Juliana Redding Tribute

A mother's premonition can be strong and when Santa Monica resident Juliana Redding's mother called police after she hadn't heard from her for two days, Santa Monica officers found the 21-year-old aspiring model dead in her apartment. Santa Monica police Lieutenant Alex Padilla said it was unclear how long she was dead but did say it appeared that it was a result of an assault.

After moving to the area, Redding appeared in a small movie called Kathy T Gives Good Hoover  where she met her ex-boyfriend, Greg Cipes, an actor who has appeared in various primetime TV shows. Cipes told KNBC that when they broke up, she "seemed unhappy" and said that she would call him every so often saying that "she was lonely and scared being in her apartment." Redding began to work at a strip club on Sunset Blvd. when they began to drift apart.

Police are treating her death as a homicide. Redding's body was discovered at 6 p.m. on Sunday at her apartment on the 1600 block of Centinela Avenue.
