The bodies of four of their victims were found buried on Saddleworth Moor in the south Pennines, but Keith's remains have never been found.Brady and Hindley's other victims were Pauline Reade, 16, who disappeared on her way to a disco on 12 July 1963; John Kilbride, 12, who was snatched in November the same year; Lesley Ann Downey, 10, who was lured away from a funfair on Boxing Day 1964; and Edward Evans, 17, who was axed to death in October 1965.
The former hospital worker and mother of nine died of bowel cancer in 2012 without knowing what had happened to him. Mrs Johnson, who was a single mother, made a final plea to Brady in the weeks before her death to tell her where her son's body was.Speaking after her death, her friend Pam Ayres said:"She never gave up, I expect to her dying breath she wouldn't have given up. Certainly, with every bit of her spirit and her will, she wouldn't rescind that power to those people who took him.
"Naturally, the family are hoping that Keith has been found after all these years and their tireless efforts to find closure. "I understand Greater Manchester Police are investigating a site of interest but that it will take some weeks to establish whether there is a connection with Keith."
