Case 49
The Moors Murders
(Part 1)
*** Warning: This case involves a child victim ***
[Part 1 of 3]
In 1963, two youths disappeared during separate incidents in and around the northern English city of Manchester. First, 16-year-old Pauline Reade vanished while on her way to a dance. Then, four months later, 12-year-old John Kilbride disappeared from a market in Ashton-under-Lyne.
Nobody realised it at the time, but a pair of serial killers were responsible – and their crime spree was only just beginning.
