searching for the person or people responsible…

Just before 10:00 pm on March 20, 1995, 17 year old Julie Ferguson was abducted outside of the Greenway shopping center in Greenbelt, Maryland. At around 12:30 am, her body was left in the 12100 block of Daisy Lane, where it was later found at around 5:30 am. Police believe a 1988 or 1989 maroon or burgundy Volkswagen Jetta was involved in Julie’s abduction and murder.

Anyone with information is asked to call the Prince George County Crime Solvers at 1-866-411-8477.
