Human remains, believed to be part of a child’s skull have been found on Saddleworth Moor. Please god let this be Keith Bennett. That poor child can hopefully finally be laid to rest in eternal peace with his mother.

There were rumours that Brady had killed others weren’t there. I’m not sure though, he’d never have been able to keep his big mouth shut teasing bits of information if he had.

How many more? If Myra was still alive, I suppose they would have squeezed her onto another taxpayer-subsidized educational course (such was the severity of her punishment).

TallulahBetty · 30/09/2022 14:12

Please let it be him. Please.

Not just for the closure, but also so no one 'extra' has suffered, if that makes sense

To whomever said what if there's another one.

I read the book For the Love of Lesley , written by Lesley's Mum, Anne West.
She wrote that she and Alan visited the Medium Doris Stokes and during the meeting, Ann wrote, Lesley came through Doris and said things only her Mother would know.
To cut a long story short, Lesley via Doris said, "There were two of us, we never went home again">
Now I know some do not believe in Mediumship but this was written by Lesley's own Mother. I have wondered who the other one was for years.

Keith’s family are saying it’s not true sadly

The time stamp on the message is off with our time, is he in a different country? If not then this wasn't posted today.

Namechangedforthisonetoday · 30/09/2022 14:16

The story is on the main BBC news channel now. Re Doris Stokes, could it have been one of their other victims she was referring to? Apologies if I’ve misunderstood.

If it isn’t Keith then that doesn’t mean that it’s necessarily another child.

Human remains could mean a person of any age.

I hope that it is him though, assuming that it actually is human remains which have been found, reports seem to be a bit mixed.

And I hope that if there is a hell, MH and IB are both there.

Namechangedforthisonetoday · 30/09/2022 14:18

maythe4th something to do with the jaw and teeth indicates it’s a child apparently.

I do hope it is poor little Keith so that he can be laid to rest with dignity, respect and love. If only he had been found before his poor mam died.

(Also doesn't bear thinking about that it isn't him, and another child has suffered like this.)

Raahh · 30/09/2022 14:19

Wrong therad, I'm sorry.

Sakh123 · 30/09/2022 14:20

Its on the news x i saw this just now too.

MytummydontjigglejiggleItfolds · 30/09/2022 14:21

I was thinking of Keith and his Mum only yesterday. They cross my mind so often. I hope their earthly remains can be reunited.

Saltseaair · 30/09/2022 14:17

I took it to mean that 2 children were kidnapped by Brady and Hindley that night. Again, though, surely if 2 children were missing there would be appeals for both of them? Assuming it was another child and not an adult kidnapped.
Just what it said in the book and it has stayed with Me so thought I would share.

It could have been a runaway that was reported missing previously.

Where are the family saying it's not true??

Perhaps they dare not get their hopes up in case it isn't right.

I hope that the newspapers respect their privacy - I can't begin to imagine how this must be making them feel. It has me in tears and I'm not personally involved in any way. This must be earth-shattering for them.

mackthepony · 30/09/2022 14:25

As May said upthread, I hope those two are burning in hell. Absolutely dispicable pair

Yes that is true
I assume that parents are good parents, decent and caring ones, like my Parents but sadly that is not so is it.
Also if they were a runaway they might have run from anywhere and ended up in Manchester.
Guess we will never know but it did surprise me reading that in the book.

balalake · 30/09/2022 14:27

@Emotionalsupportviper agree 100% about allowing the family privacy, whether or not it is Keith Bennett.

I so hope it's Keith so his family can give him a proper burial. It's heartbreaking.

FrankTheThunderbird · 30/09/2022 14:35

Praying its poor Keith so he can finally be laid to rest.

uncomfortablydumb53 · 30/09/2022 14:39

I hope it is him
His Mother sadly died without knowing but he has other family
