Julie Popovich And The Lido Shuffle

Another dissappearing act that occurred happenned not too long ago in Columbus Ohio when a young Ohio University student and aspiring model named Julie Popovich dissappeearred after having last been seen with a group of friends from Lido's Lounge.

Accordding to these friends, all females, Ms. Popovich had been seen in a semi-intoxicated astate dancing and carousing with a man they did not know, though they gave a vaque description of him as beig a tall, slim, dark-skinned white man. She danced with the man, and at one point she fell and hit her head on the edge ofthe bar. Accordding to one reported version, she was actually dancing on top of the bar.

What I find questionable about this report is that, again avcorrdign toone report, there was no one else at the bar thatcould verify the authenticity of this. Nor did anyone seem to know who the man was. The young Ms. Popovich was just recently discovered, after having been missing for close to a month, at the edge of a levee. Interesting.

The friends who were with her that night were interviewed on camera, and they seemed calm enough, and didn'tseemto be hiding anything, but there is something very strange about this. Forone thing, there is no record actually that she was ever at Lido's, to my knowledge. Finally, as was the case of the Natalie Holloway dissappearrance, the story of the head injury incurred while dancing could easily be interpreted as a cover story in the event the dscovery of the body revealed an injury to the head.

Whoever reported the mishap at the bar, the head injury, should be questioned thoroughly. Something about this story just don't smell right. Ms. Popovich was reported to have been dismayed over the recent end of a relationship, and was suppossedly yet very chummy witht he mysterious man she allegedly spent the majority of her time at Lido's with. Who is he?

Perhaps a better question to ask might be, is he at all?

Bull fucking shit. I could care less about you, or hurting your feelings, or for that matter for her fucking family. The only thing I give a rats ass about is finding out what happenned to her and who is fucking responsible for it, and seeing that justice is done. If in the meantime if I say something to hurt your feelings, oh well, too fucking bad. Your feelings are incidental in comparison to what I'm sure she went through in her final minutes of life.

If you want to contribute something of worth to finding out the truth, you are welcome to comment. Otherwise, stay out of the fucking way.

Just because there's somebody in custody doesn't mean they have the guilty party, does it now? Or are you unaware that, at least for the time being, any accussed party still has the presumption of innocence until proven otherwise? Of course, it probably is a good thing for you and Julie's other "friends" that a convenient suspect emerged to hang the crime on. You see, in way toomany cases, the police tend to want to get thesse things over with as quickly as possible. Their philosophy seems to be, don't let the true facts get in the way of us winning public approval by means of a speedy conviction. If it were nto for the present suspect, you might well be the one they wopuld be looking at.

As for your coment about "idiots" like me, I have only one thing to say about that. If she had been with me that night, she would still be alive, because I would have been looking out for her, as it should have been obvious to you and the others-seeing as how yu reported she was so drunk she hit her head on the bar while dancing. Of course, I have only your word for that as well, seeing as how, according to the last report I heard, you and your other friends were the only one who seems to have seen this. At any rate, this "idiot" you are determined to slam would have looked out for her welfare, whatever the case.

You know the old saying, hackneyed as it sounds-"with friends ike you"

But naw- I wouldn't want to sound cruel.

wow! I cant believe everything Ive read about this case. I did not know Julie or Adam but I do know what happened the previous summer 04. When Julie was found we reported somes things- only to get a call back saying a man was in custody. Who Jumped the gun? its hard finding people to listen when they already have THE GUY. I cant believe everything i have researched was not done in this case. All the bases they missed. Its amazing how much was missed when you only look at one person. ok- so why isnt their any physical evidence linking Adam? No hairs at least in whatever car he used to drive all the way out to Hoover? arent there plenty other areas close ledos to dispose of a body? I thought the typical killer gets rid of a body as fast as possible? Or did he get her to go all the way to hoover? Who has made that trek from ledos to the location she was found? I have. Its not easy especially if you were drinking all night. I did it sober in the daylight! How did Adam know about that lil gravel drive and put her behind that shed. Then he had to drive ALL the way back to his house? Was he familiar with the hoover area? The I D card was found across the dam from her body- Why wasnt she put in the woods in that parking lot? She was obviously there. ? Or Did the killer know of a better spot across the dam to put her body? hmm? Did adam really make all those stops?! Im sorry but nothing makes sense when you look at the whole picture. If the i d was found on one side of the dam and she the other then adam would have driven over the dam at least twice before returning all the way home home!I read questionable cell phone records have him in prison? not DNA? Nothing else? It almost seems like a lot of finger pointing for a large reward split. I also believe the spot where the i d was found looks like a public area for fishing and docking some boats. I Know there are boats there now in june. Im sure they are there in august along with people fishing there late at night. did he pull in there to "hang out" With her? Because i would think you would fear another car possibly pulling in or seeing you from smothers rd. So how did the i d just fall out there or was it placed there to throw people off and think she was in the water? Remember this case became pretty high profile in the media. I ask for everyone to start from ledos at 1am on a thursday morning (dont be drunk though) and drive to the location of the i d and then across the dam to where she was left and then back across the dam and then back to Adams house. Have fun! then think about how that trek would be drunk! But if the suspect were sober and ------ then the trek wouldnt be so hard. Yes ive been investigating this for some time now because nobody would listen or help. I hope we get the right people to look at the case again and cover all the bases
