Niece of Moors murder victim finds long lost picture 60 years after tragedy

A never-seen-before photo of Moors murder victim Pauline Reade has been shared 60 years after she was killed.

The old family photo shows Pauline smiling sweetly for the camera in her Sunday best just before heading to church in the outskirts of Manchester. She is alongside elder brother Paul.

The poignant image is believed to have been taken in 1953, a decade before her death at the hands of Ian Brady and Myra Hindley. It is not known exactly when the photo was taken, but Pauline – the first victim snatched by the monsters at 16 on her way to a local dance on July 12, 1963 – is believed to have been about six or seven.
