Alan Bennett, the brother of ‘lost boy’ Keith, has written another gentle and heart-felt piece giving a glimpse into the world of those who were left behind and were forced on a quest to find the remains of their loved ones.
Thank you Alan, your writing is keeping memories and support alive…
Alan writes: On July 1st in 1987 the body of Pauline Reade was discovered and brought off Saddleworth Moor, 24 years after Pauline had been murdered and buried on the moor by Brady and Hindley.
After she was returned to her family Pauline’s mum, Joan, told us that ‘It was like a big dark cloud had been lifted off my shoulders’.
Joan found some small peace of mind eventually and the change in her life after Pauline was found was so very good to see.
I met Pauline’s immediate family and I can honestly say that Pauline’s mum, Joan, who I got hugs from on quite a few occasions, was one of the nicest, gentle and sincere people I have ever met.
Thinking of and remembering Pauline and her family.
