Because it indicates she was the victim of a violent crime, prosecutors have opened a murder investigation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite the news, friends, relatives, and strangers are continuing to search for Julie, who is studying international relations and diplomacy at the University of Antwerp. &#8220;We&#8217;ve been searching for her the whole evening and night,&#8221; Elise van Espen, a relative, said on Sunday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Antwerp Police said the search was focused on an area near the Antwerp Sports Palace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Julie is described as a 23-year-old white female with long, blonde hair and of slim build. She is 1.64 meter tall (5 feet 4 inches) and was last seen wearing a green khaki winter coat and dark grey Adidas sports shoes.
