Episode 24: The Moors Murders - The Ones Left Behind

The Moors Murders - committed by Ian Brady and Myra Hindley between 1963 and 1965 - are among the most documented crimes in British history. This episode is not about the crimes themselves. It is about the radius of destruction that spread outward from five murders and continued for more than sixty years: the families of Pauline Reade, John Kilbride, Keith Bennett, Lesley Ann Downey, and Edward Evans; the people caught in the wreckage around the killers; the communities that absorbed the weight of what happened; and a case that, in 2026, remains formally open. Keith Bennett has never been found.
