O'Neill was last seen in Lake Geneva on June 18, 1997. She has never been heard from again.

Rumors from Websleuths: "I and a great number of individuals who have investigated this case over the years believe Julia was murdered in retaliation for putting a powerful drug dealer in jail. Her last known contact was with a confidential informant. Julia had just been busted earlier in 1997 with cocaine and was a heavy user. She told her sister she was afraid of going to jail. The man who was sentenced based on Julia's cooperation with authorities after her arrest, as well as several of his associates, are the prime suspects in the case. Through the grapevine, there's been talk that Julia's body was dumped in Lake Michigan." Her parents hired a private investigator, to no avail.
