Right.
Near the end of the saga, Julie's evil older brother brother Max "spirited her away to HQ". Chris was given a five day ultimatum to come to a particular address in Cleveland and pick Julie up.
Chris's main concerns were his lack of funds(it was the end of the month and he usually blows his tugboat within the first week) and the fact that Barb thought Julie was working for Chris Hansen. Chris was eventually convinced that there was no trap waiting for him. After attending his aunt's funeral(which fell on his birthday), where he claimed to have had a vision of all of his ancestors wishing him a safe trip to Ohio. Barb also gave him $50 dollars for his birthday, which was part of the reason Chris delayed his departure.
Chris left at 5:30 AM on February 25th. He didn't tell his parents, but he did leave behind a note and a map of his planned trip. Chris managed to make it to the Ohio Turnpike before he locked himself out of his car and had to get help. Once Chris got to Cleveland, he called his parents and found out that they'd filed a missing persons report due to a semi-rational fear that he'd get himself killed.
Chris eventually reached the address, and discovered that "HQ" was the home of an elderly black lady. After realizing that Julie was not there, Chris turned around and went back to Virginia, and once he got home his parents threatened to change the locks if he ever tried to travel out of town again. The whole trip left Bob and Barb paranoid about letting Chris go anywhere, to the point that he had to go and meet Kacey in secret, and he never once told them about Jackie.

I want to hear about the 13 year old
Well, after the Ohio Trip, Chris gave Julie his PSN password.
Naturally, this now meant that a thirteen year old boy had the account. "Max" promptly took the account for himself, and since Chris used the same username/password for everything he lost a few other accounts as well.
Max called Chris up and gave him a choice--he could have Julie and let Max sell the PSN on eBay, or he could give Chris his account back and sent Julie back to her homeland, out of Chris's reach forever.
Chris assumed that this was one of those things where the guy is only pretending to give you a Sadistic Choice as a Secret Test of Character, and if you pick the morally just option he'll laugh and give you both. So naturally, he picked Julie. When Max said "Okay then, say goodbye to your PSN", Chris's brain short-circuited and he began to beg for the PSN back as well. After half an hour or so of Max dangling the account in front of Chris(who was screaming and crying and showing more emotion than he'd ever shown for any living creature the whole time), Max agreed to give him the account if he destroyed his Sonichu medal in one of two ways. He could either set it on fire or cut it apart and shove the pieces up his pooper. Chris didn't know if there were any matches in his house, and he was too lazy to go out and buy some, so he opted to put things in his butt.
A few hours later "Julie" revealed herself to be Max mid-sentence, which according to Chris was the second worst thing that has ever happened to him.
