DIG UP YOUR MAM

What’s This Podcast
About?

A new true crime podcast, Dig Up Your Mam, dives deep into Northumbria Police’s longest-running missing person investigation—the disappearance of Ann Law. Hosted by award-winning journalist and feminist campaigner Julie Bindel, this six-part investigative series uncovers decades of mystery, injustice, and a family's relentless search for the truth. Ann Law vanished without a trace in 1973, leaving behind her two young children, Joanne and Trevor. In the years that followed, her husband, Gilbert Law, was tried for her murder but not convicted. Her body was never found. Dig Up Your Mam features exclusive first interviews with Ann’s daughter Joanne Mackel, and nephew Stephen Cassels. Julie also speaks to former detective chief inspector Gary Shaw—who sheds new light on investigative failures and unanswered questions that still haunt the case today. juliebindel.substack.com
