Why We Re-Opened the Moors Murders Case

In this powerful interview, former Detective Inspector Geoff Knupfer reflects on the 1985 decision to re-open the Moors Murders investigation into Ian Brady and Myra Hindley. He explains how the cases of two missing children — Pauline Reade and Keith Bennett — became the driving force behind the renewed inquiry.

Knupfer discusses the challenges of reigniting a murder investigation that many believed was long finished, and the extraordinary turn of events that led to Myra Hindley confessing to her involvement for the first time.

He recalls the unprecedented experience of escorting both Brady and Hindley — from prison and hospital respectively — back to Saddleworth Moor, hoping they might finally reveal where the missing children were buried.

After two years of re-examining evidence and painstaking searches, Knupfer shares how the team ultimately discovered the remains of Pauline Reade, more than two decades after her disappearance.
