The search for 26-year-old Julia Rivers Long, originally from Duluth, has taken a new turn as detectives have discovered she was last seen in Minnetonka, Minnesota, before her disappearance. This new lead has promptly been communicated to her family, according to the Gwinnett County Police Department, prompting the case to be transferred to the jurisdiction of law enforcement in Minnesota, as per the county's official website.
Long, who relies on a wheelchair for mobility, has been missing since September 18, the last day her family received communication from her via a text message, and despite the time elapsed, the Gwinnett County Police are still actively seeking information from the public. After her family reported her missing on October 10, it emerged she had been residing at a hotel on Day Drive in unincorporated Duluth around June; she is described as a white female, five foot six inches tall, 150 pounds, and was last seen wearing a black T-shirt and gray sweatshirt, as detailed by the news release.
As the search for Julia intensifies, local authorities are urging anyone with information about her disappearance to step forward. Those who may have seen her or have knowledge of her whereabouts are urged to contact 911 without delay.
