Julie Hogg had just seperated from her partner in 1989 and had a young son to provide for. the young mum left her littl boy with her mum as she did every evening she had work in a local pizza shop.
She then disappeared without a trace. Cleveland Police conducted a forensic search of her home in Billingham yet found nothing. 80 days later, her mum found her decomposing body under the family bathtub.
It took 17 years, almost three trials and a change of a 300-year-law to bring her murderer to justice.
I’m glad that the heartfelt campaign of Julie Hogg’s family, and others like hers, have been vindicated.
