[Music] this story involves crimes against children at times when putting this one
00:00:19
together I just had to get up and walk away that's a horrible story so please keep that in mind before continuing the
00:00:28
Moors in England have been a matter of interest and discussion ever since their immortalization in Emily Bronte's
00:00:33
Wuthering Heights where thou er described as never-ending wild and even maddening in Thomas Hardy's Tess of the
00:00:41
d'Urbervilles he chose the English Moors as a metaphor for fear ignorance and savagery the
00:00:47
Saddleworth Moor is an area covering 400 square miles in the Peak District of North West England more widely known as
00:00:55
Greater Manchester Saddleworth Moor is a rich mixture of sweeping valleys hills and plateaus falling away to fast
00:01:02
flowing streams rocky formations jut out of the blanketed dense peat grass that covers the area the soil is poor and so
00:01:11
only the hardiest of vegetation survives standing at 1312 feet above sea level thick morning fog appears like clout
00:01:20
barely lifting from the ground the eerie stillness and silence is deafening its immensity is both daunting as well as
00:01:28
fascinating however in the 1960s the Moors came to the world's attention in a very different frightening light they
00:01:37
became the scene for some of the most notorious and sadistic crimes committed in Britain the infamous Moors Murders
00:01:48
[Music] Myra Hindley was born on the 23rd of July 1942 her mother Nellie was 22 years
00:02:13
old at the time her father Bob wasn't home for the birth he was fighting in the Second World War
00:02:19
after Mira's birth Nellie moved in with her mother Ellen Ellen lived in Gorton an area of the city of Manchester in
00:02:27
northwest England Ellen became affectionately known as gran tomorrow Nellie and Mayra lived
00:02:34
with Grand until the war ended in 1945 and Bob Hindley returned home Bob and Nellie moved into a house in the same
00:02:41
street as gran after returning from the war Bob lost his job and suffered of limp after
00:02:47
participating in street fights for money from that moment on Bob spent most of his time in pubs and when he returned
00:02:53
home drunk he'd often hit Nellie mara would come to despise her father for this on the 21st of August 1946 a new
00:03:03
baby was born into the family Mira's sister Maureen Hindley not long after Marines birth gran
00:03:11
suggested Myra moving with her bob was against the move but ended up agreeing on the condition that Myra would still
00:03:17
return home for meals the two houses were in sight of each other mara was genuinely happy with the change
00:03:25
since there was no violence at Gran's house plus her grandmother spoiled her whenever she had the chance tomorrow
00:03:32
later stated any good in me comes from my gran in 1947 at the age of five Mayra started school gran walked her to
00:03:41
peacock Street primary three minutes away from there council home in Gorton until she was 7 Mara was then allowed to
00:03:48
walk to and from school on her own as a young girl others perceived Mara as bossy in one schoolyard incident a boy
00:03:56
scratched his nails on Myra's face this resulted in Mara approaching her father Bob and asking him to teach her how to
00:04:03
fight Bob gave her some pointers and then sent Mara to look for the boy that scratched her
00:04:09
Maira found him whacked him and left him crying when she told her father he responded by ruffling her hair and
00:04:17
telling her he was proud of her from that moment on my revoir to defend not only herself in the
00:04:23
streets of Gorton but other children who needed protection as well as she grew up
00:04:28
she developed a love for reading her favorite book was the secret garden by Frances burnett her favorite school
00:04:36
subject was english where she got to write and read poetry she penned three essays that got read aloud in class and
00:04:42
one of them was bound and placed at the school's library the Hindley's were seen
00:04:48
as a respectable family in Gorton as a teenager myra and a friend babysat children in the neighborhood the two
00:04:55
girls bought chocolate for the children and even took them to the movies when myra was fifteen a close friend of hers
00:05:01
Michael drowned in an unused reservoir he was 13 they had become close after Michael got bullied and Morris stood up
00:05:09
for him she wasn't there when the accident happened and she always believed that if she had been there she
00:05:14
would have been able to save him that same year Marah left school and began working she started off in a
00:05:21
temper position with a catalogue company in Manchester's Center where Shanley lasted two weeks after that she got a
00:05:27
job at Lawrence Scott manufacturing Marah did like typing ran errands and prepared tea for the other staff in the
00:05:35
beginning she developed a good relationship with the other workers but after she received her first week's pay
00:05:40
she lost it and went to work looking sullen feeling sorry for her the other employees all chipped in some money and
00:05:47
even gave her a little more than she lost to make her feel better they were far from impressed when Myra walked into
00:05:53
work not long after saying she had lost her pay again many turned against her one of the women who remained close to
00:06:00
Myra at work invited her to a flat and changed her hair color she bleached it Myra loved it and from that moment on
00:06:09
she chose to stay blonde in the summer of 1958 at the age of sixteen myra committed to the catholic
00:06:16
church and received her first prayer book from her Auntie Myra started dating boys but maintained her religious
00:06:23
beliefs and was against sex before marriage by the end of 1958 she had a first steady boyfriend and started doing
00:06:30
all of the housework herself as practice for running her own home at the start of
00:06:36
1959 Lawrence Scott had financial difficulties and as a result Myra was made redundant
00:06:41
she was only unemployed for a short time she started work after it closed the old
00:06:46
furniture shop in Gorton as a junior typist but the wages were poor Mira's grandmother from her father's side
00:06:53
worked at the Bellevue amusement park and she was able to get Myra work there in the catering department in February
00:07:01
1960 Mara left that job for another typist job however she hated that and almost immediately started looking for
00:07:08
other work on her 18th birthday her boyfriend Ronnie proposed Myra was excited and happily showed off her
00:07:16
engagement ring to family and friends her mother Nellie wasn't thrilled though she didn't want Myra to marry her first
00:07:23
boyfriend she wanted her to enjoy the years of her youth it wasn't long before Myra started to have doubts too
00:07:30
firstly she looked at her mother and thought of her as a downtrodden wife with a boring domestic role she later
00:07:37
stated I wanted my mother to stand up for herself but she was weak and allowed daddy to bully her I hated that secondly
00:07:46
Myra started criticizing Ronnie her description of him was quote boring and mundane he cared a lot about me which
00:07:55
mattered but he didn't like dancing and we spent most of our time at stock races
00:07:59
which was his hobby apart from that Myra couldn't get past the permanent grease underneath his
00:08:06
fingernails as it reminded her of the working class and especially of her father
00:08:12
thirdly Mara looked at the people around her and said quote when I began to witness many of my friends and neighbors
00:08:20
some of whom had to get married having baby after baby almost tied to the kitchen sink and struggling to make ends
00:08:27
meet while their husbands went out every night drinking and betting away their wages just as my father had done I began
00:08:33
to feel uncomfortable and restless in the end Mara decided a very few men could be trusted and that the women she
00:08:41
knew had been trapped into family life with no money and no freedom Myra started thinking about leaving and
00:08:48
working abroad either as a nanny or entertaining in holiday camps but she couldn't go through with it she loved
00:08:55
her family and believed that if she shared her thoughts they think she was getting above herself so she decided to
00:09:01
stay put and not share with anyone what she was really thinking she considered her sister Maureen to be her best friend
00:09:08
Maureen copied Mira's thought of dress the two of them were extremely close it was in December 1960 the Mara's life
00:09:17
would change forever a friend of hers pointed out an advert for a job at Mill Woods merchandising
00:09:24
company Myra applied and secured an interview Mel Woods was in a large detached house they supplied chemicals
00:09:31
mostly to the cotton industry when Myra arrived the head of the firm greeted her
00:09:37
and set her up in a small room where she was given a typing test and then an interview after which Mara was offered a
00:09:44
job since it was still early afternoon she was invited to meet the rest of the staff members including her new boss Tom
00:09:51
Tom shared an office with two other men one was an older clerk who kindly introduced himself to Mara
00:09:59
the second was a stock clerk Ian Brady Ian Brady was born on the 2nd of January 1938 in Glasgow Scotland his birth name
00:10:12
was Ian Duncan Stewart his mother was Maggie Stuart 28 years old Maggie never revealed much about Ian's father other
00:10:20
than stating he was a journalist who died three months before Anne's birth alien didn't hear anything further about
00:10:26
his father not his name or where he was from the only detail he found out later was that he might not have died and
00:10:34
could have moved to Australia before Anne's birth Maggie had been living with a friend after his birth she found her
00:10:42
own room to rent and wanted to return to her old job of waitressing but she couldn't find anyone to take care of him
00:10:48
despite her struggles Maggie initially refused to give an up for adoption but after four months Mary
00:10:55
felt there was no other option and decided to find a foster family she came across Mary Sloane a 34 year old cotton
00:11:02
mill worker who offered her home - Ian she was married to John Sloane and they had four children of their own already
00:11:09
they lived in a two-bedroom flat we've shared washing facilities and an outside toilet the Sloane's were poor but were
00:11:17
regarded by those who knew them as a warm and respectable family Ian loved them and called Mary his MA John his
00:11:24
path and to their children his brothers and sisters Maggie still visited in every Sunday she introduced herself to
00:11:33
him as Peggy but it didn't take him long to figure out that she was his birth mother Maggie always bought him gifts
00:11:40
and clothes spoiling him whenever she could in the middle of the Second World War
00:11:45
1941 aan was three and a clawed Bank where he lived became one of the most attacked areas in the UK but according
00:11:53
to Ian he wasn't scared far from it he says he remembers the event fondly stating he found the sound
00:11:59
of exploding missiles thrilling at the age of five Ian started a Kemp and Street primary a few blocks from his
00:12:07
flat he did well academically especially in English where he won an award and got
00:12:13
praised for his meticulous style of writing socially his recollections very alien
00:12:20
once describe to those school years as quote the best period of my life I was not the stereotypical loner friends
00:12:28
formed round me eagerly in the school playground apparently I had a descriptive talent and contagious
00:12:34
enthusiasm but he has also said quote the child's gains in the playground seemed futile to me and I stood alone at
00:12:42
the edge of the crowds never fitting in one memory that didn't vary though was when his Sunday school teacher asked all
00:12:50
the children in the class if they believed in God and day in nervously said for the first time no a close
00:12:58
childhood friend who lived in the flat below the Sloane's remembered an as someone who always carried a flick knife
00:13:03
and someone who could be very violent he recalls one particular incident he once
00:13:10
tied me to a steel washing post heaped in newspapers around my legs and set fire to them I can still remember
00:13:16
feeling dizzy with the smoke before I blacked out he added that all of the kids he hung around were rough back then
00:13:22
but Ian was by far the worst Ian acquired a love for animals while living with the slides
00:13:29
he started off being cruel towards them until one day he came across a fallen horse in the street it had a broken leg
00:13:36
and Ian couldn't stop looking at the suffering in the animal's eyes he ended up so distressed at the sight that he
00:13:43
ran home crying the entire way after that the Sloane's bought a dock and Ian couldn't have loved that anymore
00:13:50
it was at this point in time that Ian started preferring animals to people in 1947 when Ian was 9 years old the entire
00:14:00
Sloan family went for a picnic to Loch Lomond and saw for the first time what an open
00:14:06
vast scenery looked like quote confronting a see armoire or standing on a mountain you can almost hear the
00:14:14
unknown invisible presences you know they are there almost within touch speaking in archaic language and you
00:14:22
feel the power rise up within as you become a receiver you feel a surge of ultimate energy and power that makes you
00:14:29
laugh with pure delight or cry with gratitude when the Sloane's had packed everything up and were ready to head
00:14:36
back home they found a in steaming on one of the hills staring off in the distance captivated that same year there
00:14:44
was a slum clearance program in Clydebank families were examined before being allocated new homes the Sloane's
00:14:52
were resettled in a 3-bedroom semi-detached house with a garden and indoor bathroom in what was considered a
00:14:58
select estate in Pollock they had woods nearby as well as the river cart ian couldn't have been happier with the
00:15:05
move and two loved working in the garden the one downside was that his mother's visits became less frequent since she
00:15:12
had been dating an ex Army soldier Patrick Brady Maggie started by skipping Sunday visits
00:15:18
and then when Patrick had to move to Manchester for work she went with him and didn't see him anymore at all she
00:15:25
kept in contact solely through letters at the age of 12 Ian started at shoreland Academy a
00:15:32
secondary school where students were mostly from wealthy families but authorities had just made a new wing to
00:15:37
add children from the working class Ian came under notice almost immediately for
00:15:43
reading many books about the Nazis he talked about the Nazi Party constantly and when he played war games with the
00:15:49
other children he insisted on being a German and giving the Nazi salute he also started collecting Nazi memorabilia
00:15:56
and told the other boys who had brothers in the army to bring him back anything they could from Germany
00:16:02
in 1950 maggie married Patrick Brady her and Ian had fallen out of contact almost
00:16:09
completely at this point and he didn't attend her wedding in Manchester choosing instead to go on holidays with
00:16:14
the Sloane's upon returning to guys go after holidays Ian did his first break-in he claimed he didn't take
00:16:22
anything and only looked around the house but soon after his first break-in he joined a gang and continued to break
00:16:28
into houses taking money and whatever else he could find in May 1951 Ian ended up in juvenile court they placed him on
00:16:37
probation for two years he was 13 a little over a year later Ian was back in juvenile court on a new housebreaking
00:16:45
charge he was given more probation time when he was 15 he left school and worked
00:16:51
as a butchers assistant before moving on to the British railway as an engine cleaner later becoming an apprentice
00:16:57
Plato but he didn't last there and continued jumping from job to job because none of them engaged him on an
00:17:03
intellectual level yet he liked working as in his words it allowed him to accumulate working capital ian had a
00:17:13
girlfriend when he was 15 but the relationship came to an end when he saw her dancing with another boy he pulled
00:17:19
out his flick knife and threatened her with it when he was 16 he was back before the court charged with
00:17:25
housebreaking and theft the Sloane's believed that he'd be sent to prison this time but Ian's probation officer
00:17:31
offered another solution deporting him the following month December 1954 a.m. travelled by train to Manchester and his
00:17:42
birth mother Maggie who a.m. hadn't seen in six years was waiting for him at Victoria Station
00:17:47
Ian immediately took his stepfathers last name officially becoming AM Brady the three of them Maggie
00:17:55
Patrick and Ian lived in moss side Ian developed a good relationship with Patrick they both shared a love for
00:18:01
racing and betting sitting together to listen to the radio to see if they would want anything a neighbour in Mossad
00:18:08
described Ian as mostly shy and polite he appeared kind and respectful towards his mother but he was heard to make
00:18:15
racist remark about black residents living in the neighborhood he also seemed to carry
00:18:20
around more money than he should despite developing a relationship with his stepfather a in Miss Scotland Bailey
00:18:27
and would often return to visit the Sloane's on the 9th of November 1955 a year after being deported from Scotland
00:18:35
ian was charged with stealing 44 pounds of lead seals from banana boxes he was working as an errand boy at a fruit
00:18:43
market at the time and a driver are stayin to help him stock all of the led into his truck and helped him and the
00:18:49
driver sold the led to a scrap dealer but the dealer called the place and when questioned the truck driver implicated
00:18:56
Ian at Manchester Crown Court and pleaded guilty believing he'd only be given a fine he was actually sentenced
00:19:04
to two years at a borstal which were reformatory centres run by the Prison Service for offenders under the age of
00:19:10
23 they have since been described as a breeding ground for bullies and Psychopaths at this point
00:19:18
Ian found it difficult to connect emotionally with anybody he started seeing others only as people he could
00:19:24
manipulate to his own benefit he only became friends with inmates that he thought would be useful to him on the
00:19:30
outside to help commit crimes on the 10th of January 1956 Ian was transferred to Hatfield borstal a former army
00:19:39
training camp for boys of better than average intelligence with a relatively light criminal record it was located 112
00:19:47
kilometers from Manchester Ian was given a psychiatric examination and was deemed
00:19:52
unfit for national service Ian used these time running a betting syndicate and selling alcohol after
00:20:00
getting drunk and attacking a warden he was expelled and transferred to a harsher borstal located within whole
00:20:06
prison even further away from Manchester and spent two years at Hull he was given
00:20:13
training in bookkeeping after the authorities discovered he had a talent with numbers
00:20:17
well he wasn't bookkeeping Ian was making plans to rob banks when he got out he continued making contacts with
00:20:24
inmates he thought would be useful in helping him to carry out his criminal plans on the outside he stated gradually
00:20:31
I began to adopt a more studious professional attitude towards crime my instinctive form of relativism developed
00:20:39
into a pragmatic philosophy I began to choose my followers on the 14th of November 1957 at the age of 19
00:20:48
Ian was released he went back to Magnus house in Manchester Maggie had been trying hard to convince the neighbors
00:20:55
and had simply fallen in with the wrong crowd after his release Ian still acted shy and quiet and the
00:21:02
girls in the neighbourhood started seeing him as someone attractive dark and mysterious Am bounced around several
00:21:09
different jobs and moved house several times with Maggie and Patrick they eventually settled an 18 West Moreland
00:21:16
Road long sight and in a City area of Manchester they in visited long sight library regularly and started reading
00:21:25
different books that would stick with him for years to come one of them was Crime and Punishment by Fyodor
00:21:32
Dostoevsky which tells the story of Raskolnikov who rationalizes murder and suggests that a man has the right to
00:21:39
decide whether to kill or not another favorite of aliens was the work of marquis de sade whose books considered
00:21:47
murder a pleasure to experience in advance Don Taneatua among many others and finished with a strong conclusion
00:21:55
quote a killer is attracted and stimulated by the excitement of challenging the norm of stepping into
00:22:02
forbidden territory like a solitary Explorer consciously thirsting to experience that which the majority has
00:22:09
not and dare not Ian started work as a stock clerk at Mill Woods merchandising company in February 1959 he was seen as
00:22:19
neat punctual and usually polite although he was known to throw a tantrum if he lost a board game during the lunch
00:22:26
break most of the time though he kept quiet usually ate egg and cheese sandwiches for lunch and sat on his own
00:22:32
while reading books such as teach yourself German or Hitler's Mein Kampf although he had made big plans to commit
00:22:40
crimes while at the borstal and even made connections with people he thought could help he didn't take any steps to
00:22:47
make those plans a reality once he got out then he met Myra Hindley when Myra Hindley first saw Ian Brady she felt
00:22:59
rooted to the spot quote I can only describe my reaction as an immediate and fatal attraction although I had no
00:23:07
inkling then of just our fatal that would turn out to be he gave no indication that he noticed me appearing
00:23:13
to be the strong silent type I was determined I would make him notice me a few of the physical details that caught
00:23:20
her attention where his dark hair deep blue eyes fresh complexion and his well manicured fingernails which he felt were
00:23:28
in stark contrast to her boyfriend erroneous who always had grease under his nails
00:23:34
the day after her job interview at Mill woods Hindley went out with friends and gushed to them about Brady she compared
00:23:41
him to the ultimate idols back then Elvis and James Dean the first step Hindley took to get Brady to notice her
00:23:48
was to put extra care into her appearance she started working at Mill woods on the 16th of January 1961
00:23:54
and from that first day she showed up early looking her best she didn't share an office with Brady but she saw him
00:24:01
regularly at lunch breaks Brady seemed too busy playing board games or reading the Racing guides to
00:24:07
notice her Hindley didn't see what others saw she never saw Brady throwing tantrums when losing games
00:24:14
she thought he always seemed calm and collected she did hear him shouting on the phone if he lost at the races but
00:24:20
that seemed understandable she also heard him talking to other colleagues about the books he read but as much as
00:24:26
Henley noticed him Brady didn't seem to notice her at all hinder Lee's next step
00:24:32
was to break off her engagement to her boyfriend Ronny she explained to a friend he was too childish and they
00:24:37
weren't even saving money for the marriage Ronny couldn't believe the news and ranked Mill words constantly trying to
00:24:44
convince him Lee to get back with him into his boss Tom ended up having to warn Ronnie to stop calling or he'd send
00:24:50
the police for a period of almost an entire year Brady didn't notice Hindley the way she wanted him till he said
00:24:57
there was a year of emotional torture which I've never experienced before I went from loving him to hating him and
00:25:04
loving and hating him at the same time when he smiled at me or was nice to me I felt blessed and floated on him Ian was
00:25:12
older and seemed wiser than me so cultured so exciting and different from others
00:25:18
hindley found some similarities between Brady and her father Bob stating that they both had strong dominant
00:25:25
personalities and that since her father ignored her she wasn't going to let that
00:25:29
happen again with Brady six months after starting work at Mill Woods he really began he keeping a diary she kept that
00:25:37
locked in her desk drawer in the diary Hindley kept a close record of Brady if he spoke to her what he said or if he
00:25:45
ignored her how that made her feel she filled it with information about Brady and even concluded that he might not be
00:25:52
interested in women at all one day she eavesdropped on a conversation Brady was having with a bookie and she found out
00:25:58
his address hindley walked to Brady's Street and passed his house hoping to cross paths with him but she
00:26:04
didn't she even hung out at a pub on the corner of his Street hoping you would go
00:26:09
drinking met but she never saw him after this Hindley wrote new entries in her diary she would write she was over Brady
00:26:17
the next day she would write she was into him again and back and forth that went before writing I hope he loves me
00:26:24
and will marry me someday in December 1961 Hindley took her final step to try and
00:26:31
get Brady to notice her she visited Gorton's library and borrowed the collected works of William Wordsworth
00:26:38
the next day during the lunch break at Mill woods she started reading the book near Brady who was playing chess after a
00:26:45
while he walked over to ask her if the book was any good Hindoo he said it was marvellous Brady grabbed the book
00:26:52
flicked through the pages and said he might borrow it himself a few days later Hindley walked into Mill woods with
00:27:00
another book Songs of Innocence and experience by William Blake Brady knew the book well as he was an avid reader
00:27:07
of Blake this got the conversation flowing Mill wins Christmas party was held soon
00:27:14
after this he merely sat with some colleagues but kept staring at Brady who was drinking heavily Hindu Lee shipped
00:27:21
her rum and coke while watching the rest of the staff pair up on the dance floor
00:27:25
suddenly Brady appeared by her side and asked if she would like to dance Hindley said of course she would Brady
00:27:33
kept stepping on her feet and moved awkwardly after the party Brady walked him Lee home he asked her if she'd like
00:27:40
to meet with him later that evening she enthusiastically agreed when Hindley got
00:27:46
home she reapplied a makeup like it her hair and two then rented the bus stop Brady had said as a meeting point they
00:27:52
spent the entire evening traveling by bus going from pub to pub getting drunk they walked home since they missed the
00:27:59
last bus the Gorton and when they reached him Lee's house Brady asked if he could come in until he said no as a
00:28:06
grand might still be up Brady kissed her and said goodnight when they got back to work
00:28:13
Brady at first acted as if nothing had happened but when he caught Hindley alone he asked if she would like to go
00:28:19
to the movies Hindley agreed and described the date in her diary there was the 22nd of December 1961 and they
00:28:27
saw King of Kings which was narrated by Orson Welles who and said was his favorite actor afterwards they visited a
00:28:34
pub and day and started talking about his despise for religion although Hindley was still a Catholic she didn't
00:28:41
argue and in fact stated that Brady convinced her all her beliefs were wrong especially when Brady asked that if God
00:28:49
existed then why did he let Hindu Lee's friend Michael died when she was 15 she couldn't answer that question they went
00:28:57
back to Hindu Lee's house where she lost their virginity to Brady Hindley described it as an act of semi
00:29:03
violence provoked by her who first kissed Brady in an abrupt and demanding way they spent Christmas Eve together
00:29:11
and Hindley wanted to go to Mass Brady flat-out refused to enter a Roman Catholic Church but agreed to go to st.
00:29:18
James Anglican Church in Gorton there was a graveyard next to the church and after Mass they walked through it Brady
00:29:26
suddenly took a piss at the edge of the graves scold from a bottle of whiskey he
00:29:29
had under his coat and declared that's what I think of Christianity when Brady met Hindley's parents Bob
00:29:37
liked him but Nelly didn't she thought it was too much like Bob back at Mill woods the older Clerk retired and Brady
00:29:46
got promoted to his position so now Hindley worked for Brady and they moved into the same office Brady bought
00:29:53
himself a motorbike and would stop at him Lee's house occasionally whenever he felt like it Hindley stopped going out
00:29:59
with their friends so she could be at home just in case Brady visited little by little Brady revealed more of himself
00:30:06
to Hindley until he eventually disclosed his entire past to her Brady wasn't affectionate to Hindley in public if
00:30:13
they had a fight Brady would apologize with a gift which they called anniversary presents he
00:30:19
called Hindley either kiddo or Hess after Hitler's appointed deputy Fuhrer Rudolf Hess
00:30:27
Hindley caught Brady Nettie after one of the gun show characters which was one of
00:30:32
Brady's favorite shows they went to the movies often they loved spy dramas like double-oh-seven afterwards they'd return
00:30:40
to Hindley's and share a bottle of wine every night Brady would say goodnight and leave him Lee's house only to sneak
00:30:47
in a while later he did it to keep the neighbors from knowing they spent the night together but they weren't fooling
00:30:52
too many people Brady introduced his love for the Nazi Party to Hindley first he called her Hess then he bought her
00:31:01
German records taught her German words and that they would continuously listen to Hitler's inferno a compilation of
00:31:08
music marching songs and speeches from the Nuremberg rallies they hated most people immigrants were
00:31:15
referred to as sponges and filth while everyone else was referred to as maggots in morons but what they did love and
00:31:21
respect were animals they had Brady's dog Bruce and grants dog lassie who they loved dearly they'd go as far as getting
00:31:30
the Manchester Evening News looking for anyone convicted of animal cruelty and if they found someone they would either
00:31:36
damage their property or attack them physically Brady was extremely meticulous about his suits usually
00:31:44
having them tailor-made yet a classical and formal style of dress after meeting Brady
00:31:50
Hindley started changing her style of dress too she went for a more provocative look she stopped wearing
00:31:56
flat shoes and instead chose to letõs or knee-length boots along with short skirts or tight
00:32:01
trousers and a leather jacket these choices weren't accidental Hindley was trying to emulate
00:32:07
Erma grazer a German SS guard who is executed at the end of the Second World War and who Brady had a strong
00:32:15
infatuation for along with dressing in her stall Hindley also carried a photograph of
00:32:20
grazer in her handbag Hindley would take care of organizing everything when they
00:32:26
went out if they traveled by bus she got the tickets but they went to a pub she got the drinks if they wanted cigarettes
00:32:32
she got them if they went to the bookies Hindley would place the bet Brady would
00:32:37
pay but he wanted Hindley to get everything for him in Gorton they were known for never acknowledging or
00:32:43
speaking to anyone else while they were together at Mill woods their boss didn't
00:32:48
like them when they were together he described them as a surly and unsociable couple Brady's explanation of a
00:32:54
traditional relationship was as follows most people would marry breed further burden themselves by mortgage owned a
00:33:02
family car and leaving excruciating moderation and boredom till death do them part and he didn't want any of that
00:33:10
Hindley agreed with him even though she wrote in her diary that she hoped to marry Brady before dating him she now
00:33:17
went back to her initial idea of not wanting marriage or babies or a stable relationship or stable boring life
00:33:23
she said her and Brady had a good understanding of one another and we're of similar intellectual level
00:33:29
as well both cultured listen to classical music and read classical literature to her more than anything
00:33:37
what they shared was dissatisfaction with belonging to the working class and being trapped in it
00:33:43
one thing that maintained predominant in their relationship was books they would
00:33:48
often visit libraries and borrow books almost always under Hindu Lee's name along with the classical literature they
00:33:54
enjoyed they also borrowed books about murder and erotica - later roleplay scenes in their sex life Hindu Lee
00:34:01
stated Ian took the lead most times he enjoyed rough sex and light spankings became whippings he cited me in a way
00:34:09
that no other men had done before I needed to drink to perform for him or to do the things Ian wanted to do he liked
00:34:17
me to dress up like a tart for us to both wear hoods he enjoyed anal sex the most he also enjoyed having a candle
00:34:24
inserted up his backside it gave us both pleasure especially me because then I was in the dominant role she said the
00:34:33
pornography they used that didn't always arouse her but she went along with it for Brady's sake the author who remained
00:34:43
firmly as their favorite was French writer Marquis Assad whose books apart from seeing murderers pleasure also deal
00:34:50
with bestiality incest necrophilia and rape and in numerous passages these crimes are committed against children
00:34:58
his books were being in France until the late 1950s other governments from around
00:35:03
the world have also been these books Brady had a growing interest to rape and kill a child and what started as
00:35:10
discussions in bed with him duly evolved to the forming of a plan one final element that became like a third person
00:35:18
in their relationship with the Moors they visited the Moors every time they could mostly on weekends and in 1963
00:35:26
while lying on a blanket on the ground the Moors became the background for their plans committing a classic bank
00:35:33
robbery and committing the perfect murder of a child for what Brady called switching on the dark
00:35:40
Hindley stated quote I found it exciting to swim against the tide to do things that others would never dream of I just
00:35:49
don't know how much but I've always wanted something different more exciting I've never been satisfied with any
00:35:55
situation for long however what excited her was not killing people initially but
00:36:01
criminal activities such as the perfect bank robbery its planning and execution the perfect bank robbery never got any
00:36:09
further than Brady telling Hindley he would get in touch with one of the inmates he met in the borstal Brady
00:36:16
requested Hindley Reeve compulsion on my eleven to use as a blueprint for murder
00:36:21
the novel fictionalized as the murder of a 14 year old boy by two wealthy students the students believed in
00:36:29
Nietzsche's you urban inch theory where they were above other humans they were superhuman intellectually superior and
00:36:36
for that reason we're entitled to do as they wished and killed the young boy in what they thought would be the perfect
00:36:42
crime the novel was based on an actual case which took place in 1924 the case caught the attention of Brady because
00:36:50
the two killers seemed to meet in fill each other's needs lock pieces of a jigsaw puzzle
00:36:55
Brady believed this was exactly how Hindley and him work except they wouldn't make any mistakes they wouldn't
00:37:02
get caught after Hindley read the book she borrowed a black van from a neighbor who knew Hindley as a babysitter with
00:37:11
Brady sitting in the passenger seat they drove through Manchester watching children they stopped at Hindu Lee's old
00:37:17
school and Brady hid while taking pictures of schoolboys they also drove through the streets of Gorton and while
00:37:24
they were stalking several kids in Dooley tried to think of what she could say to lure a child into the van into he
00:37:31
stated quote I was considered to be good with children an excellent babysitter and able to put children at ease could I
00:37:40
therefore be considered capable of child abduction or violence towards children one part of their plan that was in no
00:37:48
doubt was that they would bury the child at the Moors they even visited the Moors
00:37:53
to rehearse Hindley said quote we used to climb up to and over the big rocks where he would
00:37:59
tell me he was going to practice carrying a body tell me to make myself as limp as possible
00:38:04
then he'd hoist me up and over his shoulder with my arms and head banging over one side and my lower body and legs
00:38:11
over the other side the blood used to rush to my head until I thought I was going to faint sometimes he would
00:38:17
stumble over a small rock or large tuft of grass and we'd both fall now a Brady quote before I met Maura it was all
00:38:25
inside me into the feeling of unreality kept me down I feared it the energy was kept in when I met her she made me feel
00:38:34
confident she believed in me and looked up to me so much that I lost thought fear ended the energy projected outwards
00:38:40
and I lost control back to a Hindu Lee quote one important aspect of our relationship was that we shared equally
00:38:49
the ability to shut down our feelings and our notions and talked of controlling the subconscious urges or
00:38:55
presenting a cold exterior disability plus the use of alcohol influenced our sexual experience and would eventually
00:39:02
influence everything in our lives we had to be able to blend into our surroundings like chameleons to exist on
00:39:09
two different places convincing others that we were normal not capable of committing crimes he taught me how to
00:39:16
conquer my emotions to do things on autopilot and to disregard the consequences I was a willing apprentice
00:39:26
Friday July 12th 1963 25 year-old Brady and 20 year-old Hindley decided it was time they went to work that day
00:39:36
finishing at 5:00 p.m. before going to hinder his house to go over their plan one more time
00:39:43
Hindley didn't have a license yet but she still drove her neighbors black bean anyway her neighbor had bought himself a
00:39:50
new car so he told him Lee she could use the van whenever she needed they agreed
00:39:55
that Hindley would drive around the streets of Gordon while Brady followed on his motorbike when Hindley saw a
00:40:01
potential victim she'd slow down if Ian approved of her choice in flashed the motorbikes
00:40:06
headlight Hindley said this about their plan he'd told me what to wear and he countered
00:40:13
the buttons on my coat he countered the buttons on his coat and jacket and shirt
00:40:18
and made a list of everything he was so methodical and precise he thought of everything every possibility
00:40:26
absolutely everything they had dinner and a little after 7:30 p.m. they left him to his place they drove slowly
00:40:35
through Taylor Street and turned right into Gorton Lane there they saw a small girl walking on her own Hindley slowed
00:40:44
down even further but sped off when she saw the girl's face it was eight-year-old Marie Rock who lived just
00:40:51
around the corner from Hindley after she sped off Brady signaled for her to stop
00:40:56
Hindley pulled over and Brady wanted to know why she hadn't picked the girl up indle he said she knew her and it was
00:41:03
too much of a risk plus an 8 year old girl going missing would bring too much heat Brady agreed
00:41:10
with him Lee and told her to drive to Ashton old road which was towards the railway line Hindley headed that
00:41:17
direction but as she turned into frocks my street from Gordon Lane she saw another girl walking on her own she knew
00:41:24
this girl as well but she was older so Hindley felt her disappearance wouldn't cause the same amount of heat as the
00:41:30
disappearance of an 8 year old Plus Emily felt that because she knew her it would be easier to get her into
00:41:36
the van Hindley pulled the van up alongside her and whispered to herself if I can do
00:41:43
this without conscience I can do anything [Music] the girl was 16 year old Pauline read
00:41:52
Pauline had gone to primary and secondary school with Maureen Hindu Lee's sister she worshiped at Saint
00:41:58
Francis where Emily had gone since she was a child until she met Brady Pauline's father was a regular at the
00:42:04
same pub as Bob and Lee's father and they often had drinks together Hindley was also friendly with poor lanes mother
00:42:10
Joan Pauline had a good relationship with her mother Joan her father Amos and her older brother Paul she had dark hair
00:42:18
and blue eyes loved dancing and composed songs and poems Pauline had kept the same tight group of friends her entire
00:42:26
life her best friend was packed Cummings they loved going to dances together and
00:42:31
would often plan to go dress the same Pat Cummings said this about her best friend Pauline she was very quiet when
00:42:39
she came to our house she would ask me to walk her home if it was dark she was very frightened she was not the sort to
00:42:45
get into a car with a stranger Pauline was a trainee Baker she worked with her father and Gordon her photograph
00:42:53
appeared in the Gordon reporter after she finished as one of three winners in a Christmas cake competition in 1962 she
00:43:00
loved her job in that Friday the 12th of July 63 she finished her shift by herself her
00:43:07
father had already left to go home for a quick nap before heading to the pub Pauline left the bakery and went to a
00:43:14
friend's house Linda she asked Linda to go to the dance of the British Railways social club that night Linda's mother
00:43:21
didn't let her since alcohol would be sold there Pauline then went to see another friend again the answer was no
00:43:28
because the alcohol would be sold Pauline returned home and asked her mother Joan if she could talk to some of
00:43:35
her friends mother's to try and persuade them so she didn't have to go to the dance alone Joan agreed and Pauline went
00:43:42
upstairs to get ready she had recently bought a twist frock which she wore along with white shoes a
00:43:48
blue coat and white gloves she put 10 shillings in her pocket and walked downstairs Joan gave her one of
00:43:55
her lockets to wear Joan didn't have any luck convincing Pauline's friends mother's so Pauline left for the dance
00:44:03
on her own she walked through Eaton Street past him Lee's parents house and when she got to Gorton Lane her best
00:44:10
friend Pat coming Sawyer Pat had heard about Pauline going to the dance and she couldn't believe she go on
00:44:17
her own since she was usually so sure Pat convinced another friend to go with her and do they decided to surprise
00:44:24
Pauline by meeting her at the dance they knew which way she would walk so we're waiting for her as she walked along
00:44:31
Gorton Lane it was just after 8:00 p.m. they followed her to frocks mystery but then Pat and her friend waited until
00:44:38
they lost sight of Pauline they then ran to the dance another way with the plan being to beat Pauline there so they
00:44:45
could surprise her at the entrance they waited for Pauline excited to surprise her but as the minutes ticked by and
00:44:52
there was no sign of her Pat decided Pauline must have chickened out coming to the dance by herself and had turned
00:44:58
around and gone home Pat no friend left in frocks mystery Hindu Lee pulled up next to Pauline and asked if she'd like
00:45:09
a lift since Paul a new Henry and her family she accepted and got into the van Hindu Lee opened the passenger door for
00:45:17
her Bradley stopped his motorbike nearby as him Lee drove off she asked Pauline if she would mind taking a quick detour
00:45:25
hindley said she had lost the glove which was of great sentimental value to her and wanted to go to the outskirts of
00:45:32
the city to try and find it she offered to give Pauline several records as a reward for her help
00:45:38
Pauline agreed and - Hinda Lee drove towards Saddleworth Moor 22 kilometres away
00:45:46
Pauline herself had actually lost one of her gloves at night just after she left
00:45:50
home her mother Joan found it when she opened the front door to let some air in after Pauline had left for the dance
00:45:57
Joan picked the garb up and placed it in a kitchen drawer she went to bed feeling
00:46:01
a lot more anxious about letting Pauline go to the dance alone on the way to settle worth more
00:46:07
Hindley couldn't stop thinking about Pauline's perfume it reminded her of the perfume she wore herself Savile's June
00:46:16
Pauline suddenly interrupted the silence between them to ask about Brady indle he said he was busy but would head
00:46:23
up to Saddleworth Moor to help look for the club when he was free the truth was he was right behind them Hindley was
00:46:31
gripping the steering wheel very tightly her knuckles were white and she was barely speaking
00:46:36
Pauline asked if she was okay indle he didn't respond when they arrived at Saddleworth Moor
00:46:44
Hindley turned off the engine and they both got out what happens next depends on whose version you go with brady's or
00:46:53
Hindley's according to Hindu Lee Brady had overtaken them before they got to the mall and was waiting for them
00:46:59
Hindley pretended to be surprised the see Brady told Hindley to move the van to a safer spot as she did so Pauline
00:47:08
walked with Brady to search for Hindley's Bluff Hindley watched as Brady and Pauline
00:47:13
walked over the rocks of the mall Pauline stumbled on the rocks and it was at that point Hindley looked away and
00:47:20
concentrated on moving the van she stayed in the van and doesn't know what happened but Brady later banged on the
00:47:27
window and told her he needed help with Pauline's body Brady totally disagrees he said Hindley
00:47:35
was with them when they walked over the rocks and - not only did Hindley see exactly what happened she joined in
00:47:42
she took an active part in a sexual assault physically beaten tortured Pauline and then snatched the locket and
00:47:50
mother had given her same you won't need that where you're going Brady claims he struck in Delhi during
00:47:57
the attack because he was horrified at her attitude and behavior his exact words were quote although I dropped to
00:48:04
the depths of depravity Myra dropped even further it is human nature that if caught the pupil will blame the master
00:48:11
for his criminal conduct but should the criminal enterprises succeed I can assure you from wide personal experience
00:48:19
the pupil zeal and devotion to criminal activities cannot do that of the master like that of a convert regardless on who
00:48:29
is telling the truth if either of them even our Hindu Lee agrees she assisted Brady after the murder she said that
00:48:37
after Brady stopped complaining about how much of a fight Pauline put up he told her to wait with her body while he
00:48:43
searched first bait he'd hidden pullings throat had been cut so deep she was almost decapitated about this specific
00:48:52
moment Hindu Lee said quote I moved this far away from her as possible hahhh stood and looked at the dark
00:48:59
outline of the rocks against the horizon of the dark sky three people died that night
00:49:05
Pauline my soul and God when Brady returned with the Spade he told Hindley to go back to the van and watch the road
00:49:14
after a while Brady joined Hindley at the van he was carrying the Spade and the knife he put
00:49:22
the Spade inside a plastic bag and placed it in the back of the van he wiped the knife on the grass and then
00:49:28
wrapped it in newspaper before putting it on the dashboard they then put Brady's motorbike in the back of the van
00:49:34
using planks of wood as a ramp hitting the motorbike in the back of the van had been part of their planning they had
00:49:41
practiced the routine many times to make sure they could do it quickly they then headed back to Gordon the time
00:49:47
was 10:30 p.m. on the way back to Gordon Hindu he says I felt doubly doomed first by the crime itself and also
00:49:57
because I believe that was impossible to Envisat your hope for any other kind of
00:50:01
existence on their way back home and they drove through Gordon Lane and saw Pauline's mother Joan and her brother
00:50:08
pour out looking for her Hindley pointed them out to Brady they reached a small farm near him to his house and parked
00:50:17
the van they took the motor bike out Brady grabbed the Spade and knife and they walked to him Lee's house Brady
00:50:24
walked through the back door and blocked the Spade and knife in a cupboard Brady then came up with a plan to get
00:50:31
rid of what he called forensic Brady compiled a list of everything they needed to do the first that was cleaning
00:50:38
the van Hindley prepared a bucket of boiling water and using a sponge Brady wiped down the inside the outside
00:50:45
and the tires when he believed it was clean enough they returned to him Lee's house
00:50:51
they placed the plastic sheet on the living-room floor in front of the fireplace and Brady started cutting all
00:50:57
of his clothes up into small pieces so that would be easier to burn along with his clothes he also burned his shoes he
00:51:05
grabbed the Spade and knife from the cupboard and tried to break the handle of the knife but he wasn't able to so we
00:51:11
threw it into the fire in one piece Hindley said she didn't have any blood on her clothes so she concentrated on
00:51:18
cleaning his shoes and scrubbing the cupboard where Brady had put the Spade and knife when they finished Brady said
00:51:24
I'm no longer of your world if as you might suggest I ever was Hindley had this to say about the night
00:51:32
after Pauline's death Ian and I were no longer of this world I was frightened but equally felt safe in the knowledge
00:51:40
that I was a worthy apprentice we celebrated our bonding with drink and sex I would lay myself open to an in a
00:51:48
physical demonstration of our unity Ian and I became further bonded by the blood of our victims
00:51:56
Hindley denied gaining any sexual gratification from the murder but said she gained a sense of security due to
00:52:02
the fact that her and Brady could not be safe without the other quote there were
00:52:07
times when we would be paranoid about each other but loyalty was a duty we both respected there was no room for
00:52:13
weakness or treachery the secret was shared beyond us together more closely than any ties of affection possibly
00:52:20
could in the meantime Pauline's parents Joan and Amos and her brother Paul continued searching the
00:52:27
streets for Pauline Amos broke away from the search to make a police report or journey and Paul kept looking at one
00:52:35
point during the search Jones saw Linda the first friend Pauline had asked to go
00:52:39
to the dance Jane lashed out at her and told her Pauline wouldn't be missing if she
00:52:44
discontent the dance with her Linda ran home crying the next morning Saturday the 13th of July 1963 Hindley
00:52:54
and Brady woke up early about 6:45 a.m. brandy cursed when he discovered bloodstains on
00:53:00
the color of his coat he took her to the sink and dabbed at the bloodstains with
00:53:05
a piece of cloth trying to remove them when he finished he cleaned up the remains from the fireplace wrapped them
00:53:11
in newspaper and threw them away except for the knife the knife was blackened but not completely destroyed he wrapped
00:53:19
that in a separate sheet of the Manchester Evening News and kept it to dispose of later after they had
00:53:26
breakfast they rode to turn on Brady's motorbike they left his coat at the dry cleaners under the name Kennedy who is
00:53:32
the American president at the time Brady then purchased cigarettes and a chocolate bar after he bought them
00:53:39
he told him Lee had used four half crayons from the money he found in Pauline's coat pocket
00:53:44
Hindley couldn't believe he had kept the money and told him to replace the crayons and buried the exact amount of
00:53:49
money Pauline had on her near the burial site in case the missing money could somehow be traced back to them
00:53:56
Brady was at first annoyed by Henry's reaction but after considering it further conceded she might be right
00:54:03
they continued writing to Macclesfield about 32 kilometers south of Manchester Brady threw the knife into the river and
00:54:11
then burnt the newspaper it was wrapped in there were children playing nearby the next morning they got on Brady's
00:54:18
motorbike again and rode too subtle worth more Brady replaced the coins he had taken from Pauline and scattered
00:54:25
them around the crime scene Brady then bought Hindley a record there was the theme song to the 1962 film the
00:54:32
legions last patrol as it was titled in the UK it was called commando in the US the theme song was by Ken thorn and his
00:54:40
orchestra brady quartered an anniversary gift for the anniversary of their perfect crime now if either of them
00:54:48
hunger tune it would be a private reference to Pauline when they returned to Hindley's house they found Henry's
00:54:56
mother Nellie her sister Maureen and her grant inside discussing Pauline's disappearance Hindley wasn't quite right
00:55:04
thinking Pauline's disappearance wouldn't create as much heat there's an 8 year old people were worried there was
00:55:09
the talk of the town one neighbor said we all knew each other and that's partly why Pauline's disappearance made people
00:55:16
so nervous everyone tried to keep an open mind about it because people didn't just vanish in those days if they did it
00:55:23
was with good reason but with Pauline no one knew what to think and threw everything off kilter
00:55:29
her family were absolutely positive she hadn't run away and we believed them but
00:55:34
if she hadn't run away what had happened to her there was no explanation no clue
00:55:41
the police were unable to find any evidence to help them work out what had happened to Pauline and with that came
00:55:48
the rumours Pauline had left him with a fairground worker or she had run away to
00:55:53
Australia but to anyone who really knew her that was impossible Pauline wasn't the type of girl to run off without
00:56:01
telling anyone plus she didn't have a reason to Pauline's mother Joan was quoted in the
00:56:07
Gorton and Openshaw reporter one week her disappearance this is a complete mystery Pauline has no boyfriends and
00:56:15
there has not been a fight at home we would rather know that she was safe and half Oh back home no matter what she may
00:56:21
have done the money Pauline had in her coat pocket was mentioned in this article when he knew he read it she felt
00:56:29
relieved she had told Brady to replace the coins on the 23rd of July 1963 11 days after Pauline's murder in delete'
00:56:38
turned 21 Brady gave her a gold-plated watch the neighbor who lent him dahlias ven told
00:56:45
her she could now keep it as a 21st birthday present not long after Hindley and Brady painted the VINs interior what
00:56:53
so that if there were any forensic traces left they'd now be gone they returned to
00:56:59
subtle worth more regularly according to Hindley returning to Pauline's burial site Tom Brady and gave
00:57:05
him renewed sense of dominion the Gorton an open sure reporter kept on writing articles about Pauline three weeks after
00:57:13
the murder August 2nd sixty three there was a feature article on the front page Joan was quoted she used to go dancing
00:57:21
often I was not worried at first but I became alarmed when she failed to return there will be no trouble for Pauline
00:57:28
when she does come home the police were also quoted the search has drawn a complete blank and we are
00:57:35
very anxious about this situation police had drained a large section of the canal
00:57:40
near where she was last seen they used tracker dogs dragged other nearby ponds visited Fairgrounds coffee
00:57:46
bars cinemas knocked on all the doors they could question as many people as they could but it turned up nothing
00:57:54
along with the police inquiry there was a known fact that poor lanes family were
00:57:58
continuing their own search Amos and Jane were always spotted out looking often in the very early hours of the
00:58:04
morning Jane said I was always looking by even went house-to-house thinking I'd find her in one of the houses I was
00:58:12
always ready with my coat on to run out as soon as daylight came I went miles on
00:58:17
my own traveling on buses and thinking I'd see her getting on one bus and running after another bus that summer
00:58:27
Hindley and Brady went on a holiday to Scotland before they left English stopped at the police station to
00:58:33
ask a favor she asked them to please watch her fan while she was away it wasn't the first time Hindley and Brady
00:58:40
had traveled to Scotland together Brady had previously shown Hindley around pointing out the houses he grew up in on
00:58:46
these trips they would sometimes come across children by themselves but Brady told Hindley he would never hurt a
00:58:52
fellow Scot when they returned home from their trip to Scotland a police officer
00:58:58
knocked on Emily's door it was about the van Heelys fear quickly turned to relief
00:59:04
when the officer asked if Hindley would be interested in telling him of n Kindle
00:59:10
he was open to the idea and they agreed on a price of 25 pounds but the officer said he couldn't exchange money while on
00:59:16
duty so he offered to take Hindley on a night out and pay her the money then Hindley agreed when Hindley told Brady
00:59:25
about the encounter he laughed hysterically Hindley laughed along with him in Dulli state the police officer went
00:59:33
ahead he picked her up on his motorbike and they went to a pub in Gordon after the pub the officer drove her home
00:59:40
Hindley invited him inside for a cup of tea while sitting in the living room Hindley mentioned that she was in a
00:59:46
serious relationship with Brady but it wasn't long before they started kissing and then slept together at one point
00:59:54
Hindley says she wanted to tell the officer about Pauline but she thought better of it instead she asked him
01:00:00
whether she should apply to join the police force they made plans to meet again he knew he was serious about wanting to
01:00:08
join the police force she went to Mill Street Station for an interview they determined she was
01:00:13
suitable for training and gave her an application form when she's told Brady he laughed hysterically and said join
01:00:19
the force he'll pick up a lot of useful information once Brady said this Hindley
01:00:25
didn't want to join any longer realizing where it would lead one thing Brady didn't find hysterically funny was the
01:00:33
possibility Hindley was sleeping with a police officer he was starting to suspect it when he confronted her about
01:00:39
it Hindley remained silent so he knew then his suspicions were confirmed Hindoo he
01:00:45
said Brady threatened to kill the officer the officer himself said Brady turned up at Hindley's house while he
01:00:51
was there and told him to back off still they continued their affair for months despite the fact Hindley remained with
01:00:58
Brady and the police officer remained with his wife in early November 1963 until he started visiting a gun club
01:01:07
there was Brady's idea Brady had started talking about bank robberies again and said they would need guns for the
01:01:13
robbery Brady couldn't get guns because of his criminal record Hindley didn't have much shooting talent
01:01:19
she was forever worrying about the kick and she'd always close her eyes before shooting
01:01:25
Hindley purchased the Webley 45 for 8 piants and a nickel-plated two-inch barrel Smith & Wesson 38 for 5 pounds
01:01:33
she later purchased the target rifle from a store in Manchester Brady in Hindley took the guns to the Moors and
01:01:40
shot at 10 cans Brady had a fascination with the guns and would spend hours cleaning them one time while cleaning
01:01:47
the rifle he pointed it at Hindley his fingers slowly pulling the trigger Hindley didn't know if it was loaded or
01:01:54
not she said shoot me and put me out of my misery Brady laughed and moved the rifle away
01:02:01
acting like nothing had happened a few days later Hindley was cleaning the Webley 45 she pointed it at Brady
01:02:08
and told him it was loaded Brady looked at her with a petrified expression he tried to move away but
01:02:15
froze when Hindley released the safety until he started shaking then threw it at him asking him how he felt having a
01:02:23
gun pointed at him Hindley started crying and Brady smacked her in the head twice telling her she
01:02:29
was getting too far out of line and a warning her to watch it or he would put her in a place once and for all by mid
01:02:41
November 1963 four months since Portland's murder Brady and Hindley started planning another one
01:02:47
according to Hindley they were in the living room at her home watching television when Brady said I want to do
01:02:54
another one Hindley claims she told him she didn't want to be involved Brady told her she'd
01:03:00
only have to coerce the victim into a hired car he also told her that this time he wanted a child firstly because
01:03:08
of his sexual attraction to children and secondly because of the way Pauline had
01:03:12
struggled he wanted someone he could handle better someone who wouldn't stand a chance against him before putting the
01:03:20
new plan into action Hindley slept with the police officer one last time then told him they were
01:03:25
finished he accepted that paid him Lee for the van and said goodbye Hindley believed that with him things would have
01:03:33
turned out differently quote if we'd met before Ian and I did I knew that the love that
01:03:39
had grown between us would have blossomed I would have had no hesitation in marrying and having children with him
01:03:46
Hindley tried to hire a car however she had only just gotten her license even though she had driven often without one
01:03:53
her proper license wasn't ready and all she had was a slip of paper saying that she'd passed the test the rental agency
01:04:01
rejected the slip of paper and wouldn't allow her to hire a car when she got her
01:04:06
proper license she returned to the rental agency and hired a white Ford for the following weekend on Friday the 22nd
01:04:14
of November 1983 Brady went to Manchester central railway station and deposited a suitcase at the luggage
01:04:21
storage filled with what he called incriminating material while he was at the station he overheard a conversation
01:04:28
that made him run over to a radio he listened in to news reports that United States President John F Kennedy had just
01:04:36
been shot dead the next morning Saturday the 23rd of November Hindley caught a bus to pick up the hire
01:04:43
car she then drove the Bradys house in Westmoreland Street when Brady saw the hire car he complained that it was too
01:04:50
clean when you finish complaining he gave Hindley another present a new record 24
01:04:57
hours from Tulsa by Gene Pitney once again this song would serve to remind them of their new victim whenever they
01:05:05
heard it or hand it to each other they drove to leek in Staffordshire 56 kilometres south of Manchester they
01:05:13
spent the morning at the roaches a prominent rocky ridge 1657 feet above sea level
01:05:20
popular with hikers and rock climbers they then drove north to Huddersfield 70 kilometres away they stopped for
01:05:27
something to eat and a coffee while in Huddersfield Hindley walked into a hardware store wearing a black week she
01:05:34
bought a spade and knife in the length of court afterwards they returned to Manchester
01:05:40
and found a cinema playing From Russia With Love the double-oh-seven film they'd already seen it but in the case
01:05:48
they were later caught and ask questions about their whereabouts they would use the cinema in that movie as their alibi
01:05:55
Healey dropped brady home and then returned home herself at 4:00 p.m. that afternoon brady road to Hindley's house
01:06:02
on his motorbike in the trunk of the hire car Hindley and Brady laid out plastic sheets and put the target rifle
01:06:08
the Spade and the flashlight on top Hindley put on her week in a headscarf and went over the plan with Brady one
01:06:16
more time once they picked up a victim Hindley would drive to the mall and let Brady in the victim out she would then
01:06:24
drive away to Greenfield which is near the entrance to the mall she would wait 30 minutes and during that time get the
01:06:30
rifle from the trunk and put it on the passenger seat then she would drive back to the mall to the spot she dropped off
01:06:37
Brady in the victim she would flash their headlights three times if everything was going to plan Brady would
01:06:43
flash the flashlight three times once they were both happy with the plan Hindley drove to Ashton under line seven
01:06:52
kilometers north of Gordon they chose Ashton under line as it had a popular market on the weekends and on
01:06:59
this particular Saturday there were over 100 stalls Brady and Hindley were easily
01:07:04
able to blend in and stalk children without anyone noticing as soon as they arrived Hindu Lee went to the bathroom
01:07:12
to adjust the week entire her headscarf tighter when she walked out she started browsing the stalls until she found
01:07:19
Brady he told her he had already seen a young boy who appeared to be on his own Brady and Hindley linked dance so they
01:07:27
looked like a normal couple and Brady led her through the market until they reached the wall where the
01:07:33
boys had eating broken biscuits from a bag the boy was John Kilbride John lived in
01:07:42
a three-bedroom red brick house at 262 small Shore Lane Ashton underlined his parents were Patrick and Sheila and at
01:07:51
12 years of age John was the oldest of seven children he had brown hair big eyes and a gap-toothed smile that made
01:07:58
him recognizable in the neighborhood he always walked with hands in pockets while whistling or seen he attended
01:08:06
Saint Damien's Catholic Secondary School and was very happy there he had a lot of
01:08:10
friends and was always cheerful he was a big fan of football especially the local
01:08:15
team Ashton United his biggest passion though was movies he went to the cinema whenever he could John's grandmother
01:08:23
lived close by and he would often visit her to offer his help around the house or in the garden his grandmother
01:08:29
suffered from gall stones and wasn't able to bend over easily so she was glad to have John around that
01:08:35
morning Saturday November 23rd 1963 John had gone shopping for his grandmother after he dropped the groceries off he
01:08:44
went to the movies with three friends all three were also called John they went to the pavilion cinema which was
01:08:51
close to the market they watched the Mongols which finished at 5:00 p.m. after the movie they had no money left
01:08:57
so they decided to go to the market and offer their assistance the spooky bits for tips
01:09:03
unbeknownst to John his father Patrick had been in the market to buy shoes only 15 minutes prior since the market was
01:09:11
large and crowded the boys split up John was able to pick up a few jobs helping out the stall holders he was last seen
01:09:18
by his friends at 5:30 p.m. shortly after 5:30 indle II approached John and said you're out late for such a
01:09:26
young lad aren't you Brady was standing behind him Glee and added that they had children of their own and could only
01:09:33
imagine how worried his parents must be about him they asked him his name and where he lived he nearly offered him a
01:09:40
lift home and John accepted putting the plastic bag with broken biscuits in his pocket and jumping off the wall to join
01:09:46
them while they were walking to the car Brady and Hindley offered John a bottle of sherry they said they won in a raffle
01:09:53
John agreed did the gift in the car John sat in the front passenger seat while Brady sat in the back Hindu he
01:10:02
locked the doors Brady said the bottle of sherry they were going to give him was back at their house in Greenfield
01:10:08
next to the Moores John agreed to go with them to get the sherry when they got close to Greenfield Brady said while
01:10:16
they were there they should try and find him though he's lost class which held sentimental value to her John didn't
01:10:23
reply hinto he drove this huddle worth more and parked the car brady asked John if
01:10:30
he would help him look for him to his glove before they went back to their place to get the sherry John got out of
01:10:36
the car and stood nervously next to the door Brady fetched the flashlight from the
01:10:41
trunk the northen cord were already in the pocket of his coat he then signaled to John to follow him and they walked
01:10:49
out onto the moor Hindoo he watched as I walked away noting the big height difference between Brady and John
01:10:56
Hindley drove the green field and parked opposite up up the Clarence which was located where the road ended and the
01:11:03
moor started she parked in a dark spot and got out of the car and put the rifle and the passenger seat as instructed she
01:11:10
kept checking their clock and when thirty minutes passed she drove back to where she left Brady and John once there
01:11:16
she flashed their headlights three times in the middle of the darkness she saw three slight flashes from the flashlight
01:11:24
she turned the car around and not long after Brady appeared out of breath he opened the trunk and threw the Spade
01:11:32
inside Hindley saw that he was also holding a small shoe Brady explained it must have fallen off
01:11:39
during the attack and he only noticed that after he buried John he added that after he assaulted John he wasn't able
01:11:47
to kill him with the knife because the blade wasn't sharp enough so instead he had to strangle him with the cord after
01:11:53
killing John Brady looked up at the sky shook his fist and shouted take that you
01:11:59
bastard later he explained quote nothing less than challenging God or the indifferent
01:12:07
universe will satisfy her a form of reversed hope as it were show me your power your existence by stopping me to be
01:12:15
ignored is to be deprived of human dignity and me Brady placed the knife and cord in the
01:12:23
trunk and then got in the car he knew he drove them back to Gordon back at Hindley's house
01:12:29
Brady went through the same steps of getting rid of what he called forensic again Brady made a detailed list the
01:12:37
first step was cleaning the Spade which he did in the sink and afterwards he placed it in the cupboard along with the
01:12:43
rifle in the fireplace he burned his clothes John's shoe and the handle of the knife which was able to separate
01:12:49
easily this time he disposed of the blade separately the plastic sheeting they had laid in the trunk got thrown
01:12:56
away and they wiped down the hire car thoroughly inside and out when they finished they both sat in front of the
01:13:03
fire and drank three bottles of wine with whiskey chasers about that night Hindley had this to say quote with the
01:13:12
killing of John killbride a child I felt I'd cross the Rubicon Ian said good admitting to have crossed the Rubicon
01:13:19
was ten amount to admitting what he tried to drumming to my head that what was done was done and couldn't be undone
01:13:26
there was no going back and even after the first murder we were irrevocably beyond together and
01:13:32
more so after the second one just then he looked up at the TV there was either a football match on or late Sports News
01:13:39
he said look at that massive crowd who would miss one person two three from all the millions of people in this country
01:13:48
I didn't say their parents and family he never gave them a thought and I knew I'd
01:13:54
really have to steel myself to do the same in Ashton underline John's family was starting to worry he was usually
01:14:03
home by 5:30 p.m. but the hours continued to tick by and there was no sign of him one of his brothers Danny
01:14:10
started knocking on the doors of friends and relatives to see if they'd seen John
01:14:14
but no one had at 9:00 p.m. John's mother Sheila started to fear the worst she didn't believe he could be anywhere
01:14:22
good since they didn't have a phone she went to her sister's house and called the
01:14:26
police when the police officers walked inside the kilbride house they had that mute the TV as a news report about john
01:14:33
f kennedy's assassination was blaring while sheila was speaking to the officers she broke down crying one of
01:14:41
the officers remembered the day well many years later quote everyone knows where they were when kennedy was killed
01:14:47
and john killbride went missing a day later I was working late in the darkroom and I had a radio fixed up on one of the
01:14:55
shelves and the announcement about the little that came on there crackling over the airwaves the next day the search for
01:15:02
John kilbride started Detective Chief Inspector John Bourne was in charge of the case police visited the market and
01:15:09
inspected trucks questioned stallholders open boxes and went over just about everything in sight John's parents
01:15:17
Sheila and Danny started searching everywhere they could too they got on buses and went to different towns to see
01:15:22
if there was any sign of John deep down they knew it was pointless since there was no reason for John to run away but
01:15:29
they found it impossible to sit and wait that same morning in Gordon brainy left
01:15:34
him Lee's house and returned home to Westmoreland Street fighting a hangover Hindley returned the hire car although
01:15:41
they thought they had cleaned the car thoroughly the foreman at the car rental said it looked as if it had been through
01:15:46
a playout field two days after the murder Monday the 25th of November the Manchester Evening
01:15:53
News posted an article about John the headline read dogs joining massive economy up for boy at Mill woods all of
01:16:02
the staff are talking about the article and about John Hindley and Brady read the article and Brady felt satisfaction
01:16:09
the crimes who is committing were starting to get highly public and he later stated the audience is the value
01:16:16
and quality of the act police took over 700 statements from stallholders and people who were at the
01:16:23
market 500 posters were distributed with John's pitcher and the title have you seen this boy his brother Danny was
01:16:30
haunted especially by the posters which were everywhere he went they made him feel horrible because he
01:16:36
still had no idea where John could be on Wednesday November 27th Brady and Hindley went to the mall for what Brady
01:16:43
called a reconnaissance which meant checking that the burial sites hadn't been disturbed that same day the
01:16:50
Manchester Evening News read an article stating police would welcome anyone over
01:16:54
the age of 18 to help them join the search for John Danny also returned to school that day and everything seemed
01:17:02
different from then on every Monday the headmaster would say let's say a prayer for John Kilbride and all of the
01:17:09
children of school would turn to look at him they need didn't know what to do Sheila kept preparing meals for John at
01:17:16
dinnertime and Casey came home there was a lot of media coverage of John's disappearance it was still front-page
01:17:23
news a week later police divers searched the river team and police reported that
01:17:29
their search was focused east of Lee's Road Lee's Road was about eight kilometers away from the mall when
01:17:35
Hindley heard this report she started to panic that they were getting closer to the burial sites on Sunday December 1st
01:17:43
2000 volunteers searched through farms abandoned buildings and Parks Sheila received a tip that a boy who looked
01:17:51
like John had asked the newspaper seller in Bari located 14 kilometres north of Manchester and we are Aisling United's
01:17:57
progress John's favorite team Sheila immediately took a bus to Barry and started knocking door-to-door holding a
01:18:04
photograph of John and asking if anyone had seen him a businessman had been following the
01:18:10
search offered a reward of 100 pounds to anyone who could give information about
01:18:15
John's whereabouts while watching TV Brady asked Hindley what do you think I'll get out of doing what we've done
01:18:22
Hindley responded but it was because he was in charge he dominated and had the power over someone's life and death
01:18:29
Brady smiled at her and said good you know where I'm coming from now on December 6th the reporter newspaper said
01:18:38
the search for John kill Bryan was now the biggest search ever mounted for a missing person because of a lack of
01:18:44
actual evidence in mid-december the press contacted a parapsychologists and a psychic the parapsychologist couldn't
01:18:51
offer anything the psychic who is from Ashton underlined said she saw John out in the open some way down a slope with
01:18:58
the skyline completely barren but a tree inside a road on the right and danira stream on December 21st one month after
01:19:08
the murder Hindley once again rented a car for a new reconnaissance trip to the mall
01:19:13
Brady in Hindley did these trips often Brady like to sit at the mall and just stare for long periods of time they
01:19:21
would also go to small Shore lane and sit staring at John kill Brides house for long periods of time Hindley said
01:19:28
that up the moor John kilbride had a measure of peace but at his house his family was struggling to get through
01:19:34
each day John Gill bride's father Patrick wasn't coping any longer the police had
01:19:41
repeatedly taken him in for questioning suspecting he may have been responsible for John's disappearance
01:19:47
Patrick was starting to despise them for it Patrick ended up in a violent fight at a pub when someone hinted he was the
01:19:55
blame for John going missing on December 27th the local press did a story about Christmas at the kill bride's house they
01:20:03
took a picture showing Sheila and Patrick sitting at the table with their six children one chair was empty
01:20:09
to welcome in the new year 1964 Brady and Hindley went to the mall and Brady held a whiskey bottle up and shouted to
01:20:17
John in February 1964 Hindley bought a secondhand Austin a 40 car only 37 percent of households in the UK owned a
01:20:28
car at the time one of the first trips Hindley did with the car was furthermore with Brady for another reconnaissance
01:20:36
this time though they did something they hadn't done before they took what they called souvenirs which were photographs
01:20:44
they went on the trip with puppet him Lee's new black-and-white puppy from a litter Gran's dog glass he had Brady
01:20:51
like he did with all animals loved the dog when they reached the mall they parked and walked the poor lanes burial
01:20:58
site Bradley took a picture of him leash thinning near the site cuddling puppet then they walked over to
01:21:06
the other side of the road where John's burial site was Hindu Lee crouched down on John's burial site still holding
01:21:12
puppet she looked down to the ground and Brady snapped the picture about these souvenir photographs
01:21:20
Hindley said quote a.m. would have liked the victims to have suffered for the rest of their lives after he had abused
01:21:26
them he could only save her past experiences through items that had kept under lock and key returning at a later
01:21:32
date to rekindle the excitement some of the photographs that we took on the moors were constructed with the location
01:21:38
of the graves taken into consideration but Ian did not need a camera's image he could reproduce the image in his own
01:21:45
head the pictures were later added to a photo album along with regular family pictures
01:21:50
and holiday photos to family and friends they just look like regular happy photos
01:21:55
they didn't know the sinister secret that laid underneath at Easter Brady and Hindley travelled back to Scotland they
01:22:04
visited the memorial to Maggie war a burial site for a woman who was burnt as a witch as a young boy Brady was
01:22:11
impressed by the place and wanted Hindley to see it they stole a stone from the grave and took a picture
01:22:18
