Wife of Stephen, Julie is a violinist and seems happy and successful in both her professional and personal life on the morning she remains in bed after Kate disappears. She seems sometimes to blame Stephen for Kate's kidnapping though she apparently does not say the words. While Stephen spends all his time searching for Kate after her disappearance, Julie draws inward and has no interest in anything. She remains in a particular chair in her house for days on end, finally making something of an escape into the country, leaving Stephen behind. Julie lives there alone for the months following and later tells Stephen that she had sought solitude to come to terms with the situation.
