It's probably a case of people wanting to tie-up loose ends by ascribing unsolved murders and disappearances to those who have already been caught.
Ian Brady made a chilling observation - borne out by Denis Nielsen and others - if you murder a complete stranger, the chances are, you will get away with it. As the previous response indicates, rumours will always proliferate around such a high profile case, but in the end, only Brady knows, and will never tell.
