PHILADELPHIA (KYW Newsradio) — A $10,000 reward is still active for information that would lead to an arrest in a 30-year cold case out of Montgomery County.
Wednesday marked three decades since 18-year-old Julie Barnyock disappeared from a train station in Lansdale. It was around 11:40 p.m. on November 8, 1993, when Barnyock arrived in Lansdale after boarding a SEPTA train from Philadelphia.
Investigators say she used a payphone to call her parents to pick her up, but when her dad arrived, he wasn’t able to find her. She was reported missing to police the following day.
Officials say it was three weeks later that her body was found in the Lansdale SEPTA Conrail freight yard.
An autopsy showed that a blunt-force head injury caused her death.
Though decades have passed since she was reported missing, the Montgomery County District Attorney’s Office is asking the public to share any piece of information they may have about Barnyock’s murder.
Anyone with information is asked to call the Montgomery County Detective Bureau at 610-278-3368, or the Lansdale Police Department at 215-368-1801.
