00:03:56
quote from Winnie talking about Keith there was no harming him he enjoyed life and was very interested in nature he
00:04:03
used to pick up leaves and caterpillars and bring them home and he collected coins the day of his birthday he
00:04:10
participated in a school swimming gala where he swung a length of the old Victorian baths for the first time
00:04:15
winning a certificate later that day he accidentally dropped his glasses and broke one of the lenses when he said she
00:04:23
would fix his glasses but still hadn't gotten around to it by June 16th when he arranged for the
00:04:28
children to spend that night June 16th 1964 at their grandmother's house while she went to the 8 p.m. bingo session
00:04:35
Kate's grandmother lived in Morton Street which was known in the neighborhood as the concrete since the
00:04:41
ground was flat while the rest of the streets were cobbled there was a popular Street for children as it was much
00:04:46
easier to ride bikes and scooters Morton Street was located only three streets away from Westmoreland Street a few
00:04:55
minutes before 7:30 p.m. when he left her house with Keith the other children were already at their grandmother's
00:05:01
house Keith got ahead of Winnie who was struggling to keep up she was only a few
00:05:06
weeks away from giving birth Keith started chasing after some girls from school he knew into Winnie yelled at him
00:05:12
to be careful Keith turned around and smiled at her he kept on walking and crossed the Stockport Road when he kept
00:05:20
a vigilant eye on him as she was concerned he wouldn't be able to see cars coming without his glasses when he
00:05:26
crossed the road safely he turned and waved at his mother before heading down a side street which were taking to
00:05:32
Westmoreland Street on the way to his grandmother's when Hindley rolled down her window she
00:05:39
looked at Keith with a smile and asked if he would mind helping her carry some boxes from an off license store
00:05:45
chief immediately looked at the back seat where Brady was sitting sensing Kate's confusion
00:05:50
Hindley said Brady was there to help carry boxes - Keith thought about it for a moment and ended up agreeing he got
00:05:58
into the front passenger seat and Hindley drove off but they didn't get very far before Brady told her to stop
00:06:05
when Hindley pulled over Brady asked Keith to join him in the back seat Keith agreed and Brady started
00:06:12
telling him a story about Hindley losing a glove he said the glove was of great sentimental value to her and she lost it
00:06:19
near Greenfield Brady told Keith they would really appreciate it if he would help them look for it
00:06:25
Keith agreed when they reached the more Brady told Keith to walk with him so they could start looking for the glove
00:06:32
Brady had a new addition this visit his camera Keith followed Brady and the more
00:06:38
in tingly grabbed a pair of binoculars before locking the car and walking after them as she watched them walk ahead she
00:06:45
thought Keith looked like a little lamb to the slaughter Bradley turned around looked at Hindley and pointed towards a
00:06:52
slope Engel he went to where he pointed and watched from her binoculars but she seemed lost sight of them so she sat
00:06:59
down on the ground and waited she claimed to not hear or see a thing just the black rocks that were ahead of her
00:07:07
after about 40 minutes Bradley returned with the Spade which was covered with dirt
00:07:12
Hindley asked what happened and Bradley said that after he assaulted Keith he strangled him with a length of cord the
00:07:19
same as he had done with John except this time he took a picture of Keith's body before he buried him Brady started
00:07:26
walking back to the car in Tindall II followed Brady buried the Spade on the way they drove back to Hindley house in
00:07:33
Gorton and once again Brady came up with a list to get rid of what he called forensic
00:07:38
Brady sponged the car inside and out he cut up his clothes and gave them to Hindley who threw them into the fire
00:07:44
both of them also threw their shoes into the fire along with the court when they finished Hindu Li drove Brady
00:07:51
back to Westmoreland Street they didn't spend the night together they saw each other again at Mill woods the next day
00:07:59
Kate's family didn't realize he was missing until the next morning faith never arrived at his grandmother's house
00:08:06
so she assumed he must have stayed at home and since neither he nor when he had a phone I couldn't check in with
00:08:12
each other at 8:30 a.m. Keith's grandmother walked the other children home and when he said where's
00:08:18
our Keith Keith's grandmother explained that he never arrived both women started the panic when he
00:08:26
went to Keith's school but when there's no sign of him man she called the police
00:08:30
Kate's younger brother Alan Bennett was devastated he somehow knew that Keith wasn't coming back he left the house and
00:08:38
went to the end of the street to the wall where he incase that painted goal posts he stayed there kicking the ball
00:08:44
against the wall for a long time at 5:00 p.m. that afternoon when Brady and Hinda
00:08:50
Lee finished work they went to Hindu Lee's house where Brady cleaned the car again just in case he missed something
00:08:56
afterwards he prepared a dark room in the house where he could develop his own pitches he developed the picture he had
00:09:02
taken of Keith and showed it to Hindley he told her he was going to destroy it because it was out of focus
00:09:09
Brady then went to the Manchester Central Railway Station to the suitcases he had left in the luggage storage
00:09:15
containing what he referred to as incriminating material Hindley said she never knew what was inside the suitcases
00:09:23
and could only assume she never attempted to open them because Bradley placed here over the locks a trick he
00:09:30
had read in a James Bond novel which worked as a warning that someone had opened it under the headline tracker
00:09:36
dogs join hunt for lost boy the Manchester Evening News described alongside the inner city area of
00:09:42
Manchester where Keith disappeared from as a dangerous area with several murders
00:09:47
and missing persons cases occurring there police focus their search around alongside and again went door to door
00:09:53
used search docks and did everything they could to locate case they paid particular attention to railway
00:10:00
buildings and tracks as Keith loved to trains like the other cases rumors started spreading and false sighting
00:10:07
reports were made to children said they had seen Keith the outside Longsight library the morning after he disappeared
00:10:14
other said Keith had run away the Keith's parents were adamant he hadn't just like Pauline and John there was no
00:10:22
reason for Keith to run away although police weren't making the link publicly Winnie had no doubt keeps disappearance
00:10:29
was linked to John kill bride's disappearance and she went to visit Sheila John's mother the media was
00:10:35
waiting and a picture of this meeting appeared under the headline missing boys and their two mothers who wait after
00:10:43
their first meeting Winnie and Sheila continued to meet up with each other occasionally when he also met Joan Reid
00:10:49
Pauline's mother when he went into labor prematurely and gave birth to a healthy
00:10:54
son Keith's grandmother constantly blamed herself for not saying anything sooner
00:10:59
about Keith never arriving at a house Keefe sisters kept asking where keith was and cried themselves to sleep case
00:11:07
stepfather Jimmy was targeted by police just like John's father was they inspected the house tore up floorboards
00:11:14
and checked everywhere for signs of foul play Jimmy was taken in for questioning
00:11:18
repeatedly Jimmy said he understood and wanted to cooperate however after a while it became too much and started to
00:11:26
put a heavy burden on his marriage when he confronted the police telling them quote do you think could have stayed
00:11:33
with my husband if I thought he had anything to do with Keith you're splitting my family up and if that
00:11:38
happens you'll have my death and the death of four kitties on your conscience because I'll kill myself and take them
00:11:44
with me the police did back off but soon after this when you were stopped in the street
00:11:50
by a woman who said your case mom aren't you do you know what happened to him he's been chopped up and fed to the pigs
00:11:58
those words haunted Winnie for a long time and it wasn't long before she started to lose all hope along with
00:12:05
their house-to-house inquiries police dragged a nearby Brook but came up empty on July 3rd 1964
00:12:13
Winnie was quoted in the Gorton and Openshaw reporter she said I'm very worried you know for the longer it is
00:12:20
off here there's less chance of him being found one week later the same newspaper ran an article about Pauline
00:12:26
read on the front page the headline read one year ago girl went dancing and disappeared newspapers ran a new appeal
00:12:35
for information about Pauline together with a TV broadcast by police while still giving coverage to the
00:12:40
disappearance of Keith Bennett but no useful information was gained another quote from Winnie my senses told me he
00:12:49
was dead but I just couldn't believe it and then one night when my new baby was about three months old I was feeding him
00:12:55
and half falling asleep while I was doing it and in my dreams estate I heard Keith call to me as clearly as anything
00:13:02
mum he shouted and then I knew for certain he was dead on Saturday the 15th of August 1964 two months after Keith's
00:13:14
murder Maureen Hindley Mira's sister married David Smith David Smith was born in
00:13:21
Manchester on the 9th of January 1948 his mother Joyce hull was in her late teens when she fell pregnant to John

00:13:35
his grandparents Annie and John Smith senior as a little boy David was spoiled rotten by Annie his grandfather John
00:13:43
Cena gambled a lot his father John saw very little of him he travelled for work constantly and when he was home he did
00:13:50
try and spend quality time with David but never got it quite right into their relationship was a strained one David
00:13:57
attended Ross Place primary he spent most of his time with Annie who he called mum Annie told David she was a
00:14:04
nurse at Manchester Royal Infirmary but when he went to surprise visitor there one day he found out she was a cleaner
00:14:10
annie was ashamed but David didn't care he was still Annie he's a mum David the lovely be with his
00:14:19
grandparents but at the age of 8 David's father appeared in the middle of the night and took David to live with him in
00:14:26
Gorton while living with his father David was abused his abuser was the nephew of
00:14:32
another tenant who rented the house with David's father after that David started
00:14:37
rebelling he ended up in Magistrates Court facing a charge of assault and wounding after stabbing another boy he
00:14:44
was given probation that same year he started a Stanley Grove Secondary School where he entered the boxing club the
00:14:52
headmaster saw great potential in David's boxing ability he won several matches but after a wall wanted to quit
00:14:58
the headmaster tried to talk him out of quitting and during the conversation he talked negatively about David's father
00:15:04
David stood up for his dad and punched the headmaster straight in the nose it was expelled he then attended All
00:15:12
Saints school but that didn't last long either a fellow student called David a bastard
00:15:16
David responded by picking up a cricket bat and breaking the boy's fingers David's probation officer found out
00:15:24
about this incident and once again he was summoned to the Magistrates Court this time they sent him to Rose Hill
00:15:31
remand home he only stayed there for a short time but when he got out no school wanted to have him he finally
00:15:38
got accepted at st. change in Gorton he was 13 years old and he soon met a girl who had seen often around the streets of
00:15:45
Gordon Marine Hindley Maureen was two years older than David and of their relationship as a casual one at first
00:15:54
David remembers one time during the early part of their relationship Maureen said he had to come to her house to
00:16:00
intervene in a fight her sister Maura was having with their dad Bob David agreed to help but when he got there he
00:16:07
saw Mara hitting Bob fiercely she didn't need his help in 1963 and he died from cancer she's been battling it
00:16:16
for six months David was 15 he was actually on his way to visit her when someone stopped him in
00:16:22
the street and said do you know your mom is dead David ran to her house and saw that it was true David hid in an alley
00:16:31
and started crying Maureen found him and consoled him he realized at that moment that Maureen was
00:16:38
now the only person in the world he cared about David never went to Annie's funeral because it was too much for him
00:16:45
that summer David abandoned school when joined a local gang the Taylor Street gang they liked to break into people's
00:16:52
houses on July 8th 1963 David appeared before the magistrate's court again charged with breaking into and stealing
00:17:01
from both homes and local stores he was put on probation for a period of three years he was the talk of Gordon but the
00:17:09
talk about David lasted less than a week because four days after his court appearance Pauline Reade disappeared
00:17:16
david knew Pauline he met her when he first moved to Gorton when he was 8 years old
00:17:22
Pauline saw David sitting alone on the sidewalk one day and started talking to him a few years later they shared a
00:17:28
brief kiss David always thought the world of Pauline he considered her sweet and innocent and like many others he
00:17:36
couldn't understand how she vanished he only lived a few doors away from Pauline
00:17:40
so he was interviewed twice by police but he wasn't much help he didn't know anything after leaving school David
00:17:48
became an apprentice electrician that only lasted six or seven months before he left and became a labourer but that
00:17:55
didn't last long neither in March 1964 Maureen told him she was pregnant David said he would be there for her and they
00:18:03
decided to get married since in those days having a child outside of marriage was frowned upon
00:18:08
Maureen moved in with David and his father and on the 15th of August 1964 they tied the knot at All Saints
00:18:15
registry office in Manchester the only people in attendance were David's father uncle aunt and cousin
00:18:22
none of Maureen's relatives approved of the marriage not even Mara who she was so close to Mara didn't like David and
00:18:30
told Maureen her marriage to him was a mistake afterwards David and Maureen celebrated
00:18:35
as several pups there was no reception or honeymoon since they are very scarce on money Maureen was 18 years old and 7
00:18:43
months pregnant at the time David was 16 after they finished celebrating at the pubs that night
00:18:51
Maureen and David made their way home it wasn't long before those are knock at the door it was Myra Hindley who said
00:18:57
Ian would like a drink with you they were surprised that the invitation since they didn't attend the wedding and
00:19:03
Hindley was very much against their marriage and David from the beginning while David was dating Maureen in delete
00:19:10
old him I've tried to explain what an [ __ ] you are but for some reason she still wants to be with you so I'm
00:19:16
telling you now if you ever ever hurt her in any way you're a dead man do you get me a dead man this thing
00:19:24
between you will be tolerated but you better mind your back because every step of the way I'll be watching you David
00:19:29
Smith right every [ __ ] step you take Maureen and David agreed to the invitation they made their way to
00:19:38
Hindley's house and they were surprised things seemed different Hindley and Brady were both friendly
00:19:43
towards them David had only officially met Brady once before a few months earlier it was very brief and they
00:19:50
didn't really speak now at Hindley's house they were welcomed with a bottle of wine Brady had reserved to share with
00:19:56
them along with whisky the ambience was relaxed and David summarized the night with the following
00:20:01
words everybody was dressed up but no one was going anywhere it was civilized and two that impressed
00:20:08
me Hindery and maureen danced in the living room while they would join them occasionally and Brady made sure
00:20:14
everyone's classes stateful at one point during the night Brady said to David I believe you've got a record the next day
00:20:23
in Dooley appeared at David and Marines thoughts they began she invited them out
00:20:27
for a day at the lake they stopped there several pubs on the way there and on the
00:20:31
way back and about David and Brady got very drunk on the way home Brady rambled to David about capitalism
00:20:38
and the nonsense in working for a living David listened more than anything he was impressed that
00:20:43
Brady's generosity of that day ended the previous night and was thankful for the
00:20:48
wedding present this trip had represented at 1:00 a.m. they arrived at Hindley's house and continued drinking
00:20:54
until daylight from then on the four of them started getting together regularly Saturdays became fish-and-chip nights
00:21:01
and when I started getting late Hindley and Maureen would go upstairs to sleep leaving Brady and David alone in the
00:21:07
living room David started closely observing Hindley and Brady and at their relationship the first thing he noticed
00:21:14
was how much they loved animals especially dogs he also noticed how Brady didn't have any sort of fondness
00:21:21
towards anyone not even really Hindley your David thought he just seemed to accept he once saw Brady put an armory
00:21:28
on Tindall II when he was drunk but that was the only time he saw any public affection from him as for Hindley David
00:21:35
believed she cared for Brady very much he also knew how much Hindle he cared for Maureen and how close they were
00:21:41
but one person Hindley never cared for was David during their regular get-togethers she would be civil towards
00:21:48
him and even friendly at Toms but she was growing very jealous of the forming friendship between him and Brady
00:21:55
in September 1964 many gorton residents were relocated including Hindley and Graham who she still lived with they
00:22:03
moved to 16 waddle Brook Avenue in Hattersley 19 kilometers east of the city Brady
00:22:10
stayed over often and he placed a lock on him police door Hindley was happy about the move and decorated the house
00:22:17
buying various items to do it up between them Brady and Hindley earned 24 pounds
00:22:23
a week with that they paid for rent fuel for the car and motorcycle new furniture
00:22:28
and other items for the house and they were always going away for troops for the countryside or to Scotland they also
00:22:35
purchased the great deal of alcohol how they managed to fund all of it is unknown but they were living a more
00:22:40
upscale life than most in the area when Hindley went shopping she'd speak in a posh accent when she walked through the
00:22:48
streets of Hattersley she'd be selective about what people she spoke to one neighbor in waddle Brook Avenue Hindley
00:22:55
and Brady made friends with was paddy Masterton an 11 year old girl she stopped by at Henry's house looking for
00:23:01
her mum since the two houses were almost next to each other Hindley hadn't seen her mum but she
00:23:07
invited paddy inside paddy immediately took to puppet Hindley's dog and to Lassie Gran's dog in glee asked if she'd
00:23:15
like to go with her to get Brady paddy agreed when they got to Brady's house they had to wait outside
00:23:22
Brady made Hindley wait hour Swiper him since the start of their relationship he'd never introduced her to his mother
00:23:29
or stepfather when Brady got in the car Hindley introduced him to Paddy and to the three of them quickly became friends
00:23:36
paddy would often go to Hindley's house to watch television since she didn't have one at home
00:23:41
paddy wasn't the only child Brady and Hindley were friendly with either they were kind to several children in the
00:23:48
neighbourhood and Brady also got along well with his foster nephews he would visit them and hide money in their rooms
00:23:53
its presence they even took some of the kids in the neighbourhood to the Moors the one they took the most though was
00:24:00
paddy once when they were walking through the mall Brady told her if you're thirsty have a drink from that
00:24:06
Brook it's nice pure water the brook was next to John kill bride's burial so Elsie
00:24:15
Masterton Paddy's mother said this about Hindley she was the type I could have imagined forging anything but never to
00:24:22
do any harm to children because I thought a person who loved animals as much as she did would be incapable of
00:24:28
that and she made such a fuss of children neither Hindu Lee nor Brady ever explained to the forming of
00:24:35
friendships with some children while taking the lives of other children but Brady stated that sometimes adults like
00:24:41
to become friends with the young to escape the serious adult world in October 1964
00:24:48
Maureen gave birth to a daughter Angela dawn David proved to be a great father making a fuss of her every chance he got
00:24:56
that same month in Manchester's juvenile court David was put on a good behavior bond
00:25:01
for 12 months and fined six pounds for two cases of common assault but he was also able to find steady work to support
00:25:08
his family it was a time David looked back on as being happy Brady and Hindley didn't seem interested in Angela dawn at
00:25:16
all Hindley never held or paid any attention to her and Brady seemed uncomfortable around him one Friday
00:25:23
night Brady and Hindley visited David and Maureen at their home in Gorton Brady and David were outside getting
00:25:29
some fresh air after having drinks together while they were outside David saw Joan
00:25:34
and Amos read Pauline's parents they still only lived a few doors from him David wished them
00:25:41
good night and Joan said the same to him after Joan and Amos walked inside Brady said then the parents of that
00:25:48
missing girl David nodded Brady said so what's the story behind that what do you
00:25:55
think happened there they've been told him the rumors he'd heard that she had run off with a fairground worker or gone
00:26:01
to Australia Brady got very interested when David mentioned the police had asked him questions about her he wanted
00:26:08
to know exactly what they asked him they've been finished by telling Brady he didn't believe the rumors about
00:26:14
Pauline because she wasn't the type to run away he said to Brady she was quiet nice
00:26:20
not that sort of girl at all November 23rd 1964 was the one-year anniversary of John Kerr bride's disappearance and
00:26:29
Detective Chief Inspector Joseph Nancy renewed the investigation means he was promoted to Detective Chief
00:26:37
Inspector in Ashton underlined earlier that year he immediately started checking the backlog of unsolved cases
00:26:43
to see if there was anything worth looking into again he came upon John's case and called Sheila John's mother it
00:26:50
wasn't long before he agreed with her something awful had happened to John and Patrick her husband had nothing to do
00:26:57
with it Nancy started a campaign to see if you could uncover any new leads he reprinted the posters with John's
00:27:04
face made appeals on television and in newspapers asking for anyone with information to come forward
00:27:09
he also organized the reconstruction of John's disappearance of the market John was played by Danny his brother as they
00:27:17
looked a lot alike however no one came forward with new information means he was so determined to find John
00:27:24
that John became known as mounds he's led to the other offices at Ashton underlying police station on Christmas
00:27:33

00:28:31
after lunch and told Brady that she had arranged the pit gran up at 9:30 p.m. that afternoon while at a store they saw
00:28:38
posters advertising Silcox wonder fair which is exactly where they were headed but first they went grocery shopping and
00:28:46
filled up a couple of cardboard boxes then they drove to Hume Hall Lane near Manchester City Center and parked the
00:28:53
car in an empty side street they took the cardboard boxes overloaded with groceries with them they walked through
00:29:00
the fair until they saw a girl by herself staring at the bumper cars she seemed enthralled by them Brady and
00:29:08
Hindley stood behind her for several minutes at a distance to make sure she was alone
00:29:12
when no one came for her they made their approach the girl was ten year old Leslie and Donny Leslie lived in a new
00:29:23

00:30:07
oldest brother Terry who was 14 and she had a crush on one of the being members who played that evening
00:30:12
Terry noticed and asked for a lock of the boys hair which Leslie kept safe inside a box in her room Leslie had a
00:30:20
close group of friends at school and was very fond of animals especially her dog
00:30:24
rebel on Christmas morning Leslie had gotten a nurse's costume a doll several board games and her favorite a small
00:30:33
electric sewing machine at Trinity Methodist Church children were offered the chance to have their presents
00:30:39
blessed and after breakfast Leslie took the sewing machine with it that Boxing Day morning when Leslie woke up she
00:30:47
found a new pair of presence on top of a dressing table a necklace of white beads
00:30:51
and a matching bracelet they were from her brother Terry who had visited Silcox wonder fair and had won them for her at
00:30:57
the shooting gallery the fair was less than one kilometer from their home Leslie put the necklace and bracelet on
00:31:05
straight away then she spent the morning playing with her new toys her mother in
00:31:10

00:31:17
p.m. Leslie put on a coat and left the flat with her younger brother Tommy who was 8 they'd arranged to go to Silcox
00:31:24
wonder fair with mrs. Clark who lived downstairs Leslie was good friends with mrs.
00:31:29
Clark's daughter's in particular Linda Clark but when Leslie and Tommy knocked on the door mrs. Clark said she was too
00:31:36
tired to go so instead all of the children went on their own but they had to be back home by 5:00 p.m.
00:31:43
and 4:00 p.m. all of the children had run out of money plus as I was supposed to be back home anyway
00:31:49
they left the fair and started walking home but on the way Leslie stopped and said I'm going back
00:31:56
she turned around and ran back to the fair before any of the other children could say anything at 6:00 p.m. a boy
00:32:03
who went to school with the Leslie saw her at the bumper cars he didn't notice pretium Hindley who were at a distance
00:32:09
watching her waiting a few minutes after 6:00 Brady and Hindley approached to Leslie
00:32:16
they were still carrying the cardboard boxes filled with groceries and deliberately spilled a few items next to
00:32:22
Leslie Lesley turned around and looked at them Hindley gave her a smile and asked Leslie if she wouldn't mind
00:32:29
helping them carry the boxes back to their car Hindley promised the reward for helping
00:32:34
and Leslie agreed when they got to the car Hindley asked Leslie if she would mind helping them take the boxes home
00:32:42
Leslie agreed and got into the front passenger seat Hindley and brady carefully put the boxes around to Leslie
00:32:49
so she was blocked from view then they drove to English house in Hattersley when they walked inside the house at 16
00:32:57
WaterBrook Avenue in Dooley Todd Leslie to take the boxes upstairs Brady was already up there waiting in Hindley's
00:33:04
room Brady turned on the tape recorder - lots of footsteps were heard entering the room Leslie and Hindley they tried
00:33:14
to get Leslie to put a handkerchief in her mouth to gag her Leslie asked to go home she told them she didn't want to
00:33:21
get undressed they'll put the handkerchief in her mouth Brady said they just wanted to take some
00:33:25
photographs and as soon as she did as she was told as soon as she could go home Leslie knew something awful was
00:33:32
happening and kept refusing the gag Hindley can be heard on the tape same shut up or I'll forget myself and hit
00:33:40
you one keep it in brady is heard saying put it in if you don't keep that hand down I'll slit your throat put it in the
00:33:50
recording ended with little drummer boy playing in the background and three layout cracks the cracks were from brady
00:33:58
opening up the tripod and setting up his camera the tape recording was stopped because there was only one socket in the
00:34:04
room and brady needed it for the photography light when they were done in Dooley ran a bath for Leslie at Brady's
00:34:11
request he wanted to remove any dog hairs or other fibers Brady carried Leslie to the bathroom she had been
00:34:18
strangled with a piece of cord Hindley claims Leslie was killed by Brady while she was running the bath
00:34:25
Brady's account is different in his version he says Hindley is the one who killed Leslie using the piece of cord to
00:34:32
strangle her he said Hindley then kept the court and pulled it out and played with it in public
00:34:36
enjoying the secret knowledge of what it had been useful after washing Leslie's body
00:34:43
Brady wrapped her in the blood-stained bedsheet and carried her to the car there was 8 p.m. p.m. Hindley headed for
00:34:50
the mall but the weather had turned it was snowing heavily and they noticed cars sliding on the road they decided to
00:34:57
turn around and drive back to Hattersley they still had to pick up grant - Brady
00:35:03
couldn't believe Hindley wanted to pick her up while they still had Leslie's body in the car
00:35:07
so Hindley came up with another idea she knocked on her uncle's door and told him
00:35:12
she couldn't take grant home because the roads were too bad her uncle wasn't happy but Hindley left without grant she
00:35:20
drove back home and Brady carried those loose body into the house and put it back onto Hindley's bed he set up his
00:35:27
darkroom and developed the photographs they listened to the tape together or they looked at the photos Hindley begged
00:35:34
Brady to destroy a door once he was done they finished the night caught up together in the sofa bed in front of the
00:35:41
fire Hindley stated quote that Christmas became the anniversary of many bad memories not least of all the killing of
00:35:49
little Lesley Ann which gives me the deepest shame meanwhile Leslie's family was becoming desperate
00:35:58
when Leslie turned around and went back to the fair alone her brother Tommy continued on home secretly he was hoping
00:36:05
Leslie changed her mind or was playing a joke and should be back there waving phim but she wasn't their mother in
00:36:14
asked tell me what happened when he told her and her partner Alan immediately went to the fair to look for Leslie they
00:36:21
started running back and forth between the fair and the flat looking for her everywhere shouting her name they
00:36:27
searched for hours they stopped in at the Clarks flat where hands screamed at mrs. Clark for not going with the
00:36:34
children they then went to Mill Street police station to report her disappearance early the next morning
00:36:41
Brady carried Leslie's body back to the car he and Hindley drove to Saddleworth Moor
00:36:46
Brady got out and cautiously looked around checking to make sure no one else was present he then walked off with
00:36:53
Leslie's body they drove home to Hindley's and Brady watched the Spade before making breakfast they then went
00:37:01
and picked up Grant that evening the local news was reporting Leslie's disappearance and detectives who are
00:37:08
searching the fair interviewing every single visitor and fairground worker they also checked empty houses abandoned
00:37:14
factories and farms in the area two days after the murder the Manchester Evening
00:37:19
News ran an all-too-familiar headline tracker dogs joined giant search for girl Mill Woods opened back up for
00:37:27

00:37:34

00:37:43
Leslie's photo had been printed in 5000 fliers were handed out in pubs cafes and
00:37:48
shops Leslie's family helped distribute the posters and flyers New Year's Eve is
00:37:54
spent very differently for Brady and Hindley they partied with David Maureen and Hindley's parents Bob and Nellie
00:38:00
Brady supplied the alcohol and seemed especially happy he went as far as kissing Maureen on the cheek to wish her
00:38:07
good luck in the new year and he even stroked baby Angela Dawn's hair on New Year's Day 1965 the Gorton
00:38:16
anokhin sure recorder dedicated most of its front page to Leslie with the headline
00:38:20
have you seen 10 year-old Leslie big search for lost girl Pauline read John killbride and Keith Bennett were also
00:38:29
mentioned in the same article Hindley bought the newspaper and later that morning their 11 year old neighbor
00:38:35
Patty visited them Hindley handed the newspaper to Patty and asked her if she'd like to read it
00:38:40
patty saw the headline and mentioned that Leslie lived near a friend of hers Hindley asked her about Leslie and Brady
00:38:47
had his tape recorder on during the conversation he and Hindley kept the tape one more of their souvenirs through
00:38:57
the first weeks of January 1965 an intense search continued police officers went to schools and warned children of
00:39:04
our stranger danger like the fathers and stepfathers in the other cases Allen West was interviewed several times their
00:39:12
flat was turned upside down but he was eventually ruled out as a suspect n kept in Leslie's room exactly like a
00:39:19
daughter had left it she also went to the police station at least twice a week to see if there was any sort of
00:39:25
breakthrough she told the press quote it's a nightmare I can't sleep or eat if I
00:39:32
close my eyes I can see her orbit I'm in the third week of January 1965 Ann made
00:39:39
a new appeal through the Gorton and open Shore reporter stating to whoever is holding my Leslie if only they knew the
00:39:47
agony that myself and my family are going through her little brothers keep asking when she's coming home I plead
00:39:53
with all the mothers never to let their children out of their sight because they
00:39:57
do not know the heartbreak of losing them until that happens Terry Leslie's older brother added whoever is holding
00:40:05
out Leslie please look after her because she will be very sad and ill being away
00:40:09
from mum former Prime Minister of England Winston Churchill died on the 24th of January 1965 Brady hated him for
00:40:20
helping putting an end to the Third Reich he bought a bottle of a dream viewing to celebrate with
00:40:25
and David Hindley fully agreed with Brady stating the best thing Churchill did for Britain was dying Maureen and
00:40:33
David didn't exactly agree but they still celebrated with them David found Brady's intellect impressive but he
00:40:41
still teased him for being what he called a real square when it came to musical tastes Hindu Lee was getting
00:40:47
increasingly jealous of David and how he could make Brady laugh and relax in ways
00:40:51
she couldn't in February 1965 Maureen mentioned that in less of his mother had offered the reward of 100 pence to
00:41:00
anyone who could provide useful information about Leslie Maureen ended with the line her mother must think a
00:41:07
lot of the child Hindu it cracked up laughing during the investigation into Leslie and Downey's disappearance police
00:41:15
would eventually interview 6,000 people and false sightings of Leslie came in from everywhere from Blackpool to
00:41:22
Belgium in April 65 Hindley sold her car and bought a MINI Countryman which had the same features a previous car folding
00:41:30
back seats that gave you ample space in the rear that month Hindley and Brady travelled the Scotland again they
00:41:38
invited Pattie with them but Paddy's mother said no when they returned from Scotland
00:41:43
Brady moved into Hindley's place at 16 waddle Brook Avenue had as Lee permanently a few weeks later he saw
00:41:50
paddy climbing over a wall at the side of the house he accused her of trying to get into their garden and told her that
00:41:56
if he ever caught her again he'd break her back paddy never spoke to Brady or Hindley
00:42:01
again after that on April 25th 1965 Angela Dawn Maureen and David's daughter died of bronchitis she was six months
00:42:13
old David was working when he was told to go to hospital because Maureen was there he
00:42:20
didn't think it could be anything serious when he got there he was ushered into a room and told his daughter had
00:42:25
died David couldn't understand it since he had been playing with her that morning Angela dawn was laughing and
00:42:33
seemed happy and healthy David was left alone in the hospital room and he ended up destroying it he
00:42:39
then went home packed a suitcase full of his daughter's clothes and belongings and threw it down a railway in Bateman
00:42:46
Maureen David and Hindley's mother Nellie went to tell Brady and him to leave the news
00:42:52
they were watching TV at the time Brady's reaction was complete annoyance at having his viewing interrupted so
00:42:59
Hindley walked them all out of the house so Brady could continue watching TV in peace Maureen and David knew they
00:43:07
couldn't stay in the house where they raised Angela gone David went to his grandfather's house in Hardwick where he
00:43:13
spent part of his early childhood and Maureen moved back to Nellie's house in Gordon Hindoo Liam Brady attended the
00:43:20
funeral which was held with an open casket when Hindley saw Angela dawn tears spilled from her eyes she
00:43:27
immediately cleaned them up and asked Maureen and David not to tell Brady David couldn't understand why Hinda Lee
00:43:33
crying at her nieces funeral would be a problem for Brady he left the two sisters alone and walked
00:43:38
outside for a cigarette Brady was outside sitting in the car David was even more confused when Brady
00:43:45
completely ignored him two days after the funeral though Brady in Hindu he picked up David and Maureen and took
00:43:52
them to the mall where they spent the day drinking when it got dark Brady asked David to go for a walk with him
00:43:59
while they were gone Hindley told Maureen to stop crying about losing Angela dawn and to buy yourself a dog
00:44:06
Brady took David for a walk and after a while told him to stop and stare up at the moon David did so and they remained
00:44:14
at that spot for about ten minutes Brady then broke the silence and said they should get back to the car the spot
00:44:21
our steaming was where John Kilbride was buried Brady and Hindley continued taking David and Maureen out often
00:44:29
including more trips to Saddleworth Moor Maureen and David were thankful for those outings to help distract them from
00:44:35
losing Angela dawn although they often wondered why Brady got so angry if other people were at Saddleworth Moor or why
00:44:42
he always had to find specific spots every time they went on July 23rd 1965 in delete' earned 23 and Maureen and
00:44:53
David moved into a new council flat in Hadley only a few hundred meters away from Hindley Brady and grand David and
00:45:01
Brady became even closer Brady started giving David books to read the same ones had shared with Hindley except with
00:45:08
David that worked differently David would read the books and write notes about them either quoting them or making
00:45:14
his own assertions from the philosophy shed in each one he would then share his notes and thoughts with Brady
00:45:21
David was only 17 years old and he looked up to Brady he saw him as older far more intellectual and someone who
00:45:28
could teach him David said that before the death of Angela thorne Brady's rents never got to him he was forever going on
00:45:36
about Hitler the Nazi Party politics and society in general David listened to him talk but he never
00:45:43
took any of it in but after the death of Angela Dawn he had up every word of what
00:45:48
Brady said Dave Envisat and Brady almost every day at 16 waddle Brook Avenue sometimes Hindu Lee would refuse to let
00:45:57
him in telling him Brady was busy other times she would make him wait across the
00:46:01
road until Brady was available when she flicked the lights on and off that was the sign that David could go in
00:46:09
in August 65 Brady asked David if he would like to rob a bank it wasn't the first time Brady had made this proposal
00:46:16
but it was the first time David listened previously David had ignored Brady and changed the subject but now he needed
00:46:24
money so they made a plan to rob the Williams and Glen's Bank located on Ashton old road 14 kilometers away from
00:46:32
Hadley Hindley would be the driver and Brady and David would take care of the rest
00:46:37
David's assignment was to take notes of arrivals and departures from the bank paying particular attention to when the
00:46:43
cash van arrived David spent an entire day outside the bank taking notes when he gave them to Brady he barely glanced
00:46:51
to them he then put them aside like they weren't important that was as far as their bank robbery got one night soon
00:47:00
after they were having a drink together and during the session Brady pointed a gun at David he said this is how easy it
00:47:06
is to kill look at me then look at the gun look at the [ __ ] gun David was petrified and looked at the
00:47:14
gun Brady continued talking looking to the hole of the gunman you're not going to see it coming blink and you won't
00:47:22
even know I've shot you look at the [ __ ] gun you're about to die a second later Brady pulled the trigger but it
00:47:30
wasn't loaded Brady said that's how easy it is Dave you just have to press the [ __ ] trigger at the end of August
00:47:39
Maggie and Patrick Brady's mother and stepfather moved from their house in Westmoreland Street and on September
00:47:46
18th Brady and Hindley travelled back to Scotland in Glasgow he would walk through the streets and photographed
00:47:52
strangers for no apparent reason at one point they crossed the child walking alone in kyndley looked at him and asked
00:48:00
don't you want to do another one Brady replied he'd never killed one of his own Hindley was worried she thought
00:48:09
Brady had been acting strangely revealing too much to David slowly letting him into their inner sanctum on
00:48:15
October 2nd 1965 during another drinking session Brady said to David what's wrong with killing somebody if
00:48:23
you're prepared to accept responsibility for your actions he continued that the victim's family had a right to kill you
00:48:30
afterwards if they wanted because that was only fair he told David that God doesn't exist because if he did he
00:48:37
wouldn't have let Angela dawn daughter he then said listen to me I've killed I've done it I know what
00:48:45
it's like Brady could see David didn't believe him and said do you think I'm lying don't you do you think I'm a lying
00:48:54
[ __ ] but it's been done I've killed more than once but you don't believe me maggots they're all [ __ ] maggots
00:49:05
David raised these eyebrows and Brady tried again to convince him I've got photographic proof and you've
00:49:11
sat on one of the graves Brady started rambling that the right way to do it was to choose people over the age of 16
00:49:18
because police didn't give as much importance to them and if possible try and choose victims who were Jewish or
00:49:24
gay Brady specifically mentioned targeting Manchester central railway station along
00:49:30
with gay bars to find victims he also told David you should place a plastic sheet in the car take notes of
00:49:37
everything and kill the person in a place where you have full control Brady finished with the words it will be done
00:49:44
again David didn't believe a word of what he said on Wednesday October 6 1965 ten months after the murder of Leslie
00:49:55
and Danny Brady gave Hindley a new record it's all over now baby blue by joan baez
00:50:04
they went to work finishing at 5:00 p.m. when they got home Brady walked the dogs and then they got
00:50:10
ready to go out they left home at 8:00 p.m. Hindley drove them in Chester Central
00:50:16
Railway Station and let Brady out she stayed with the car but didn't pay for parking a police officer knocked on her
00:50:23
window Hindley explained that she was waiting for her boyfriend who was inside at the
00:50:27
bar and she'd be leaving soon the officer gave her a warning and said that if she wasn't gone by the time he came
00:50:33
back he at the station Brady went to the bar he tried to open the door a few times until
00:50:40
a teenage boy approached him and told him it was closed the boy was 17 year old Edward Evans
00:50:48
Edward lived at 55 Addison Street in Hardwick which was due for demolition the following year he lived with his
00:50:54
mother Edith his father John and a brother and sister since May that year he'd been working as a junior machine
00:51:01
operator he worked hard and after work he liked to go to bars with friends he was tall slim and had a light brown hair
00:51:09
a friend of Edwards described him as sociable with a smart sense of dress Edward was also very keen on football
00:51:17
and was an avid fan of Manchester United going to watch them often at Old Trafford the team's home stadium Edwards
00:51:24
parents often worried about him as he went out most nights but he reassured them I can handle any trouble Edward was
00:51:32
at work during the day of Wednesday October 6th when he finished his shift he went home and told his parents who'd
00:51:38
be going to a pub in town with a friend he had dinner then went to his room and changed into a white shirt jeans brown
00:51:46
suede shoes and his favourite jacket before leaving home at 6:15 p.m. Edward went to auntie's bar on Oxford Road his
00:51:54
friend had never turned up so he had a drink and then left he headed over this Central Station two kilometers away he
00:52:02
tried getting into the bar there but found out it was closed he hung around outside for a little while and that's
00:52:08
when he saw Brady trying the door after Edward told Brady of the bar was closed they got chatting Edward said there was
00:52:15
nowhere else to go to get a drink so Brady invited him back to his place in Hattersley
00:52:20
Edward accepted his invitation Bradley walked Edward back to the car and introduced him to Hindley he called him
00:52:28
Eddie he told Eddie Hindley was his sister Hindley then drove them back to 16 waddle Brook Avenue when they got inside
00:52:38
Brady told Hindley to go get David to join them for a drink at 11:15 p.m. the buzzer went off at Maureen and David's
00:52:45
flat they were both in bed and Maureen got up to answer Maureen let Hindley in and David got out of bed as well
00:52:53
indle he said she can to give Maureen a message to tell their mother Nelly she'd
00:52:58
see her on the weekend not before because she didn't have time Maureen was totally confused and asked why the [ __ ]
00:53:05
she had gotten him out of bed to tell them that Hindley said she just wanted to make
00:53:09
sure she passed the message on before she forgot she then asked David to walk her home since it was so dark and late
00:53:16
David agreed and took his stick with him that had string tied around the end when
00:53:23
they got to 16 waddle Brook Avenue Hindu Lee told David to stay on the other side
00:53:26
of the road and wait for the lights inside the flick twice before going into the house David agreed and waited a
00:53:34
moment later the light flick twice and David went to the front door Brady answered and asked in an unusually
00:53:41
loud voice do you want those miniatures David was confused but nodded his head Brady led him inside and walked him to
00:53:51
the kitchen which was directly opposite the front door Brady gave him three miniature bottles of one and asked do
00:53:59
you want the rest David again nodded not exactly sure what was going on Brady then disappeared from the kitchen
00:54:07
and David waited two minutes later David heard a scream seconds later there was another screen then another before he
00:54:17
heard Hindley yell Dave helped him David ran to the living room where the screams were coming from the screams he
00:54:24
heard came from Edward Evans who had his legs sprawled out on the floor and his back against the sofa bed looking up
00:54:29
Brady was standing over him hitting him with an axe over and over again while screaming at him
00:54:36
[ __ ] [ __ ] dirty bastard Edward tried to crawl to a nearby table to hide underneath but Brady grabbed his legs
00:54:43
and dragged him back out he kept hitting him with the ax during the attack that dogs walked in the living room and Brady
00:54:50
screamed at Hindley get the [ __ ] dogs away from the blood Brady then knelt down and strangled Edward when he was
00:54:58
done Brady stood up looked at his hands covered in blood a little bit Hindley and said that's it the messiest one yet
00:55:07
David couldn't move it was paralyzed with fear until Brady suddenly walked over and handed him the ax he said feel
00:55:16
the [ __ ] weight of that how did he take it David grabbed the ax and smiled replying
00:55:22
[ __ ] me I don't know Brady smiled back at David before a new scream interrupted
00:55:29
them it was grand he'd been sleeping upstairs in her room she wanted to know what all the noise was a beer he knew he
00:55:37
called out that she dropped something on it foot then she noticed that Brady's ankle was actually badly hurt she asked
00:55:43
if he was alright Brady said he was fine and he must have accidentally hit himself with the ax at some point he
00:55:50
told Hindley to bring in the cleaning stuff while he knew he was gone he told David there was a hole in the wall by
00:55:55
the fireplace that had been left by the axe after it hit Edwards head he asked David the Galant feelin a moment later
00:56:03
Brady knelt down on top of Edward again and went through his clothes while he was doing so David watched and noticed
00:56:10
that Edwards pants were open and unzipped Bridey found a wallet opened it and started reading aloud to David Edward
00:56:18
Evans apprentice at associated electrical industries limited traffic park the [ __ ] his name was Edward Evans
00:56:26
Eddie do you know him dave is the same age as you in his romantic as well do you know David said he didn't Hindu Lee
00:56:37
returned with a plastic sheet and a blanket the three of them first listened for any commotion outside from
00:56:43
neighbours in case they had heard Edward screams when they didn't hear anything they covered Edwards body in total
00:56:49
Edward had received 14 blows from the axe brady said he wanted the tie up edward but didn't have any rope david
00:56:58
offered him the string that was attached to his stick brady grabbed it and got david that helped him tie him up brady
00:57:04
instructed david on what to do they put his legs up against his chest so he was in the fetal position
00:57:10
they then wrapped him in a blanket when they finished they stopped for a cigarette while hindu lee prepared
00:57:17
everything to clean the room brady said to david we'll finish up in here and then get a cup of tea dnsa how
00:57:24
does that sound Brady said they'd have to leave Edwards body in inglese room for the night with
00:57:30
the help of David they half lifted half drag they'd would up the stairs while intially made sure Greene's door stayed
00:57:36
closed well though doing so Brady cracked a joke saying Eddie's a dead weight in glee started
00:57:44
laughing and although he didn't find it funny David thought he better laugh - in
00:57:50
his room they placed Edward beneath the window Brady stared down at his body before
00:57:55
placing some books on top of him the three of them cleaned up the blood from the living room with wet pieces of cloth
00:58:01
David couldn't get past the smell of death that covered the entire place he playfully hit David with one of the wet
00:58:08
blood-soaked cloths at one point Brady started playing with the ax again before putting it away in its carrier back once
00:58:16
they finished they sat together and had a cup of tea just as Brady had said they
00:58:20
would Brady asked Hindley Myra how did he take that what do you think intially answered I don't know love but
00:58:30
you could see the blow register in his eyes Brady asked how they would carry the body to the car since he had hurt
00:58:35
his ankle pretty badly David came up with a solution he said they could put him in Angela Dawn's pram Brady and
00:58:43
Hindley both laughed at the idea but considered it a good one Hindley offered David another cup of tea and he said no
00:58:50
he should get back home before Maureen got suspicious before leaving David said okay then I'll be off but see you both
00:58:58
later on Hindley responded with a smile yes Dave you will they've been left for 16 Waddle Brook Avenue at 3:00 a.m. he
00:59:09
believed the Brady and Hindley might still be watching him so he remained calm and walk casually until he got out
00:59:15
of sight he then sprinted home David had been acting telling Brady and Hindley what they wanted to hear he said the
00:59:24
only reason he helped them clean up that night is because he believed he would be
00:59:27
murdered unless he went along with it he wasn't wrong neither Brady had suggested
00:59:33
killing David only one month earlier Brady said he was tired of David's domestic problems David and Maureen had
00:59:40
been fighting because Maureen was pregnant again David thought it was too soon after Angela Dawn's death Brady saw
00:59:46
David's relationship with Maureen as a flaw in his character and something that would eventually ruin his plans so he
00:59:53
told Hindley they should get rid of him Brady even planned how he would do it take him for a drive and blow his head
00:59:59
off however it was Hindley who talked radio out of it as she didn't want to do that to her sister
01:00:06
when David got back to his flat that morning he ran straight to the bathroom and threw up Maureen heard him and knelt
01:00:13
by side assuming he had drunk too much alcohol but David told her he hadn't been drinking he walked to the living
01:00:21
room and told Maureen to sit down he told her the story he didn't go into the final details but just enough to let her
01:00:28
know he had witnessed the murder Maureen was confused and started asking if her sister was all right David said she's
01:00:37
all right but she's part of it didn't you hear me girl she's part of it Maureen was still
01:00:43
very confused by what she was hearing and began crying David waited a few minutes before telling her that as soon
01:00:49
as it was daylight and there was movement in the street they gone found the police from the nearby phone box
01:00:57
they left their flat just after 6:00 a.m. October 7th 1965 David took a knife in the screwdriver with him for
01:01:05
protection the nearest telephone box was a block away on hair' Hill Road David died
01:01:12
triple nine and the call was logged at 6:07 a.m. when the operator asked why one of the police david answered that it
01:01:20
was an emergency and did explain when they got there the operator agreed to send them david and maureen hid behind a
01:01:27
fence while they waited david called again a few minutes later to make sure they were still coming when the police
01:01:34
car turned up the officer was shocked when david and maureen sprinted towards him and made a friend to get tempt to
01:01:39
open the doors the doors were locked so they couldn't get in the officer eventually come them down and allowed
01:01:46
them into the car he secured the knife and the screwdriver david was carrying before driving them to hide police
01:01:52
station at the station they were given a cup of tea the officer who picked them up asked David what happened David at
01:02:00
first stayed quiet unable to say anything until he was able to get the words out it's murder he started telling
01:02:09
the story to the officer and when he was done the officer asked him if the body was
01:02:13
still there David nodded and said it was upstairs the officer then left the room
01:02:20
the officer made a call to his supervisor the supervisor arranged for Detective Sergeant alex car and
01:02:27
superintendent Robert Talbot to speak to David and Maureen they took a statement
01:02:32
off David and although they had their doubts about his story they went to Hattersley to check it out
01:02:37
Talbot when in one vehicle Detective Sergeant car and officer in Fairley went in another vehicle two other vehicles
01:02:44
were used the block off the street David was taking him one of those they arrived
01:02:49
that 16 Waddle Brook Avenue about 8:00 a.m. a bread delivery van was driving through the street as they arrived and
01:02:57
Telmex stopped the driver to ask him if he could borrow his white coat and a basket of bread the driver agreed
01:03:04
Talbert disguised himself as the bread delivery man and walked to the rear of the house and knocked on the back door
01:03:10
Hindley answered she gave him a strange look since she didn't buy that particular brand of Brett Talbot asked
01:03:18
him Burleigh is your husband in Hinda Lee responded I haven't got a husband Talbot put down the breadbasket took off
01:03:27
the white coat and said I'm a police superintendent and I have reason to believe that there is a man in this
01:03:33
house Hindley denied there was any man inside Taylor said he had reason to believe she
01:03:39
was lying and walked in as soon as he walked in Hindley gave up a story and said he's in the other room
01:03:46
Karan Fairley entered the house through the front doors Talbot walked through the back door they found Brady sitting
01:03:52
on the sofa in the living room writing a letter Hindley had this to say about that moment I'll never forget his face
01:04:00
when I took the police into the living room the morning after the murder of Edward Evans it was expressionless as it
01:04:07
often was but I saw him almost shrink before my eyes hopeless and powerless that was all over
01:04:15
Talbot told Brady they were investigating a report of an act of violence that had occurred in the house
01:04:21
the night before Brady remained silent and stared at them it was Hindley who spoke saying there's nothing wrong here
01:04:30
Talbot said he wanted to inspect the house Hindley didn't object Hindley led Talbot
01:04:37
upstairs they first went into Gran's room brenn wanted to know what the police were there
01:04:42
Hindley said she would bring her a cup of tea later and explain Talbot found nothing out of the ordinary in Gran's
01:04:50
room Hindley then led Talbot into the bathroom where he again found nothing when they got to Hindu Lee's room the
01:04:58
door was locked he knew Lee explained she kept it locked because she's thought firearms in there
01:05:03
and she couldn't open it because the key was in her office at Mill woods they walked back downstairs
01:05:08
Talbot said they couldn't leave until they inspected Hinda Lee's room he asked Brady if he had a key
01:05:14
Brady remains silent Hindley answered for him it's at work tell they told him you need to put a coat on she was going
01:05:23
with them to Mill Woods to get the key he refused talbert ordered Farrelly to escort Hindley to Mill woods but Fairley
01:05:30
had another suggestion just kick the door in Talbot looked at Brady after fairly
01:05:36
suggested this Brady still said nothing fairly said again kicking the door Hindley saw they
01:05:44
weren't getting out of it she looked at Brady and said you better tell them Brady stood up and spoke for the first
01:05:52
time he explained that he had a fight with Eddie the night before and things got out of hand his body was in Hinda
01:05:59
Lee's room he told Hindley to give them the case she had in her purse Talbot and
01:06:05
car entered Hindley's room and saw Edwards body still wrapped up in the blanket with a pile of books on top the
01:06:11
axe was next to his body in the carrier bag they went back to the living room and told Brady they'd seen the body and
01:06:17
he would be going with them to hide police station for further questioning car started cautioning Brady that he
01:06:23
didn't have to say anything but Brady interrupted him yes I know he was then officially placed under arrest
01:06:31
Talbot inspected him to his room further and found two guns which were fully loaded Brady had always planned that if
01:06:38
they ever got caught they'd have a shootout with police but the police had caught them off guard and the guns were
01:06:44
locked away when they turned up Hindley wasn't arrested but she wanted to go to the police station with Brady
01:06:50
Talbot told her that would be unnecessary but Hindley insisted so Talbot arranged for her to be taken in a
01:06:57
separate car arrangements were also made for Grant to be sent elsewhere with her
01:07:01
dog Lassie while the police continued their investigation in delete took her dog puppet with her and walked outside
01:07:08
with Brady Brady was able to whisper in her ear against the world now Brady was handcuffed around one wrist and the
01:07:18
other cuff was secured around officer Fairley's wrist neighbors started gathering outside to see what was going
01:07:23
on and then a car drove past it was the police car that David was in Brady and Hindley both saw him Brady smiled and
01:07:32
nodded Hindley gave David a look of hatred inside the car one of the officers asked
01:07:38
David is that then David nodded that's them Brady was taken to an interview room with KarenT fairly Brady repeated
01:07:48
what he had said at the house it was just a fight that got out of hand he agreed to make a full statement he said
01:07:55
he met Edward in Manchester where they had a few drinks before returning to his house him Hattersley things got out of
01:08:00
hand at the house and do they ended up in a fight David arrived while fighting and he ended up hitting Edward with his
01:08:07
stick and kicking him Brady had hurt his ankle during the fight and when Edward went to attack him again he picked up
01:08:13
the axe and hit Edward with it to protect himself when he realized that he had killed Edward they tied him up
01:08:19
carried him upstairs and then cleaned up all of the blood they cleaned on getting
01:08:24
rid of his body the next morning but the police arrived Brady made sure to emphasize that Hindley didn't
01:08:30
participate at all he stated we tied up the body Dave and I nobody else helped [Music]
01:08:38
that afternoon Hindley was taken into an interview room the first question they asked her was this morning a man's body
01:08:45
was found in your house who is that person until he responded I don't know and I'm not saying anything asked Ian my
01:08:53
story's the same as Ian's but the police continued asking questions Hindley told them that they
01:09:00
had all gone to the Moors the previous night which was already different to Brady's Manchester story police would
01:09:07
you care to tell me what happened at your house last night Hindley all I'm saying is that I didn't
01:09:12
do it and Dean didn't do it we're involved in something we didn't do we never left each other we never do what
01:09:19
happened last night was an accident it should never have happened police an accident if what you say is
01:09:26
true it's in your interest to tell the truth of what did happen Hindley shook her head asking my story
01:09:34
is the same as his what are they going to do within because what he has done I have done police do you understand how
01:09:42
serious this is Hindley I understand but I know this allegation came from David Smith who is
01:09:48
a lawyer and probably testified he saw everything but didn't police how did Edward come to be inside your home
01:09:56
Hindley I've told you before I'm not saying anything Emily's interrogation ended at 4:30 p.m.
01:10:04
by that time Edwards mother Edith was at hide police station to identify her son's body she left in tears she crossed
01:10:12
paths with Hindley on the way out detective car was recently at the time and said she was totally lacking in
01:10:19
emotion she never showed any remorse at any time when I spoke to her she was hard and evil pathologist Charles st.
01:10:29
Hill first inspected Edwards body in Hindu Lee's room the books that Brady placed on his body were the red brain a
01:10:36
collection of horror tales among women only a collection of post-war tales from Italy and to the road ahead a collection
01:10:43
of children's poetry saying he'll noted that all about words features had been distorted beyond
01:10:49
recognition his trousers were unfastened and in one of his pockets there was a letter from a girl named Wendy Wendy had
01:10:56
written a friend of hers was interested in a friend of Edwards so two please ask
01:11:00
him out for her she also told Edward she missed him and hoped he would be visiting sometime soon
01:11:06
above her signature she gave lots of kisses an entire team of officers combed through the house looking for evidence
01:11:13
they found samples of hair blood clothing two tape recorders with tapes hundreds of photographs and negatives a
01:11:20
tarp and photo album two loaded guns bullets in a cardboard box and two the carrier bag containing the acts that it
01:11:27
killed Edward the letter that Brady had been writing in the living room when police entered was addressed the Tom
01:11:34
Brady's & Kimberly's boss at Mill woods it was writing that he had a bad ankle after an accident on his motorbike and
01:11:40
he would have to see a doctor at 6:30 p.m. Detective Chief Superintendent Arthur
01:11:46
Ben field arrived at the house Ben field was head detective of Cheshire County which hide police station was part of at
01:11:54
the time Ben field had already been at the house that morning but returned to make sure nothing had been overlooked
01:12:00
other officers were still combing through the house and hadn't gotten to in Billy's car yet Ben field searched
01:12:06
the car and found a wallet inside the wallet were three sheets of paper written on the paper were Brady's
01:12:13
instructions on how to clean up after the murder to get rid of forensic Brady had used abbreviations and code words
01:12:20
but Ben field still recognized that as a blueprint for murder Ben field took the
01:12:26
sheets of paper with him back to hide police station and showed them to Brady Brady's response was to ask about
01:12:32
Hindley but Ben field pressed him about what was written on the paper Brady admitted he'd written it but said
01:12:39
he did so after Edwards murder Ben field asked him about their abbreviations and
01:12:43
codes Brady cleared some of them up but lied about others Ben fields last question was why Brady had written guns
01:12:51
on the list when the murder was committed with an ax Brady said four if anybody had seen us burying the body the
01:12:58
guns were herself detection Benfield ended he's interview with Brady at 8:20 p.m. and then charged
01:13:05
him with the murder of Edward Evans Brady was given a charge form on which he wrote I stand on the statement I made
01:13:11
this morning he signed it and was then taken to the basement cells for their not after charging Brady Benfield went
01:13:20
for Hindley Hindley had been waiting in the station's canteen since her interview ended earlier that afternoon
01:13:25
she had been visited by her mother Nellie and her uncle who pleaded with her to tell the truth an early police
01:13:32
theory was that Hindley was a sex worker and Brady killed Edward because he refused the paid they took her clothes
01:13:39
for inspection as well as samples of her saliva blood and hair the samples showed
01:13:44
that she shared the same blood group as Edward when Benfield entered the canteen
01:13:49
and approached Hindley he was straight to the point would you like to say anything about the murder
01:13:54
Hindley no not until you let me say in Benfield he's been charged with murder and will
01:14:00
be in court tomorrow morning in Burleigh then I'll be in court and I'll see you after I've seen Ian Benfield letter go
01:14:08
but told her she couldn't return to 16 waddle Brook Avenue since the house was still being examined
01:14:13
Hindley asked where Brady would be spending the night when Banfield answered in a cell it was the first time
01:14:20
Hindley's heart expression changed the one over worried as Hindu Lee left the station with Nellie they crossed paths
01:14:27
with David and Maureen Nelion Hindley gave them both a look of hatred Nelly considered what Maureen had done to her
01:14:34
sister as betrayal to the family David and Maureen had been questioned the entire day and night David's name
01:14:41
actually appeared as part of Brady's disposal plan on the three sheets of paper David said he had no idea why
01:14:47
Brady included him he had never seen the sheets of paper before at her mother's house Hindu Lee read the Manchester
01:14:54
Evening News and saw there was a column on the front page that already talked about her the headline read body found
01:15:00
in house murder and mentioned her in Gran's name but he didn't mention Brady's name at 10 a.m. the next day
01:15:08
Friday October 8 1965 Brady appeared at Hyde match straights court the Manchester Evening
01:15:15
News reported the event as follows at a three minute hearing a man was charged with the murder of Edward Evans as he
01:15:22
left the dock he nodded at a blonde the woman friend after Brady's first brief court appearance Hindley went to hide
01:15:29
police station with their dog puppet she asked to see Brady and asked if she could have a car back both requests were
01:15:35
denied while all this was going on detectives were trying to find out more Talbot and Benfield concentrated on
01:15:43
Edward trying to work out if he had a connection to Brady they spoke to Edwards family and friends showing them
01:15:49
a picture of Brady but no one recognized him detective Farrelly went to mill words to
01:15:54
search Brady and Hinda Lee's office and to interview their co-workers he didn't learn much from them other than Brady
01:15:59
and Hindley kept mostly to themselves in his statement David Smith said that Brady bragged he had killed before the
01:16:07
murder of Edward Evans and had specifically mentioned that taking people from Manchester to the Moores
01:16:13
Manchester police searched through missing person cases and found three that jumped out of them Pauline Reade
01:16:20
Keith Bennett and to Leslie and Downey John killbride was taken from Ashe than underline that was part of a different
01:16:27
jurisdiction Lancashire County say Manchester police didn't link it Detective Chief Inspector John Terrell
01:16:35
from Manchester City police visited height police station to learn more about Ian Brady on the morning of
01:16:43
Saturday October 9th Hindley returned to hide police station in another attempt to see Brady Ben
01:16:49
field grabbed her and took her into his office he asked her more questions but all Hindley would say is and didn't do
01:16:56
it and I didn't do it Ben field asked then who did it Hindley answered I'm not saying nothing
01:17:03
until I've seen Ian's solicitor a meeting was arranged with the solicitor for Monday and Hindley left the station
01:17:11
Hindley went to a launderette and a vent to her office in Mill woods her boss Tom
01:17:16
arrived a little later he told Hindley Brady would never be allowed to enter Mill woods again but she could keep her
01:17:22
job Hindley actually requested to be let go since she could claim the doll later that
01:17:29
Saturday the investigation changed for good Fairley was going through a notebook belonging to Brady they found
01:17:35
at sixteen Waddle Brook Avenue on one of the pages that contain the names of actors and other characters he saw a
01:17:42
name that jumped out at him John Kilbride fairly immediately remembered John as the boy who had gone missing
01:17:49
from Ashland market back in November 1963 ash then underlined police were immediately notified Detective Chief
01:17:58
Inspector Joe Mansi couldn't get there quick enough he went through Brady's notebook and then asked the Spector
01:18:04
David Smith who had been questioned over 10 hours each day since Brady's arrest David was being taken back and forth
01:18:10
between Hyde police station and Manchester Police Station he had also done a reenactment of the killing and
01:18:16
cleanup at 16 Waddle Brook Avenue David felt no one believed him and he was being treated more as a suspect than as
01:18:24
a witness that all changed with me on C's arrival David believe demands that you listen to
01:18:29
him and instead of having immediate suspicion of him like the others he displayed patience and understanding
01:18:35
after speaking to David my auntie asked to inspect the photographs found in the house he thought some of them didn't
01:18:42
seem right as though our pictures of mostly dirt one that stood out in particular to me
01:18:47
as he was of Hindley's car next to black rocks on the moor he remembered David mentioning bodies being buried on the
01:18:53
moor so me ons he said we'll do what Brady did bloody well dig his superior at Ashland underline agreed but Benfield
01:19:03
thought it was a needle in a haystack job since the mort's was an area of 400 square miles the search of the Moors
01:19:11
began on Sunday October 10th at 1:30 p.m. Nancy and Talbot took David and Maureen and drove to the Moors they went
01:19:19
to Woodhead as they believed that was a possible burial location since in Brady's disposal plan he had written w/h
01:19:26
when they go there means he gave David a selection of photographs he had picked out but he believed were possible
01:19:33
pointers to burial sites David studied them then passed them to Maureen to see if she recognized
01:19:39
something but neither of them were able to point out a specific place so police started searching randomly Manzi was
01:19:47
determined to find John as we know John had been nicknamed mounds he's led by officers had asked an underlying police
01:19:53
station he notified John's family about the discovery of his name in Brady's notebook musi spent countless hours
01:20:01
searching the more he was trying to match the photos to the specific spot they had been taken but it was no easy
01:20:07
task given the 400 square mile area his wife barely saw him during this period the
01:20:14
afternoon of Sunday October 10th Hindley went to see her Grant who was staying with Nellie and Nellie's new
01:20:19
lover bill Nellie had separated from Hindley's father Bob despite being at the house during the murder and at other
01:20:26
times when Brady and Hindley were cleaning up after previous murders gran said she knew nothing
01:20:32
Hindley's father Bob didn't want anything to do with either her or Maureen because they knew about Nellie's
01:20:38
affair with Bill and didn't tell him on Monday morning October 11th Hindley met Robert Fitzpatrick Brady's
01:20:46
solicitor she told him she went along with what Brady said about Edward after this meeting police tried to question
01:20:52
Hindley again but she sat in silence and refused to say anything at the Moores police for highlighting areas of
01:21:00
interest with yellow paint Manzi went through five negatives he had found that he believed would point to at
01:21:06
least one burial site a mass search was organized that involved all police forces in the area
01:21:12
inspector John Chaddock from Upper mill the largest village in Saddleworth was brought over to help since he knew the
01:21:18
area well at 12:15 p.m. that afternoon Terral and mounds he questioned Brady about two of the missing children Jon
01:21:26
Kilbride and Keith Bennett when Manzi kept pressing Brady about John Brady said I've read about him I think but I
01:21:35
don't know anything of him the two detectives then focused on Brady's disposal plan and two specific words
01:21:42
that appeared on the sheets of paper periodically unmoved I asked if this term worked as a reminder to check that
01:21:50
the burial sites hadn't been touched Brady shrugged at him and said it's only to do with evidence at 3:00 p.m. that
01:21:58
afternoon Hindley was charged for being an accessory to Edwards murder Hindley said she had nothing to say
01:22:04
until she saw Brady solicitor Hindley was escorted out of the interrogation room and into a tiled cell in the
01:22:13
basement where her mug shot was taken she was then taken back upstairs to have her fingerprints done a policewoman told
01:22:20
her she should confess because it wasn't worth sacrificing herself for a man Hindley kept looking forward and didn't
01:22:27
say a thing Brady was questioned extensively for the rest of that afternoon at one point
01:22:33
means he said to him but I think you have feelings at all the only feelings you have gada for your
01:22:38
dog will destroy your dog and maybe you'll realize what it's like to lose something you love
01:22:44
Brady remained silent mounds he stood up and as he was leaving the room he called
01:22:49
Brady a bastard before slamming the door shut the interview ended at 8:00 p.m. and Brady was driven to Risley remand
01:22:57
Center 50 kilometers west of Hyde police station Hindley was driven to Rizzoli remand Center as well in a different car
01:23:04
they'll both placed in separate rooms from other inmates work was already out that they were being investigated for
01:23:11
the murders of children and there were a few inmates who wanted to get their hands on them on Tuesday morning October
01:23:18
12th a prison officer handed Hindley a letter from Brady in the letter Brady told her who would be given life
01:23:24
imprisonment and he wouldn't be able to bear it so he wanted her to be brave like Emma Goering the former wife of
01:23:31
Herman Goering who'd been a leading member of the Nazi Party Emme had hosted many Nazi events and
01:23:38
dubbed herself the first lady of the Third Reich in 1946 Herman was going to be hanged but instead he took cyanide
01:23:46
and committed suicide Brady was telling Hindley he would have the same destiny and that after he was dead his influence
01:23:53
on her would ease and should be able to begin a new life without him on the last line he wrote he loved her
01:23:59
in German Hindley asked the governor it recently she could see Brady before their first
01:24:04
court appearance and her request was granted they met in a room without separated by
01:24:09
a sheet of glass Brady was wearing the suit he was arrested in and smiled when he saw him he was in prison clothes she
01:24:17
said she was saving her clothes for court Brady told her to visit rizz Lee's library to keep her mind off things
01:24:23
before asking her if she was able to get rid of the receipt for the suitcases thought at the luggage department in
01:24:29
Manchester central railway station Hindley shook her head and said she wasn't able to go back for it because
01:24:35
police had been guarding the house the entire time their seat for the luggage storage hadn't be found but police had
01:24:42
found a receipt for the rental of a white Ford registration number 9 - 75 nd on November 23rd 1963 the same day John

01:25:14
killbride Keith Bennett Pauline Reade and Lesley and Downey at the Moores officers were searching by
01:25:22
pushing sticks into the ground they would then sniff the end of the sticks and if the end of smelled of

01:25:34

Lesley and Downey who is 10 has been missing from her home since Boxing Day last year she was last seen on a
01:26:34

01:26:42
before asking what are you suggesting Manzi do you know anything about her disappearance Hindley
01:26:49
I don't know anything about her I've never been near a fairground after questioning Hindley me on CMT removed on
01:26:57
the brady they showed him some of the pictures and asked him where they were taken he did name some of the spots they
01:27:04
then asked him about the allegations David had made about Brady bragging about other murders and burying the
01:27:09
bodies on the moor baby didn't respond that same day Hindley wrote a letter to Elsie
01:27:15
Masterton her neighbor at waddle Brook Avenue to ask her to take care of puppet Elsie contacted the police immediately
01:27:23
not because of the letter but because she realized her 11 year old daughter patty had gone with Brady and in delije
01:27:29
to the moor several times and she might be able to help them in their search at 1:30 p.m. on Friday October 15th two
01:27:38
detectives picked up paddy from school and drove her to the mall paddy told them to drive through greenfield past
01:27:44
the Clarence pub go round the last Bend and stop at the sign paddy then pointed at the rocks of Hollen brown knoll she
01:27:52
told detectives this is the spot Brady and Hindley always took her to one of the detectives grabbed the map and saw
01:27:58
that Wesson didn't head was only a few kilometres away from this spot and maybe that was the WH Brady was referring to
01:28:05
in his disposal plans at 3:00 p.m. that afternoon the search was moved from Woodhead to Holland Brian all the spots
01:28:13
are 20 kilometres away from each other three buses filled with officers along with five police cars arrived at Colin
01:28:21
brown knoll and today marks certain places to be searched the following day as she was driven home paddy told the
01:28:27
detectives two more things she said she spent hours with Hindley sitting in a car while Brady was in the mall is
01:28:33
carrying us and that she remembered visiting the exact spot she had just pointed out on
01:28:38
Christmas Day 1964 one day before Lesley and Downey's disappearance that afternoon
01:28:45
Manzi arrived at hollenberg knoll and took out some of the photographs he realized that the black rocks in the
01:28:51
area matched the ones in some of the photos that had caught his attention he felt they were in the right spot
01:28:57
meanwhile the tek-tips car and fairly questioned David again David complained you'd already told them everything in
01:29:04
you but at one point as he was going through the same story he mentioned Brady had a thing for railway stations
01:29:11
this last comment resonated with car at hide police station Ben field was shouting one interrupts the entire
01:29:19
investigation up as the him the only victim was Edward Evans and they already had not only his killer but a person
01:29:27
acting as an accessory to his murder as far as he was concerned the investigation was done but car didn't
01:29:33
listen he made calls the different railway stations and asked each place to check their luggage departments while
01:29:40
there was in his office making these calls Ben field was screaming at mounds II that he had only one more day to
01:29:45
search them all then that was it it was over but one hour later everything changed
01:29:52
Carr found the suitcases in response to a call made from car an officer from the British Transport
01:30:00
Police found Brady suitcases in Manchester central railway stations luggage storage the officer opened one
01:30:07
of Brady's suitcases and described what he found I opened one there were all sorts of things inside German books
01:30:16
pornographic magazines a gun a knife Akash and there was a tape a reel-to-reel tape we played a bit of it
01:30:26
I don't know what it was but there was a little girl crying for her mum we switched it off
01:30:34
it was terrible car didn't tell Benfield of his discovery at first because he didn't trust him Benfield was still
01:30:44
screaming that it was all a big waste of time and they needed to move on car went
01:30:49
to Manchester Central and collected the suitcases and took them back to hide police station Karen Fairley went
01:30:56
through the contents they found photographs of a little girl in all of them she had a scarf pulled tightly
01:31:02
around her face and she wasn't wearing anything other than socks and shoes they knew Hindley and brady weren't going
01:31:09
anywhere so they decided to call it a night and go back through the contents more thoroughly the next day they didn't
01:31:15
know who the girl was in the photos and identifying her would be their number-one priority they didn't have the
01:31:22
wait long Fairley went to Carr's house for dinner that night after dinner they watched TV and a photograph of Lesley
01:31:28
and Donnie appeared on the screen as part of a special broadcast about the case they had just identified the girl
01:31:35
in Brady's suitcase car revealed his findings the next morning all of the senior detectives from the different
01:31:43
jurisdictions argued that they should take possession of the suitcases and lead the investigation but Benfield was
01:31:49
having none of it he suddenly changed his tune and declared he was in charge because his officers have found the
01:31:55
suitcases and Brady and Hindley were in his custody the suitcases were searched more thoroughly inside the blue suitcase
01:32:03
there were the following books the anti sex sexual anomalies and perversions cradle of erotic

another woman 54 photo negatives 55 photo prints and two tapes a reel-to-reel tape recorder was brought
01:33:48
into the office and the detectives started playing the tapes the first one kicked off with Brady chanting German
01:33:54
then marching music followed with a goon sketch followed with a talk about Hitler
01:34:00
from the BBC program any questions into then suddenly the last track started with the layout scream of Leslie and
01:34:07
Donnie Pat Clayton an officer who worked closely with me on Z said this about the
01:34:13
tape I heard the tape many many times and it was probably more horrendous the more you heard it the more you could
01:34:21
understand what was being said it got worse detective car returned home that night
01:34:28
sat on a chair and started crying he said I thought about the little girls voice on the tape and about how I would
01:34:35
feel if that had been my daughter Hindley was a willing partner in the atrocities that were taking place
01:34:42
according to Ben field that same day was supposed to be the last day of the search on the Moors Saturday October
01:34:48
16th 1965 the rest of the police forces had given up on finding anything there mountie started searching early
01:34:57
believing you'd find John he said my boys up there Nancy organized the group of 12 people from Ashland underline with
01:35:05
a few more joining in from a neighboring station Robert Spears one of the officers who
01:35:12
were searching kept looking up at the hills that were nearby he had a feeling there was something there but he didn't
01:35:18
say anything and he kept on searching where he was taught at midday miyanji left the moors and another
01:35:24
detective was put in charge of the search at 2:30 p.m. he called the search off and they started packing up Spears
01:35:32
realized that if he wanted to go with his gut it was Now or Never he decided to go up the hill when he got
01:35:40
there he was unable to see much because of a heavy mist as he was heading back he saw a sort of pond with something
01:35:47
white sticking out of it he went in to take a better look but couldn't make out what it was so he grabbed the stick and
01:35:54
poked the water was too dirty to see anything properly but there was an overpowering smell
01:36:01
he ran back to meet up with the rest of the officers and told the detective in charge that he went up the hill to take
01:36:07
a piss and he had found something Spears grabbed a rod and headed back up the hill the detective in charge started
01:36:14
following after him with the rest of the team all them grumbling until Speer showed them what he called the white
01:36:21
withering thing that stuck out of the water the officer started digging to drain the pond as though doing so the
01:36:29
detective in charge told spheres he was an idiot and they should have been heading back by now but instead they
01:36:34
were stuck there for what was probably a sheep it wasn't the white withering thing as described wasp ears was the
01:36:43
mutilated forearm of a child along with it the officers came upon a tartan skirt
01:36:49
buckled shoes and if the remains of a body there was one photographer left at the
01:36:56
scene and he had seen the movement of the officers he asked what they found they told him it was just the sheep but
01:37:03
the photographer kept hanging around the officers didn't want the news out just yet so they created a diversion they
01:37:10
split up into two groups the first group all into a van and drove back to Ashton
01:37:14
underlined the photographer followed then the second group stayed hidden inside a second bin waiting until the
01:37:21
photographer was gone they then called me on Z from the Clarence pub and told him what they'd fear not me and she
01:37:28
drove back to the mall and Spears took him to the spot Manzi corporate pathologists and providing intense the
01:37:36
pathologists who attended the same where professor Cyril Paulson had a forensic medicine at Leeds University and his
01:37:42
colleague David G who would later become the head pathologist in the Yorkshire Ripper case they had found the body of
01:37:50
Lesley and Danny she had her clothes pot on top of her face there was the blue coat the pink cardigan the tartan skirt
01:37:59
socks shoes and white plastic beach from the necklace her brother won for her G noted that the skeleton remains of the
01:38:08
left arm which was the arm speed Singh was extended above her head in the hand was missing the right arm
01:38:15
was beneath the body and both of her legs were flexed to meet her head just how Brady had instructed David Smith to
01:38:22
tie Edward up her entire body was naked and one of the detectives at the scene was surprised that the fact that half
01:38:28
her body was perfectly preserved and half of it was unrecognizable in his own words one half was destroyed no features
01:38:36
nothing Leslie's body was transported to the more tree in Upper Mill the post-mortem was conducted by G paulsen
01:38:45
and a third pathologist G concluded smothering was Leslie's cause of death Leslie's mother in was brought in to
01:38:54
identify her body upon seeing her in said for some reason the sheet had been drawn up to hide the right side of her
01:39:01
torso and face she looked beautiful she seemed to be asleep her dark curly hair spilled out over the protective sheet I
01:39:10
winced as I saw the swelling around her lips It was as if she had bitten hard on
01:39:16
them Leslie lays so silently she had always been a quiet girl but this silent stillness was something I had not
01:39:23
experienced before this was the absolute and final stillness of death my Leslie was dead I knew it now I knew it but
01:39:33
could not accept it and asked the touch Leslie or to take a lock of her hair with her but she wasn't allowed to when
01:39:42
she got home the press was waiting for Robert Spears found out about the body's identity from the news he said he
01:39:51
couldn't sleep that night and added quote I couldn't get the side of the hill and the protruding bone out
01:39:57
of my mind I couldn't forget the smell once we drain the hollow death has a smell and on the more it was distinct
01:40:05
during that weekend David Smith was out with his father when they stopped at a newsstand and saw the headline body
01:40:12
found on more it was then that everything became an actual reality to David and he realized Brady hadn't been
01:40:19
drunkenly blubbing all those nights he'd actually killed several times and buried
01:40:24
his victims on the moor just like he said he had meanwhile the police prepared themselves to
01:40:31
