UK UK - Keith Bennett, 12, Longsight, Manchester, 16 June 1964

[Cappuccino]

Am I understanding this correctly – Dr. Alan Keightley has known where Keith Bennett is buried but did not reveal this info to Winnie Johnson, Keith’s mother, before she passed? All so he can sell a book after Brady dies? Contemptible.

I doubt he really does know. More likely he's pretending to know where Keith is buried so he can sell books after Ian Brady has died, which is slightly less contemptible. Still contemptible though.

Ian Brady: I murdered four more people and buried Keith Bennett in Yorkshire. (Mirror)
Moors Murderer Brady, who has lost his bid to be moved to a prison, made the boasts in previously unpublished letters

So weird there is new news on this. I just accidentally ran across a docu on youtube about Ian in his starving strike and a letter that was returned to him about Keith Bennett.

It occurred to me that little Keith is not buried in the Moors. Probably at a place Ian lived, or many places of dumping.

Brady's said the body is in Yorkshire but authorities believe that's only a bid to get the case out of the hands of the Greater Manchester Police, against whom he has a deep grudge.

Another guess says Staffordshire is a possibility.

Friday the 12th is the 50th anniversary of Pauline Reade's murder. R.I.P.

David Jones - who just led the British search team looking for Gareth Huntley - is to begin a new search for missing 12 year-old Keith Bennett, next week.

Jones says he's identified three specific areas to search, and they'll be using dogs and technical equipment.

Keith has been missing since 1964. His mother recently died, still desperate to know where her son's body was.

ETA: Excuse me. Winnie died in 2012 - it didn't seem like that long ago.

'The hunt will begin 50 years to the day Keith vanished on his way to his gran’s home in Manchester on June 16, 1964.

Two of the specially-trained hounds – used to find bodies – were last week in Malaya helping in the search for tragic British backpacker Gareth Huntley.'

Don't know how impressed I am that the same dogs (and I presume handlers) will be used. Gareth's body was eventually found by accident, right in the camp where I believe all the searchers had been based. Something appears to have gone badly wrong there.

It will certainly piss Ian Brady off, that's worth it, imo. I so wish Keith's remains are found, too late for his mum but not for his siblings.
Ian Brady had a hold over this family, I hope before he dies, they can right royally tell him, NO MORE!! lease:

Keith Bennett taken 50 years ago today. R.I.P.

Brady and his latest apologist claiming that Keith may be buried in Yorkshire is just another attempt at obfuscation while at the same time stating what is very probably the blindingly obvious. If IB says KB is buried in Yorkshire, he's not trying to be helpful - for Americans here, it's like saying someone buried in the Mojave Desert was buried in California. In the same way the Mojave Desert straddles two states, California and Nevada, Saddleworth straddles two counties, Yorkshire and Lancashire. Historically, right up until 1974 when geographical-political boundaries were reorganised, the vast majority of Saddleworth, which comprises 30 or so square miles of bleak, featureless wilderness, was in Yorkshire. IE at the time of the murders, in the early 60s, Saddleworth was in Yorkshire. At the time Brady and Hindley were arrested Saddleworth was in Yorkshire. If Keith Bennet was buried on Saddleworth, yep, he was buried in what was then Yorkshire.

The brother of Moors Murder victim Keith Bennett is calling for the police to give him access to case files to help the family search for his body...

Alan Bennett says the family will "keep pushing" to read the files so Keith "can have the burial he deserves."

Greater Manchester Police said the family is told about new developments.

A detailed geological report on a small area of Saddleworth Moor could hold the key to reopening the infamous Moors Murders search for missing victim Keith Bennett...

The proposal for a geological survey was discussed yesterday at a top-level meeting between Greater Manchester Police cold case unit, Keith’s brother Alan and Oldham lawyer John Ainley, who has represented the family for several years...

“To assist the police, a geological report is now to be prepared which it is thought will add substance to Alan’s conviction there is compelling evidence to identify a relatively small area where Keith may be buried.”

I wish we just let him die. I resent paying taxes to keep him breathing. Let him die and forget about him

Could these be connected?

Brady stated that he'd killed two men in Glasgow and a man and woman in Manchester.

A new article on the Moors Murders, and a cold case investigator who is trying to find Keith's remains. The article includes this newly found photograph of Myra Hindley and Ian Brady outside the house where they killed the children.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/art...-house-tortured-killed-two-child-victims.html

Chilling photograph shows Moors murderers Myra Hindley and Ian Brady chatting casually outside house where they tortured and killed at least two child victims

It's a picture that looks innocent enough, a woman talking to a friend at the doorstep as her bored and distracted boyfriend lingers nearby.
But this newly unearthed image was taken shortly after at least one young child was tortured and brutally killed in the house behind the trio.

The man is Moors murderer Ian Brady, aged 27 at the time, and the blonde woman to his right Myra Hindley. She leans casually on the door frame of a house of horror where months later 17-year-old Edward Evans would be beaten with a hatchet by Brady and strangled to death.

The black and white picture was discovered by researcher Darren Rae, who believes he is close to solving the mystery of where the Moors Murderers buried victim Keith Bennett, according to Phil Cardy and Don Hale at the Sunday Mirror.

A bit of a mystery here with regards to the Saddleworth moor area.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/201...erer-ian-brady-claims-to-know-whereabouts-of/

Dr Alan Keightley claims that 78-year-old Brady, who is Britain’s longest serving prisoner, secretly revealed to him the location of Keith Bennett’s body more than 50 years after he and Myra Hindley murdered him...

Dr Keightley, who has been friends with Brady for 25 years and regularly visits him on his psychiatric ward in Ashworth Hospital, Merseyside, believes that the 12-year-old’s body is buried “at the north side of Manchester”.

Speaking to the Daily Mirror, he said: “There is a deep rise on the right where John Kilbride was buried. If you climb up the hill you turn left where it turns flat, turn left at Shiny brooks and they walked for three miles.”
