A 'human jaw' which sparked the latest attempt to find Moors Murders victim Keith Bennett could be a 'plant-based' material, police have said. Forensic experts have spent the last week painstakingly excavating two areas of Saddleworth Moor in a bid to locate the 12-year-old's body.
But this afternoon (Friday) GMP announced the search had been brought to a close after 'no evidence of the presence of human remains' was found. For Keith's family, it means the agonising 58-year wait to discover the truth continues.
Det Chief Insp Cheryl Hughes today revealed more details of how the search came about. Author Russell Edwards, who says he's spent the last seven years trying to locate Keith's remains, contacted the police on Thursday, September 29, saying he had 'had located the body of Keith Bennett and had evidence of such'.
