Help Catch Julianne Stallman's Killer.

Julianne Stallman

"Justice will not be served until those who are unaffected are as outraged as those who are."

-Benjamin Franklin

She was born on May 12th, 1953 in Butte, Silver Bow County, Montana to Ronald and Mary Navarro.

She was the sweetest and nicest person ever. She was polite, energetic and just a good person.

In 1994, Julianne had 2 grown children John, 22 and Jennifer, 21. She lived on a rundown street on California Avenue in Butte, Montana.

November 29th. 1994, 41-year-old Julianne just got off of work at a restaurant on Harrison Avenue. She stopped at two stores on her way home. She had put up a Christmas tree and started wrapping gifts. At around 3:30 p.m., Julianne was brutally stabbed to death in her own home.  She had been stabbed 25 times in a prolonged battle with her attacker. She had suffered multiple wounds to the chest, and her throat had been slit.

The son was the first to stumble on to the horrific scene when he came home around 6 p.m. Julianne was dead on their kitchen floor. The crime scene was covered in blood, and there were several spatters on the fridge, walls and cabinets.

The murder weapon was never found. Investigators believe Julianne could have been attacked with a knife that her killer stole from the kitchen. 

It was theorized that after Julianne was first stabbed, she tried to escape the kitchen and make her way toward the front door. The offender, however, then pulled her back into the kitchen and inflicted the final, fatal stab wounds. He then moved her body afterwards.
It is also surmised that she knew her attacker and that they were full of a lot of rage at the time of Julianne's murder.

Julianne had been involved in two love triangles. One with her ex-husband, Van Stallman, and his wife, Sherry Stallman, and another with her former boyfriend, Brian Skinner, and his girlfriend, Jamie LeProwse.

After the homicide Brian Skinner showed Julianne's daughter Jennifer a letter he allegedly received a couple of months before the homicide telling him how Julianne was cheating on him.
Julianne’s clothing was analyzed, and unknown male DNA was found on her jeans and shoes. The unknown male DNA sample was tested against that of Skinner’s, Van's and close family members’, and they have all subsequently been eliminated as the source of the DNA.

An unknown male DNA profile had been recovered from a rug and hand towel found at the scene.

“I’m not sure if it’s because people are afraid to come forward,” said Julianne's daughter. “I’m not sure if they think maybe the information they have or what they saw isn’t important. I’ve always from the very beginning said, ‘what you think is not important could be the one piece that they need.’”
