On June 16, 1964 Keith was snatched from the street by Ian Brady and Myra Hindley becoming one of five victims of the evil Moors Murderers
Winnie Johnson never gave up searching for her son. Tragically she went to her grave without ever discovering the truth.
In 1966 Brady and Hindley were found guilty of torturing and killing John Kilbride, 12, Lesley Ann Downey, 10, and Edward Evans, 17. Almost 20 years later Brady admitted in an interview with a journalist that he had also killed Keith and Pauline Reade, 16. "I blamed myself of course even though everyone told me it wasn't my fault," she said. Winnie turned her home in Fallowfield, into a shrine to her spectacle-wearing little boy.
On Hindley's death in 2002, Winnie said 'I have no sympathy for her, even in death', and reiterated her determination to find her son's body.A worshipper at St Chrysostom’s Church, Victoria Park, Winnie had planned for Keith’s funeral should his body ever be recovered. Her dream was for his coffin to be pulled in a glass horse-drawn hearse and his grave to be covered to in roses.
