This episode of TruRed CRIME investigates the tragic murder of Julie Minogue, a 40-year-old mother from Milford, Connecticut, who was fatally attacked by her ex-boyfriend and the father of her youngest child, 42-year-old Ewan DeWitt, a retired U.S. Marine. The case unfolds through chilling Ring camera footage showing DeWitt carrying an axe, a 911 call from her 17-year-old son Sean, and the subsequent discovery of Julie’s body in her home. The episode details DeWitt’s violent history, including a 2019 assault that left Julie with a concussion and a playpen to her head, and his repeated violations of protective orders. Despite multiple complaints, a warrant for his arrest was delayed due to procedural inaction by Milford Police Officer Scott Nablin, who failed to resubmit the application after it was returned for more information. Julie’s death—just weeks after she filed a new complaint—has sparked outrage and a lawsuit from her family, who argue the system failed her. The episode highlights systemic failures in domestic violence protection, including delayed warrants, pending charges, and inadequate inter-agency communication. It concludes with a call to action for stronger legal safeguards, expanded GPS monitoring for high-risk offenders, and community awareness, emphasizing that abuse is never acceptable and that help is available.
Protective orders are often ineffective if not enforced promptly—Julie Minogue’s death occurred just days after a new restraining order was granted.
Systemic delays in warrant processing can have fatal consequences, especially in domestic violence cases where the risk of homicide spikes after a protective order is filed.
GPS monitoring and real-time tracking of high-risk offenders could prevent future tragedies by enabling rapid response when boundaries are violated.
Victims of domestic violence must have access to comprehensive safety plans, not just paper protections, and communities must be empowered to recognize and report danger.
The legal system must improve cross-agency data sharing to ensure that law enforcement and courts are fully informed of an abuser’s history before making decisions on bail or visitation.

Systemic Failure: The Warrant That Wasn't
“The ball was dropped, the officer was put on leave while an internal investigation was done. This tragedy questions the safeguards needed in the process of obtaining a warrant.”
Aftermath and Call for Reform
“Julie did what she did to keep herself and her children safe, yet she was murdered in her own home by her ex-boyfriend and the father of her youngest child.”
“Everything she did, she did for her kid. My daughter, I should say, encountered evil, okay? A monster, as I'll call her.”
“Julie did what she did to keep herself and her children safe, yet she was murdered in her own home by her ex-boyfriend and the father of her youngest child.”
