In the late hours of June 17, 1983, a horrific crime shocked the city of Houston, Texas. A young woman named Julie Ward was brutally murdered in her own home, and her body was left posed in a macabre display. The case quickly became known as the "Houston Thriller," and it has remained unsolved for over 30 years.

Julie Ward was a 25-year-old single mother who lived in a modest home in southwest Houston. She worked as a waitress at a local restaurant, and she was well-liked by her friends and co-workers. On the evening of June 17, Julie went out with friends and had a few drinks. She returned home around midnight, and she was never seen alive again.

The next morning, Julie's mother went to her daughter's house to check on her. She found the front door unlocked, and she entered the house. She immediately noticed that something was wrong. The living room was in disarray, and there was blood on the floor. Julie's mother followed the trail of blood to her daughter's bedroom, where she found her daughter's body. Julie had been stabbed multiple times, and her body had been posed in a macabre display. Her arms were crossed over her chest, and her legs were spread apart. There was a bloody handprint on her forehead, and her eyes were wide open.

The Houston Police Department was called to the scene, and they quickly launched an investigation. They interviewed Julie's friends and family, and they searched her home for clues. They also released a composite sketch of the suspect, but no one was ever arrested.

The Houston Thriller case remains unsolved to this day. It is one of the most notorious unsolved murders in Texas history, and it continues to fascinate true crime enthusiasts. There have been many theories about who killed Julie Ward, but no one has ever been able to prove their case.

The Houston Thriller case is a reminder that there are still many unsolved murders in our country. These cases are often forgotten, but they deserve to be remembered. The families of the victims deserve to know what happened to their loved ones, and they deserve to see justice done.
