Mr. Geoff Knupfer:

Very briefly, we were looking for the remains of one of the moors' murder victims - a young lady called Pauline Reade. We had a fairly broad location for her burial in a piece of peat bog. We knew she had been murdered and buried on a summer's evening. We looked at this outcrop of peat. Of course the question immediately arose whether the site could be seen from the road. If it could be seen from the road, then clearly people could not have buried her in daylight. If they had buried her in the dark then her body could be anywhere.

We had a facility to return to the office each evening and speak, on a one-to-one basis, with the offender, Myra Hindley. We chatted about this and asked her whether she could remember if it was still daylight or had it gone dark by the time her co-offender, Brady, had buried the body. She said she remembered it was just going dark; that it was just dusk really. She said "I recall it because I remember looking across the valley and seeing the 'V' of the hills coming down into the valley on the other side of the valley we were in." We said: "Okay, fine. Thanks very much indeed." We went back the next day and realised there was only one point on that piece of peat bog where one could see that "V" in the valley opposite and of course that led to the recovery of the body of Pauline Reade. A little titbit of information made all of the difference in the world.
