The Mother of a Moors Murderers victim.

[yorkiesauctions]

This woman's fight and determination to find her son's body has touched me. I was looking at her site and it struck me that she seems to be receiving little help and little in the way of funding. Even the site is a freebie one.

Hindley died in 2002 and Brady is not offering any help to find their victim. Last year the police officially called off the search for Keith's body but his mum is determined to carry on by organising a private search of the areas that police haven't searched. To do this she needs specialised help and specialised equipment but money is a problem so she is looking for sponsors, donations, and volunteers.

More information can be found on her site HERE.

Her only bit of good news recently is that after all these years Keith has been granted a memorial service on Friday, March 5, at Manchester Cathedral so his family can at last celebrate his life.

This mother would dearly love to find the body of her son so that she can give him a proper Christian burial. So please visit her site and help the lass in any way that you can, even if it's just donating a few quid to help her get the help she needs for the private search for Keith's body.

Why don't they get those clairvoyants from most haunted and tv programmes. falling over bodies on the TV shows, surely they could 'feel' something.

Clairvoyants looking to make a name for themselves have tried many times in the past.

I received a PM which stated, "I don't think you are doing this woman any good by pandering to her self pity and false hope of finding her son's body after all these years. People would serve her better by helping her to move on and get on with her own life rather than spending it thinking about her dead son. It is not healthy."

I won't say who sent the PM as they would have posted it here if they had wanted to. But I would like to post my reply here just incase other members are of the same opinion as the one quoted above.

My reply was...

This woman has already searched for many years and has excepted that her son met a violent end at the hands of Brady and Hindley but she simply wants to find his bones so that she can give him a Christian burial as is custom to her beliefs. She is not deluding herself that her son is still alive or that some miracle will happen, she simply wants to lay her son's body to rest. I can't imagine what she has gone through over the years, especially after having her hopes raised several times when Brady and Hindley wanted a day out of prison and told police that they would show them where they hid the body. But I do know that this is a mum doing her best for her son and I would like to think that I would do the same for any of my children.

It's very simple really... This woman feels that it is important to her and to her son's wishes that his body be found and buried with the appropriate Christian ceremony, what's so wrong about that?

I doubt this woman is indulging in self pity, more i would think (in my opinion) suffering from sorrow and heartbreak that never ends !
My heart goes out to anyone who loses a child in any circumstance, but to lose a child and never know where they are (alive or otherwise) and want to put them to rest..sheesh how can you ever , ever move forward not knowing WHERE they/or their remains are
i cant comprehend how she gets from day to day, i hope she does get to put her son to rest in the way she feels is right.
Bless her.

You are not 'pandering' at all.
Keith's mam is still searching for both physical and mental relief and has done so for many years.

The fact that she has a website shows she is not 'crippled' by grief but actually pursuing answers and campaigning when others had long ago given up.

It was only yesterday that a 'Survivor' was pulled from the ruins in Haiti after the search for life was abandoned.

Who knows what the future holds for Keiths mum. It is improbable that Keith will be found, but not impossible.
Keith's mam is keeping her faith alive and should be respected for it.

Believing in spirit as I do,
I'm sure Keith will be wanting his mum to know where he is,so he too can find peace,
knowing his mum has some kind of comfort and closure
after the large part of her life spent in sorrow and heartbreak that we can barely imagine

I find it hard, but not impossible, to believe that somebody could actually use the phrase 'pandering to her self-pity,' when the woman concerned has known for years that her child quite probably met a painful, tortuous and lonely death at the hands of those that should, in a good world, protect the innocent not violate the vulnerable.

And any fool can see that without finding her son's body, without being able to give what is left of him some love, some pity, then she cannot move on.

What is supposed to set us apart from the rest of the animal kingdom is the capacity to be compassionate ... without that we are nothing.

I totally agree with you, I cannot understand how someone can be so mean,cold, and unconcerned . What that poor child must have gone through, you cannot begin to imagine. But his mother must have done exactly that for years.
