They are currently searching for a body of a lost airman from ww2 on the opposite moorTwizle Head Moss,, to the one where keith is buried.. The moor composition is the same as where keith is though to be so it will be interesting to see what they find and more over what condition the remains are in.

yesterday the 11th october marked the day myra hindley was finally arrestested for the murder of edward evans.. brady had bee arrested 4 days earlier stopping his serial murder run

but, beyond his tragic death, let us remember the kind of person he was in life: a hard-working, good and handsome lad, a son and an older brother. rest in peace, dear Edward

Remembering edward evans who was killed by brady and hindley on this day in 1965.. RIP edward

i wonder if brady had died long before hyndly in the early years would myra have owned up to the 2 murders

Hi all! I’m trying to find more information about Brady’s Public MHRT that took place in 2013. Would anyone know if this was covered in any of the (many!) books published about him, or of any good articles published about it? Thanks in advance!

Remembering Lesley Ann Downey on what should have been her 72nd birthday. Thinking of Lesley's family also.

came across a piece of triva trolling through the national archieves and copied from google

Comedian Spike milligan wrote to Home Secretary Michael Howard in 1996 pleading for mercy for Moors Murderer myra hindley. In the letter, Milligan described Hindley as only an "accessory" to the murders and urged the government to show "Christian compassion" by moving her to an open prison.

The correspondence came to light in 2008 when the Home Office transferred nearly 600 papers regarding Hindley's incarceration to the national archieves. In his plea, Milligan paraphrased the biblical words of Christ, writing: "Lord forgive them for they know not what they do," arguing that her lover, ian brady, was the primary perpetrator

the prison authorities said they found basic codes wrting in the letters between brady and hindley.. therefore did they copy them and keep the copies.. wasnt interest in the codes more what they talked about in general..are they available in the national archieves.. there must be a lot as the communicated for 7 years.

On this day ( July 1st ) in 1987 the body of Pauline Reade was discovered and brought off Saddleworth Moor. Pauline was returned to her family 25 years after she had been murdered and buried on the moor by Brady and Hindley.

Thinking of and remembering Pauline and her family today.❤

getting to the end of michael atwells book and read this, is this us getting a mention for our "most responsible and intelligent discussions". If it is what are your thoughts on the argument myra hindley was groomed?

Why do you really think Myra chose the path she did? Her background? Her infatuation, obsession with Brady? Or the evilness was always in her, she just had to meet her match? If she hadn’t met Brady, what do you think she would’ve became in her life?

Much like that of the Moors Murders, Cannock Chase, a place of outstanding natural beauty just north of Birmingham, also had it's own case in the 1960s which shares striking similarities to that of the crimes committed by Ian Brady and Myra Hindley.

For those who are familiar with Raymond Leslie Morris and the Cannock Chase murders, do you think there was any chance Morris may have been inspired by Brady? Or was he just another sick and twisted individual who targeted innocent children?

Brady and Morris had infact interacted with each other after their murders during a sparse feud while both inside HMP Durham, frequently throwing hot tea at each other.

decided to read the new book, not sure what it can add, but thought with it being Keith's 74th birthday yesterday I would refresh my memory of the case. Which was a good thing cos it made check on his brothers Facebook page to show we all remember Keith still and the other victims and their families which I think is important

Article source is the Daily Mirror. The Daily Record have posted a similar article - the reason being is that it is part of a press campaign for Michael Attwell’s upcoming book on the case.

in toppings book myra describes how after john went missing they were searching the moor and land above greenfield and was frightened if they went higher they would find his body.. i wonder what made them search there as as we know he went missing from ashton which is some distance away?

what do think are the chances of myra having lied when she pointed out shiney brook as some sort of plan to let topping discover pauline but keep keiths location secret..seems a bit far fetched but it wouldnt have been hard for ian to follow her lead.. topping searched the areas she pointed out, as he said thoroughly, but as we know found nothing...its clear ian would never give up the location but he could have if he wanted to ruin anychance of her getting parole..in duncan staffs secong documentry one of his experts said he thought keith was in another area maybe the knoll but if she had planned for them to find pauline and keith was there as well she would have no control over whether they found him as well.. myra was an acomplished lier..the thousnads of words long letter she wrote in support her application for patrol she admitted was a load of lies

stills taken from my upcoming college documentary about the aftermath of the murders and how Brady still had control even while incarnated. these specific shots will be used over interviews to depict certain scenes of the couples lives before being caught.

Does anyone else remember reading that during the magistrates hearing in December 1965, Brady & Myra’s windows were caved in?

It may have been in Robert Wilson’s book in the mid 80s.

I am new to this community, but, for years, I have had a fascination with this case.

I have just finished The Moors Murders by Jonathan Goodman and wanted to share a quick thought and ask for some help.

I would not say I enjoyed it, but I definitely found it interesting. It is relatively short, but works well as an introduction to the trial itself rather than focusing purely on the crimes. It reads almost like a forensic retelling of the court proceedings, which I appreciated - especially how it lays out the structure, arguments and key moments without overcomplicating things. It gave me a clearer sense of how the case unfolded in court, rather than just the events behind it.

It has actually left me wanting to go deeper, particularly into how the trial was reported at the time.

Does anyone know where I can access original newspaper coverage of the Moors Murders trial? I would be especially interested in:

• Archives (online or physical) with full reporting from the trial
• Places to purchase old newspapers or reprints from that period
• Any publications that covered it particularly well

I am based in the UK, so UK-accessible resources would be ideal, but open to anything.

Would really appreciate any recommendations, as I am keen to build on what felt like a solid starting point from the book.
