A Statewide Silver Alert has been declared.
On Wednesday, June 25, 2025, the Hendricks County Sheriff’s Office responded to a report from the parents of a missing 41-year-old white female, Julia Frederick, who resides with them. Ms. Frederick left a note to her parents on Saturday June 21st, stating she would be camping on the heavily wooded property. In the note, she stated she had her cell phone with her in case there was an emergency. It is not out of the ordinary for Ms. Frederick to camp on the property and it also is not uncommon for Ms. Frederick to be gone for days at a time.
On Saturday, June 21st, Ms. Frederick sent a text message to her mother that she was still on the property camping by the creek. On Monday June 23rd, her father drove his UTV around the property to locate Ms. Frederick. He was able to locate what he believed to be her camping site; however, she was not present.
When the Hendricks County Sheriff’s Office initially responded to the report on June 25th, all buildings in the immediate area were searched. When Ms. Frederick was not located, a drone was sent up to search the wooded areas for heat signals and none were located.
An Emergency Ping to locate Ms. Frederick’s phone was attempted but there was no information obtained; likely due to the phone being turned off. Due to the severe heat, likely shortage of food and Ms. Frederick possibly being out of medicine for her asthma inhaler, a Silver Alert was issued.
On Thursday, June 26th, the Hendricks County Sheriff’s Office initiated a Grid-Style search with emergency personnel, equipment, kayaks, and drones from the Eel River Township, Lizton, Pittsboro, Coatesville and Danville Fire Departments. Ms. Frederick was not located on the property or in the surrounding area. Additional resources will be utilized Friday morning to conduct a secondary Grid-Style search.
Julia Frederick is a 41year old white female, 5 feet 6 inches tall, 135 pounds, blonde hair with green eyes. No clothing description available.
Julia is missing from North Salem, Indiana which is 47 miles west of Indianapolis and was last seen on Sunday, June 21, 2025, at midnight. She is believed to be in extreme danger and may require medical assistance.
If you have any information on Julia Frederick, contact the Hendricks County Sheriff’s Department 317-839-8700 or 911.
