A Watch Inside a Sealed Pipe: The Murder of Julie Johnson · Mystery Stories and Unsolved Cases

• 0:03
  Speaker 1: On the morning of July 9th, 2001, a farmer named
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: Roger Russo was walking a ditch line on Crestline Road,
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: checking an irrigation timer, when he crouched down and looked
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: into a corrugated metal culvert. He was not looking for evidence.
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: He was not looking for anything unusual. But there, inside
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: the sealed pipe, centered, face up, unscratched, was a woman's wristwatch.
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: It should not have been there. The grates on both
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: ends were bolted, no gap wide enough for a hand.
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: The pipe was dry, clean, undisturbed. And the watch itself
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: was a women's Seiko yellow gold, rectangular face. The kind
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: of piece you would recognize immediately if you knew whose
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: wrist it had been on for eight years straight. Julie
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: Johnson was 44 years old in the summer of 2001,
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: and she was the kind of person whose absence announced
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: itself immediately. She had lived on Fenwick Street in the
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: town of Harver for years. She worked as office manager
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: at Dalton Aggregate Supply, a position she had held for
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: nine years. People who worked with her used the same
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: word repeatedly when they described her, precise. She kept meticulous records.
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: She tracked billing cycles the way other people track weather.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: She was the kind of employee who noticed when numbers
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: did not add up, and she did not let those
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: things slide. She wore a Seiko watch every day, yellow gold,
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: rectangular case, Women's model. Her mother had given it to her,
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: and she had worn it for eight consecutive years. She
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: took it off only to shower. It was not a
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: fashion choice so much as a fixture, the kind of
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: object that becomes part of how a person looks to
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: everyone who knows them. At home, her routine was just
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: as consistent. She kept two Holland lop rabbits named Pepper
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: and Clove. Every morning at 6.15, she fed them. Every
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: evening at the same time, she fed them again. She
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: had done this for three years without interruption. On the
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: evening of July 8, 2001, her neighbor Patricia Voss walked
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: past the side yard at 7 o'clock. The hutch latch
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: was closed, but the feed dish was empty. Patricia Voss
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: knew that dish was always full by 6.15. She stood
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: there for a moment, then went inside and called Julie's daughter, Stacy.
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: Stacy Johnson was 22 years old and living in Keldron
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: at the time. When she could not reach her mother
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: by phone, she filed a missing persons report. The timestamp
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: on that report was A22. In the evening, about 12
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: hours before Roger Russo would find the watch the following morning,
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: though no one connected those two facts yet. There was
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: something else Stacey identified right away. Once investigators told her
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: what had been found in the culvert, she knew the watch.
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: She knew at the moment she heard the description, yellow gold. Rectangular, psycho,
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: her grandmother's gift. The watch was her mother's. And it
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: was sitting inside a sealed pipe on a county road,
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: four miles outside of Harvard, with no explanation for how
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: it got there. That question, how would take 18 years
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: to answer? And the answer, when it finally came, would
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: depend on three things that almost did not survive at all.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: Detective Leonard Pace had worked homicides for 23 years. He
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: had learned to follow physical evidence, and in the summer
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: of 2001, the physical evidence kept pointing at one thing,
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: the watch. It was the wrong kind of clue. A
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: watch does not walk four miles out of town and
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: climb inside a sealed pipe. Someone put it there, and
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: whoever put it there had spent time with Julie Johnson
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: that evening. Pace started at Dalton Aggregate Supply, where Julie
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: had worked as office manager for nine years. He spoke
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: to coworkers, vendors, the owner Steve Cordell. He pulled her
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: files and her desk calendar. And there, in the margin
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: of a late June entry, he found a notation in
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: Julie's handwriting. It was brief. A column of figures with
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: a question mark beside them. Julie had been tracking a
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: fuel billing discrepancy, not large enough to be obvious. Precise
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: enough that only someone who checked every line item would
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: notice it. She had circled one account. and written a
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: name beside it. Zimmerman. Robert Zimmerman was 51 years old
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: in the summer of 2001. He had been fleet coordinator
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: at Dalton Aggregate for six years. He walked past Julie's
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: desk every working day. He had access to the supply yard,
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: the vehicle logs, the parking lot. He was, in the
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: vocabulary of an office, simply there, the kind of person
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: everyone recognized and no one thought about. Julie had planned
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: to bring the discrepancy to Steve Cordell after the July
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: 4th holiday. She never got the chance. Pace brought Zimmerman
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: in for a first interview. Zimmerman was calm. He said
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: he had been home alone on the evening of July 8th,
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: watching television. He named a program. He described a meal
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: he had cooked. He mentioned that he had stopped by
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: the office briefly that evening to file a delivery manifest
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: he had forgotten earlier. Then he went home. he said,
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: and stayed there. Pace could not break that alibi. There
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: were no witnesses who placed Zimmerman at the office, after hours,
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: and none who placed him anywhere else. Steve Cordell reviewed
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: the billing discrepancy and called the accounts reconcilable, if messy.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: The fuel figures could be explained by routing changes, he said.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: Nothing was confirmed as fraud. By October of 2001, Pace
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: had no physical evidence. connecting Zimmerman to Julie's body or
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: to the soybean field seven miles from the culvert, where
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: her remains were found on July 15th. The case stalled.
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: By the end of 2002, it was cold. Pace retired
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: in 2003. He kept one item from the case, a
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: single photocopy of his evidence log, folded into a shoebox.
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: He did not throw it away. But here's the thing
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: about that first interview. One line in Pace's transcript says,
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: had never been flagged for follow-up. Zimmerman had mentioned the
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: forgotten delivery manifest unprompted, volunteered it, in fact, before Pace
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: asked about his movements that evening. At the time, it
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: read as detail. The kind of specific, ordinary memory that
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: innocent people produce, Pace moved past it. That one line
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: would wait 18 years. In the spring of 2019, an
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: evidence room in Dalton County flooded. Fourteen inches of water
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: over three days. Case boxes went under. Most of Julie
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: Johnson's file was destroyed. Three items had been sealed inside
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: a plastic bag inside the box. They were the only
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: things that came out intact. The first was a set
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: of photographs of the culvert on Crestline Road, taken the
• 7:11
  Speaker 1: morning of July 9th, 2001. The second was a single
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: page from the transcript of Zimmerman's first interview with Pace.
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: One page. the only one sealed with the photos, and
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: the third was a small envelope. Inside the envelope was
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: a strip of adhesive film that had been lifted from
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: Julie's watch band in the days after the watch was recovered.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: It contained trace material, cellular debris, the kind deposited by
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: skin-to-skin contact. That envelope had never been opened in 2001.
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: The request to analyze it had been filed and denied.
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: budget constraints and a finding that the technology available at
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: the time was deemed inadequate for a profile from degraded
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: material on a weathered band. The envelope went into the
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: evidence box and waited. Ralph Hunt was 47 years old
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: and had been assigned to the Dalton County Cold Case
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: Unit for six months when the flood happened. He was
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: the one who sorted through what remained. He found the
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: three items in the sealed bag, He sent the trace
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: envelope to the state forensic lab that summer. The lab
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: returned a result in the fall of 2019. Partial male
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: epithelial profile. Skin cells, not Julie's. The profile did not
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: match anyone in the state database. Hunt flagged it and
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: kept it active. Then he read the surviving transcript page.
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: There it was. Zimmerman's mention of the forgotten delivery. Manifest.
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: July 8th. Evening. Unprompted. Hunt went to Steve Cordell and
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: asked for the archived manifest logs from that period. Cordell
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: found them in storage. Hunt checked the sequence. No manifest
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: existed for July 8. The numbered sequence showed a gap
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: exactly where Zimmerman's filing would have appeared. The log jumped
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: from the previous entry to the next without it. Zimmerman
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: had told Pace he stopped by the office to file
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: a manifest that evening. There was no manifest. There had
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: never been one. That was not a misremembered detail. That
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: was a fabricated reason for being somewhere. Now consider what
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: the evidence, at this point, actually described. Picture the Dalton
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: Aggregate Supply parking lot on the evening of July 8th.
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: It is after business hours. Julie Johnson's car is still there.
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: She is standing near it because she has stayed late.
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: She had been doing that in the days since she
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: found the billing discrepancy. Working through the figures. Working through
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: the figures. making sure she understood what she was looking
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: at before she brought it to Cordell. Zimmerman comes into
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: that parking lot. He has routine access. His arrival is
• 9:54
  Speaker 1: not alarming. He has been part of the landscape of
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: that office for six years. One version of what happened
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: next places the confrontation outside, by the cars. Julie had
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: a printed summary of the discrepancy. She had been careful.
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: She would not have let it go without asking him directly.
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: Because that is what precision looks like when it belongs
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: to a person, not just a habit. Zimmerman's alibi. on
• 10:19
  Speaker 1: its face, was designed to explain one specific thing. His
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: presence near the office that evening, a forgotten manifest gave
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: him a reason to be there, and a reason to leave.
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: It was neat, it was procedural, and it might have
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: worked indefinitely, except that it required an actual manifest to exist.
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: But there is a second version that the evidence also supported,
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: and this is the version that Hunt could not yet
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: rule out in the fall of 2019. The confrontation might
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: not have happened that evening at all. The watch might
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: have been placed in the culvert not to misdirect a
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: specific suspect path, but simply to move attention away from
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: the workplace entirely, to make the geography of the crime
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: point somewhere else. Both versions ended at the same place.
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: They just took different routes to get there. The familial
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: DNA match resolved it. In November of 2019, A relative
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: of Robert Zimmerman submitted a voluntary sample to a consumer
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: ancestry service. Forensic genealogists working with the state lab ran
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: a familial search against the epithelial profile recovered from the
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: watch band. The connection came back to Zimmerman. He was
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: 69 years old. He was living in a retirement community
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: in Pelston. He had appealed nothing because there had been
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: nothing to appeal. No one had come for him in
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: 18 years. He had lived inside his own alibi. Clean
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: and ordinary. Since the summer of 2001, Hunt went to
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: Pelston on December 3rd, 2019. Zimmerman was arrested at the
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: retirement community. At trial in the fall of 2021, the
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: jury in Dalton County convicted him of first-degree murder. He
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: was sentenced to life without parole. Two appeals followed. Both
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: were denied. In March of 2024, Zimmerman gave a recorded statement.
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: He confirmed everything. Julie had confronted him in the parking
• 12:17
  Speaker 1: lot that evening with a printed summary of the billing discrepancy.
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: He had taken her watch afterward and placed it in
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: the culvert on Crestline Road, driving out there before dawn,
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: intending to send investigators in the wrong direction. He had
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: not known the pipe had a crack along its underside seam.
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: He had not known Roger Russo would check an irrigation
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: timer that morning. And he had never considered that a
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: strip of adhesive film on a watch band sealed inside
• 12:45
  Speaker 1: a plastic envelope, could outlast a flood by 18 years
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: and still carry enough of him to matter. The watch
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: was the only object he had taken. He said he
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: placed it face up, centered, because he wanted it to
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: be found. He wanted it to be a mystery that
• 13:01
  Speaker 1: went nowhere. Patricia Voss was 81 years old when Ralph
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: Hunt called to tell her the case was closed. She
• 13:08
  Speaker 1: asked if it was someone Julie had known. Hunt said yes.
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: Patricia Voss said she had always thought so. The case
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: is closed. That fact is worth sitting with for a
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: moment because for 18 years it was not. Robert Zimmerman
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: is serving a life sentence without parole at a state
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: correctional facility in Dalton County. He was 69 years old
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: when Ralph Hunt arrested him. He is in his early
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: 70s now. The two appeals he filed after his conviction
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: were reviewed and denied. He will die inside a prison.
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: The confession he gave in March of 2024 removed every
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: remaining question. He confirmed that Julie Johnson had approached him
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: in the parking lot of Dalton Aggregate Supply on the
• 13:56
  Speaker 1: evening of July 8, 2001. She was holding a printed summary.
• 14:01
  Speaker 1: She had done the work, carefully, the way she did everything.
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: He knew what the paper meant for him. He killed
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: her that night. He placed her body in the soybean
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: field off County Road 9, roughly seven miles from where
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: he later left the watch. Before dawn, he drove out
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: to Crestline Road. He placed the Seiko inside the culvert
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: through a gap he found in the ditch. He set
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: it face up, centered. He said he wanted it found.
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: He wanted investigators to spend their time trying to explain
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: an impossible object while he walked back to his ordinary life.
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: He got 18 years of that ordinary life. He got
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: 18 years of that ordinary life. He was wrong about
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: the rest. Sandra Kohler, who was 61 years old when
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: Zimmerman grabbed her wrist in a parking lot in August
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: of 1996 and warned her to stop raising billing questions,
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: contacted the Dalton County Sheriff's Office after she saw his
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: arrest photograph in the news in 2019. She had never
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: filed a report. She had never known his full name.
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: She had quit the following week and carried the memory
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: alone for 23 years. Her account was consistent with the
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: pattern the evidence had already established. Detective Leonard Pace, who
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: worked Julie's case in 2001 and retired in 2003, kept
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: one photocopy of the evidence log in a shoebox. He
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: had never thrown it away. Pace did not live to
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: see the arrest. The record does not specify when he died.
• 15:35
  Speaker 1: only that he was gone before the case closed. But
• 15:38
  Speaker 1: the photocopy survived. Small, deliberate acts of preservation have a
• 15:43
  Speaker 1: way of mattering more than anyone expects at the time.
• 15:47
  Speaker 1: Ralph Hunt was assigned to the Dalton County Cold Case
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: Unit six months before the evidence room flooded. Six months earlier,
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: and the trace envelope would have sat in a box.
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: No one was actively reviewing. Six months later, and Hunt
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: might have arrived to find nothing sealed in plastic at all.
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: The timing was not destiny. It was accumulation. Pace's shoebox,
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: the sealed envelope, the state lab, hunts attention to one
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: unprompted line in the surviving transcript page. The manifest Zimmerman
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: claimed to have filed on the evening of July 8th
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: did not exist. The sequence gap in the archived logs
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: was confirmed by Steve Cordell. That single invented detail, volunteered
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: without prompting during his first interview with Pace, became the
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: thread Hunt pulled 18 years later. Zimmerman had believed the
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: alibi was sound. He had believed the watch would lead nowhere.
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: He had believed the trace on the band was too old,
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: too small, too degraded to matter. He was wrong on
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: all three counts. Julie Johnson was 44 years old. She
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: had worked at Dalton Aggregate Supply for nine years. She
• 16:58
  Speaker 1: kept her office precise. She fed her hollin' lob rabbits
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: Pepper and Clove at 6.15 every morning and every evening,
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: and she had not missed a feeding in three years.
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: She noticed something was wrong in the billing records. She
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: gathered the evidence carefully. She printed a summary. She walked
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: out to the parking lot on the evening of July
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: 8th to confront a man who had access to her workspace,
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: her schedule, her car. She did the right thing. It
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: cost her everything. Her daughter, Stacy, was 22 years old.
• 17:33
  Speaker 1: The night she filed the missing persons report, she identified
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: the watch instantly when investigators described it. She knew it
• 17:41
  Speaker 1: because Julie had worn it every day for eight years.
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: It had been a gift from her mother. Stacey is
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: in her mid-forties now. She spent merely half her life
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: waiting for an answer. Ralph Hunt drove to Keldron to
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: tell her in person when the arrest was made. That
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: is the kind of detail that does not make headlines
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: but stays with you He did not call. He drove.
• 18:06
  Speaker 1: Patricia Voss was 81 years old when she got the news.
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: She had been the one to notice the empty feed
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: dish at 7 in the evening on July 8th. She
• 18:17
  Speaker 1: had been the one whose observation set the whole chain
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: in motion. When Hunt told her the case was closed,
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: she asked if it was someone Julie had known. Hunt
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: said yes. She said she had always thought so. There
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: is something in that quiet certainty that is hard to name,
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: not satisfaction. Not peace exactly, more like the recognition that
