The inaugural stream focused on a case from 1999 in Jacksonville’s Springfield neighborhood. The presenter was joined by family, loved ones, and supporters of Julia Vegas, who tearfully spoke during the presentation.

39-year-old Julia was found stabbed to death in a shed behind a home on Hubbard Street, and her killer has yet to be arrested.

Anyone who submits a tip to First Coast Crime Stoppers that leads to an arrest in any of their cases is eligible for a cash reward up to $3,000.
