Over the past few months, several emailers have asked whatever happened to former Fox4 morning personality Julia Jackson a k a Julia Somers.

Finally we've cracked the code. She is now known as Julie Summers, who's been a reporter at Miami ABC affiliate WPLG-TV ("Local 10") since September 2004.

Jackson/Somers/Summers left Fox4's Good Day in 2003, and was replaced in August of that year by Megan Henderson. Her WPLG bio makes no mention of her Dallas ties, but does say this:

"As a morning anchor at her previous station she also discovered the possibilities of outrageous fun on live TV: an accidental wheelie in a riding lawnmower obstacle course, a hallway armadillo race gone bad, a tumble off a scooter, injuries from a laser jousting contest and hitting a high note with singing sensation Patti LaBelle."

Her ideal day in Miami is spent "hacking around a golf course -- followed by an evening of great sushi and live music."

So now you know.
