Julie Mackay – To Hunt a Killer
Julie, who now lives locally, joined the police force in the 1980s when “Life on Mars” was still popular on TV and, over the next 30 years or so, she worked mostly as a detective. She found she had a passion for murder which culminated in a career high in solving a cold case some 31years after the offence. Despite many challenges and much enjoyment along the way she finished as Detective Superintendent In charge of a regional murder team.
This talk is about some of those challenges and her journey in policing. It offers some insight into the Melanie Road case, which she wrote about in her best seller “To Hunt a Killer.” She now works as an independent consultant conducting reviews involving domestic abuse and homicide or suicide alongside international charity work and media.
