Julie Wills
She was a model who won a trip to a Bahamas beauty contest. In
Nassau she met Abe Flocco a 28 yr old Jewish stockbroker, and he
talked her into moving to Florida, where his contacts would help her
career. After a short romance they broke up, but maintained a business
friendship.
On Friday, April 12, 1996, the 32-year-old Texas
beauty queen and her ex-boyfriend, Steven Flacco, went to a mutual
friend's birthday party. She was slashed to death later that night.

A Business Party
Abe Flocca invited Julie to a party where he promised her business
contacts. As the night wore on she received a page from her new
boyfriend and Flocco went ballistic. Julie, sensing some danger,
left the party and went to her house.

That Night She Was Slaughtered
Police say both the front and back doors of Julie's home were
locked -- and a bloody wooden stick had been wedged into the track of
the sliding glass door, apparently after her attacker had left.
Investigators also noted that nothing appeared to be missing from
Julie's home. Her purse, wallet, and valued belongings were untouched.
Additionally, there were no signs of forced entry, and Julie was found
wearing nothing but a skimpy nightgown. To investigators, this meant
two things: Julie likely knew her attacker -- and was potentially even
comfortable enough around him to let him in her home without covering
up first.

Flacco Discovers The Body
Julie got into her car and drove home after Friday's birthday
party. He denied fighting with her over the pager -- and says he
didn't hear from Julie at all over the weekend. Flacco told police
that he called her on Sunday, and got a busy signal -- so he went to
her house to check on her with a neighbor.

Police Interview Abe Flocco
According to Flacco, they looked through windows in Julie's home
and saw her lying on the floor in a pool of blood. Flacco and the
neighbor called 9-1-1 to tell them about their discovery.

Flacco Refuses To Be Interviewed
Police interviewed Flacco, who agreed to give complete a lie
detector test the next day, and give fingerprints. But police say he
never showed -- and has since refused to allow investigators to
interview him.

He had a life insurance policy on the girl, so he hired an
attorney, who used another Zionist to give him a lie detector test
needed to collect the policy. His lawyer says it is anti-Semitism at
it's worst.

Police Have A New Theory
The south Florida police say the killer was a drifter, and not the
Jewish stockbroker.
