The Moors Murders

Between 1963 and 1965 Ian Brady and Myra Hindley abducted and murdered five children in and around Manchester, burying four of them on Saddleworth Moor. Both were convicted in 1966 and sentenced to life. The body of Keith Bennett has never been found despite decades of searches on the moor.
