A new search for the body of Moors Murders victim Keith Bennett has ended without any remains being found. Police insist they were justified in spending seven days excavating an area near Dovestone Reservoir but a senior officer today pledged their investigation to "find answers for Keith's family" was not over.
They began the dig last week after cops were shown a photograph taken at the site by author and amateur sleuth Russell Edwards. He had shown it to other experts, who said it appeared to show part of a child's jaw bone.
The Manchester Evening News understands Mr Edwards, who was working with a team he had gathered to carry out his own search, did not see the jaw bone at the site but noticed it when analysing photographs taken during the dig. None of his team actually saw the apparent jaw bone in the soil - only on a photograph.
