17:12Now PlayingThis week, our "Missing" series looks at the case of Julie Braswell Seay. Just before Christmas in 1988, the mother of two left work in Ormond Beach, Florida, to do last-minute shopping but never made it to the store. Her car was found in a parking lot, unlocked, purse still inside and the seat adjusted for someone much taller, according to family.
They say Julie had been dealing with a stalking coworker, who was the last person to see her alive. The case went cold despite intense search efforts. In 2021, investigators dug up the garage floor where that same coworker had once lived but found nothing. Seay's family continues to push for answers.
Marni Hughes also speaks with Cathy Tarr of the Fowler O'Sullivan Foundation about the search for a missing 60-year-old hiker in California. Search teams are now scaling back efforts after Jason Coughran vanished May 25 while hiking in the El Dorado National Forest near Tahoe, California. Tarr's group works exclusively with families of missing hikers, providing support to loved ones, and helping organize and assist additional search efforts.
