Is anyone old enough to remember this happening?

That's pretty scary stuff. Where did you live?

I wasnt born when the moors murders happened, I do live in Manchester and know alot about the case though.

Mrs Voorhees is watching you!

I was around 9 years old when this horrible story unfolded.
We lived in the country and the Daily express paper(s) would be delivered to a phone box, my Mother used to send me to collect them and she would be glued to the paper for ages! (Apr/May '66)When the early evening news came on my Father would send us out to play, but we never realised the significance then. Comics at the time would say:'Remember children, never accept lifts from strangers in cars'.

I wasn't born when it all happened, my parents were only 5 at the time. My Grandma worked with Brady, she said he was very strange and kept to himself. I live not far from the moors. I was born in the town where they took John Kilbride from the market. I went to school in the town where they brought the bodies off the moors, they stored the bodies in a local butchers freezer. The house that they murdered the children in is no longer there. Its just a row of houses with one missing. Everytime i go over Saddleworth moors its really creepy. Sounds cruel but the first time i herd all about the story was travelling over the moors, i think i was about 11 or 12. People in the area never talk about it. Its still so sad, it could of been anyones son, daughter or cousin etc. It could of easily been my parents. God knows how many they actually did kill. Sadly Myra and Brady arn't the only 2 serial killers from the area. Doctor Harold Shipman was also from Tameside. He killed over 215 of his patients.

I do. I lived in London at the time. Two things strike me. The film did not bring out the extent of Hindley's guilt in entrapping the children. They might have feared an approach from a strange man, but not a friendly woman. This was hinted at but not developed.

Secondly, and I know this sounds nerdish, but I think the film had the cars wrong. I thought Brady/Hindley had a grey Austin A60. My reason is that shortly before David Smith went to the police station, my fellow tenant in Clapham London was asked to account for his movements by police investigating the disappearances of the children. This guy was a company rep visiting shops in the North of England, and he had his call sheets which he had to produce and they went away. Later I read that the police had traced all but a tiny number of Austin A60 drivers by the time that Smith handed himself in. I think the good cop/bad cop view of the investigation shown in the film might have been unfair to some fairly good detectives. But I liked, if that is the word, the film, which has just been shown by TV3 in Ireland.

Or is my memory of events 40 years ago playing tricks?

Hindley worked in a factory my mother worked in, but not at the same time (Robertson's Jam in Droylsden) relatives of one of the victims live in my neighborhood. I know some people who knew Hindley vaguely as a child. I read in one of the books that Hindley fell off her bike at Crown Point in Denton once (near Gorton) I cycle there all the time and it's really creepy to think I'm retracing her steps. Growing up the case was never talked about, in fact the first time I was aware of it was when Hindley and Brady were mentioned in a Sex Pistols song.

I was born at the back end of the 70's and have been aware of the Moors Murders for quite some years, I have watched See no Evil and many documentaries about it.

Whenever we drive over the Pennines it chills me to the bone, sadly that moor has had an awful aura left over it after what they did, I sort of look at the rugged landscape and imagine Brady and Hindley standing smug over a shallow grave with the wind blowing their hair - my imagination is too vivid for my own good sometimes! I find myself scanning the landscape wondering if I am glancing over where Keith may be buried - and with recent revelations there could be more poor children up there!
