Julia’s Loved Ones Beg Her to Get in Touch
In a heartfelt message, Julia’s family said, “Julia, you are loved and missed terribly. No matter what the reason was for you to leave, you aren’t in any kind of trouble, and we just want to know you are safe. Please, just let someone know you are okay.”
At the time she disappeared, Julia was wearing a black North Face jacket, black trousers, and white Nike trainers. She was carrying a black Nike rucksack.
Police Launch Urgent Search Across London
Julia’s mum reported her missing on the morning of Tuesday, January 9. Police immediately kicked off an intense search operation. Detective Chief Superintendent Clair Kelland confirmed officers have been working around the clock, reviewing hours of CCTV and doorbell footage, interviewing witnesses, and canvassing local residents.
Julia’s prolonged absence is highly unusual as she left without her 123 card or any cash. Police suspect she may have travelled from Mitcham to Lambeth, Camden, or Islington using public transport.
