Ann Ming MBE
with Andrew Crofts
For the Love of Julie
A nightmare come true. A mother’s courage. A desperate fight for justice
HarperElement ( 2008)
When Julie, Ann Ming’s 22-year-old daughter, went missing, she was certain she had been murdered. Despite extensive searches of Julie’s house and the surrounding area, the police failed to find her, but three months later, Ann was horrified to discover her daughter’s body, still in the house. A violent local man, Billy Dunlop, was tried for murder but walked free. Knowing he could not be tried again under the law of double jeopardy, he callously bragged about his ‘perfect crime’. But Dunlop had not reckoned on the steely determination of Ann Ming, who would make legal history by overturning the law, for which she received an MBE.
