Last Moors victim search

[Schutzengel]

The search for 12yr old Keith Bennett's remains has now been abandoned by the police. That poor boy and his mum have been on my mind for years. Rest in Peace little lad.

i'm a grown man and every time i hear kieths name mentioned tears fill my eyes,when you read what the poor little soul suffered on the icy cold moor that night it make me feel sick,
brady has suffered no pain at all just incarceration.

Well at least we know that the poor wee soul is in Heaven, more than can be said of Henley and that other monster Brady when His time is up! May God Give Keith's Mum and family the strength to carry on with Their lives. As You say RIP wee man

[Schutzengel]

Thanks Deggers and Beauj. It's good to know that Keith is still remembered, and I certainly agree with your comments. Schutz.

I remember this case well and it is sad that his family will never get the closure of a proper funeral service for him. His body will probably be found by complete accident one day. I only hope it is sooner rather than later.

[jackthehat]

I've recently felt that given Brady's determination to die, he ought to be offered that in return for disclosing the whereabouts of Keith Bennett.

When Keith is safely returned to those who loved him, the government should withdraw all opposition to Brady's hunger strike........and send him on his way to join Hindley in hell.

[paraffin]

I too remember that horrendous time and its events only too well.
Saddleworth Moor, which until then I'd never heard of, is a name etched on my memory until I gasp my last.

And isn't it heart rending to see Keith Bennett's frail old mum on the telly pleading for Brady to give up the location of her dead son so that she could have some kind of closure before she herself passes away. I fear she waits in vain.

[Schutzengel]

I'm afraid that Brady is just pure evil. To keep quiet about where Keith is for all these years, knowing the interminable suffering endured by Keith's mother, I feel is completely beyond redemption.
Jack I think your suggestion is a very good one, and I only wish it could happen.

[lynbrown]

Very sad. I would doubt that Brady could find the place after all these years. So sorry, Winnie. RIP wee chap.

[4getmenot]

I dont think he has kept quiet as such, he has tried to say and Hindley definately has tried helping but the moors is one hell of a big place they have just never been able to locate the exact spot. I hope he is found before his parents pass away. x

[Schutzengel]

Yes Hindley was taken to the moor to see if she could identify the spot, but she is now dead, and the only person left with any idea of the location is Brady. Saddleworth Moor is enormous, but only Brady knows the areas of the moor which they used on an all too regular basis. The sad thing is that searching for anything out there even with the latest technology available, something can be missed by just a couple of feet. Even more sad is the fact that after all their efforts the police have now abandoned the search. For Keith's poor mum it must feel as though the last vestige of hope is gone. Her pain must be worse now, than when at least there was a glimmer of hope that her son would be found. My heart aches for her.
