Saddleworth Moor week-long search finds no evidence of Keith Bennett's remains
Police have concluded their search of Saddleworth Moor and confirmed that there is no evidence of human remains.
The search concluded there was no evidence to indicate the presence of human remains, the force said. Specialist officers have been at the scene for a week. The Daily Mail previously reported Mr Edwards believed he had located the youngster’s remains following “extensive soil analysis”. It is said Mr Edwards commenced his own dig – close to where the other Moors Murders victims were found – and uncovered a skull with teeth present which independent experts are reported to have concluded is human.
The victims were: Pauline Reade, 16, who disappeared on her way to a disco on July 12, 1963; John Kilbride, 12, who was snatched in November the same year; Lesley Ann Downey, 10, who was lured away from a funfair on Boxing Day 1964; and Edward Evans, 17, who was axed to death in October 1965.
