The Murder of Julia Majette

 

Julia Majette was shot and killed inside her home on June 12th, 2013. At the time of her death, the 25-year-old woman lived in Madison, Wisconsin with her husband, Daunte Vance, and their three young children. Reports state that at least two of the children witnessed the shooting that claimed their mother's life.

Julia's aunt and uncle, Patricia and Mark Cherry, were also staying in the residence at the time of the shooting. That evening, the couple was sleeping in the basement of the home when they awoke to the sound of someone entering the house. Shortly thereafter, they heard the sound of gunshots followed by children screaming. 

Both Julia and her husband Daunte were shot during the incident. Daunte survived the shooting, while Julia unfortunately succumbed to her injuries. The shooter(s) reportedly fled the scene before police arrived. 

Reports state that Daunte initially refused to cooperate with investigators when they tried to speak with him the day after the shooting. However, he later agreed to speak with police. This is not Daunte's first experience with gun violence. A criminal complaint indicates he was shot during an armed burglary and robbery in Fitchburg during 2007 - the same year he married Julia. 

Over a decade has passed, and Julia's murder still remains unsolved. Her loved ones are still searching for answers. If you have any information that could help solve the murder of Julia Majette, please contact the Madison Police Department at (608) 266-4275 or submit a tip online.

The Disappearance of Ande Fan

 

Ande Fan has been missing since August 8th, 2004. The then-31-year-old man was last seen in New Haven, Connecticut. At the time of his disappearance, Ande resided in New Haven at an assisted living facility called Bella Vista. The last known sighting of Ande occurred at the residence. He has never been seen or heard from again.

Ande is originally from China but had been living in New Haven since 1998. He regularly kept in touch with his mother, who was still living in China at the time of his disappearance. Ande also regularly kept in touch with his sister, who lived in San Francisco, California. Ande's sister reportedly spoke on the phone with him just a few days before his disappearance - and nothing seemed unusual during the call.

After Ande was reported missing, it was discovered that he left behind many of his personal items, including his passport, cash, keys, ATM card, and his other form of identification. Although he had expressed desire to return to China prior to his disappearance, there is no evidence to suggest he traveled there; especially as his passport was left behind. 

Ande was diagnosed with bipolar disorder and was receiving services from both his living facility, the Bella Vista, and the Continuum of Care of New Haven. Staff at Bella Vista did not notice anything unusual about Ande's behavior prior to his disappearance. There is no evidence to suggest he harmed himself.

An employee from Bella Vista noted that she last saw Ande at the facility, accompanied by a man she did not recognize. She later told reporters, "I said ‘Hi,’ and that was the last time I saw him. I’m not sure if it was the same day he disappeared. He could have come home and then gone out again.” The man Ande was with has never been identified.

Ande remains missing today. The New Haven Department of Police has jurisdiction over his case. If you have any information that could help solve Ande's disappearance, please contact authorities at 203-946-6316.
