Podcasts about Saddleworth Moor

On Friday, December 11, 2015, at 9:04 a.m., a man started a train journey at Ealing Broadway Station in west London, England.  At 9:50 a.m., he arrived at Euston station to book an over two-hour trip to Manchester.  The next day, at 10:47 a.m., his body was discovered by a cyclist close to the Chew Track near Saddleworth Moor in the Peak District National Park.  The man was 6 feet 1 inch tall, white, of slim build, and had receding grey hair and blue eyes and determined to be between 60 and 70 years of age.  However, this description was the only identifying factor initially discovered about him.  He had no ID, wallet, phone, or keys, nothing to tell who this man was.  He was dressed nicely but inappropriately for a hike in such inclement weather.  The only item found on his person was a container of Pakistani origin labeled for thyroid medication but which now contained strychnine.  This was the poison that led to his death.  The cyclist also found the man in an odd position; his arms crossed over his chest and next to the trail as if peacefully napping.  This was another puzzling clue, as victims of strychnine poisoning are usually writhing in agony before their horrible demise.  The pathology technicians who examined the body gave the unfortunate stranger the name of "Neil Dovestone" after the Dovestone reservoir near his resting place.  So, who was "Neil Dovestone," and why did he travel such a long distance to this particular spot for a careless hike, or was it for a darker purpose?  Who removed his identifying items, and did he take his own life or fall victim to murder?  Join us for part one of our investigation into The Body on the Moor.

The Big Mystery Of Saddleworth Moor: Who Exactly Was 'Neil Dovestone'?David Lytton, formerly known as David Keith Lautenberg and after the discovery of his body by the placeholder name Neil Dovestone, was a previously unidentified British man found dead on Saddleworth Moor, in the South Pennines of Northern England on 12 December 2015.

David Smith was married to Maureen Hindley, sister of Myra. On one night when Myra asked him to walk her home, he could never have imagined the scene of utter horror he would see at a normal house on the outskirts on Manchester. David Smith later described Saddleworth Moor – the scene of such horror – as: ‘Hell's garden, an abyss where devils play and souls can never rest. I hate the place with a passion'. https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/lives-moors-murderers-ian-brady-27344702 https://www.amazon.co.uk/Evil-Relations-formerly-published-Witness/dp/1780575394 https://www.galwaybeo.ie/news/galway-news/moorsmurders-davidsmith-channel4documentary-thewitness-story-6697033 https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/lives-moors-murderers-ian-brady-27344702 https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/greater-manchester-news/david-smith-who-stopped-killing-687975 https://en-academic.com/dic.nsf/enwiki/2564850

1964 is a year without the single, big-impact story of other years. The assassination of President Kennedy is still a fresh, raw memory as Americans go to the polls later in the year. Political change is coming to the UK also with a general election on the horizon. Children are going missing in the Manchester area, close to Saddleworth Moor. That's a story that gets very little attention in '64 but, while nobody know Brady and Hindley yet, they're names that make headlines later and will remain in infamy to the present day. Having conquered England, four mop-tops from Liverpool lead British bands charge across the Atlantic. It's tempting to say they're “top of the pops” but that's a phrase given to us early by the gift-giving year that is 1964.

Hello :) This is the recording of the eighth edition of my semi-regular Twitter Space sessions. Today's episode was all about hiking, but specifically the Hike Across Great Britain I did with my hiking buddy Becky, in the summer of 2019. We're chattering about why I chose to do a hike of such length, how we planned it, the high and low points of the journey, and ponder on how people willingly do ultramarathons. Usual disclaimer, be aware this conversation took place over the phone and is then recorded directly from playback on Twitter. I notice there's a few biffs and bangs in the first few minutes but they settle down. Also a shout out to Somebody, and You Know Who You Are (because there are very few people who do call me, and one of them I was already on Twitter Spaces with), who tried calling me at the very end of the recording. When this happens it causes my audio quality to drop considerably for reasons known only to Android. Topics discussed include: * Catchphrases * Whatever happened to the Word Cloud Creation site 'Wordle' * Overview of what my hike was * How it took 57 days and why that was fewer than we'd planned * Places where we camped en route * Why I didn't do the hike alone, and how our styles fitted together * The Singing Sands beach in Scotland * Things That Went Wrong when I prepared for the Hike * Taking footpaths not roads, and sometimes getting stuck * Comparisons with hiking in Vanuatu * British Summer Weather, and all that entails * What we were carrying in our backpacks * We've been hiking 9 miles, time for lunch and recharging * Food, and why I lost weight on the hike despite the calories * Why I only hiked barefoot for a quarter of the journey * Things That Went Wrong (including injuries, broken windows, and getting lost) * Saddleworth Moor is very bleak and remote * Mental Health and how we motivated ourselves to keep going * The best days of the hike (North Pennines and the end of the Pennine Way) * Why I wouldn't have done anything much differently * How it felt to complete the Hike, and what we did afterwards * Why we did the Hike and what other challenges would I do * Why pubs are useful places * Ultramarathons * Raising money for charity * The next Spaces will be Hometown Travel I was interviewed by the lovely Victoria, but you can call her V.

In the second episode of Season 5 of True Crime Horror Story, your host JD Horror brings you tales of Killer Couples in part 7 of our series on Sexual Sadists.Love is one of the most exhilarating, confusing and emotionally charged sensations that a person could ever experience. The magnetic pull between two people is something man has been trying to encapsulate in poems, books, painting and songs since the beginning of time and frankly, about the ways of love we truly are none the wiser. What we do know mostly through hind sight is that every now and then two souls filled with the same lethal dosage of emotional disfunction, erotic desire and deviant outlet for raging endorphins will collide and quickly a fantastic fairy-tale can morph into a true crime horror story.Case #1: The Ken and Barbie Killers - Paul Bernado was a sadistic pervert known as the Scarborough Rapist, but when he met Karla Homolka his twisted desires morphed from rape into murder and she would support him every step of the way, starting with her own little sister. (P. Bernado & K. Homolka, Canada).Case #2: Death on the Moors - When Ian Brady met Myra Hindley, he knew he could manipulate her to be his accomplice in a series of brutal rapes and murders of children on England's Saddleworth Moor. But how many bodies really are buried out there in the Moor? (I. Brady & M. Hindley, England)If you like what you hear here on True Crime Horror Story please subscribe and give us a 5 star review.

Saddleworth Moor é uma rica mistura de vales extensos, colinas e planaltos, com formações rochosas. O solo é pobre e apenas a vegetação mais resistente sobrevive. Esse local fica a 300 metros acima do nível do mar, então existe uma neblina matinal muito densa, que parece mais um filme de terror. A misteriosa quietude e silêncio são ensurdecedores. Sua imensidão é assustadora e fascinante. No entanto, na década de 1960, os mouros chamaram a atenção do mundo de uma maneira muito diferente e assustadora. Eles se tornaram o cenário de alguns dos crimes mais notórios e sádicos já cometidos na Grã-Bretanha; os infames Assassinatos dos Mouros, ou The Moor Murders.

In the early 1960s, mysterious child abductions and murders were making headlines. Between July 1963 and October 1965, five children and teenagers were horribly raped and mutilated and their remains buried on Saddleworth Moor. The long investigation led by the Manchester Police Department will gradually shed light on two immoral and demonic personalities: Myra Hindley is a charming blonde, and her partner, Ian Brady! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

It's Boxing Day, 1964, when a 26-year-old man named Ian Brady, and a 22-year-old woman named Myra Hindley, attend a fair in Ancoats, an area in Manchester, North West England.  The pair had met three years prior when Myra had developed an infatuation with Ian. Finally, Ian showed interest and asked her to the movies. They have been inseparable ever since, although their relationship is anything but conventional.  While at the fair, the couple notice that a ten-year-old named Lesley Ann Downey appears to be alone. In an instant, she becomes their next target.  The young couple approach her, purposefully dropping the shopping they're carrying. Ian and Myra know that the presence of a woman means a child is more likely to trust them. This is part of their strategy.  And so, they ask Lesley if she wouldn't mind helping them carry their packages to their car, and then on to their home on Wardle Brook Avenue.  When they arrive, Lesley Ann Downey is raped and then murdered.  She is not Ian and Myra's first victim. And she will not be their last.  The following morning, as Lesley Ann's family frantically search for their missing daughter, the pair bury her in a shallow grave at Saddleworth Moor, a wide open expanse of hills and uncultivated land. Her clothes are buried by her feet.  The crimes committed by Myra Hindley and Ian Brady would come to be known as the Moors murder, a series of killings that targeted children, four of whom were sexually assaulted.  Myra Hindley has long been branded the “most evil woman in Britain” - the exception to everything we think we know about female killers.

We're sharing a different kind of episode with everyone this week. This episode was originally a £10+ Patreon episode with a new format and we wanted more people to hear it and let us know what they thought! Kat's going to tell us the mysterious story of a man whose body was found on Saddleworth Moor on December 12, 2015 with nothing other than some cash and a pill box that had contained Strychnine. The 13-month investigation to identify this man would take investigators to Pakistan and open up a Pandora's box of questions as to who this man was and how he came to die alone in winter in rural England.

Show Notes:The murders were carried out by Ian Brady and Myra Hindley between 1963 & 1965, in and around Manchester, England.The victims were five children—Pauline Reade, John Kilbride, Keith Bennett, Lesley Ann Downey & Edward Evans—aged between 10 and 17At least four of whom were sexually assaulted. Two of the victims were discovered in graves dug on Saddleworth Moor; a third grave was discovered there in 1987, more than twenty years after Brady and Hindley's trial. Bennett's body is also thought to be buried there, despite repeated searches it remains undiscovered.They were charged only in the deaths of Kilbride, Downey and Evans, receiving life sentences. The investigation was reopened in 1985 after Brady was reported as having confessed to the murders of Reade and Bennett. After confessing to these additional murders, Brady and Hindley were taken separately to Saddleworth Moor to assist in the search for the graves.Hindley made several appeals against her life sentence, claiming she was a reformed woman and no longer a danger to society, but was never released. She died in 2002, aged 60, after serving 36 years in prison. Brady was diagnosed as a psychopath in 1985 & held in the high-security Ashworth Hospital. He made it clear that he never wished to be released, & repeatedly asked to be allowed to die. This wish was not granted & he was force fed, when he took part in hunger strikes.He died in 2017, at Ashworth, aged 79. The trial judge, Mr Justice Fenton Atkinson, described Brady & Hindley in his closing remarks as "two sadistic killers of the utmost depravity".

Ian Brady and Myra Hindley kidnapped, tortured, and murdered five children, burying at least four of the bodies on Saddleworth Moor, over a three year period during the 1960s in Manchester, England. They were finally stopped when Hindley’s brother-in-law, David Smith, reported their fifth murder to police because he had been forced to watch and assist in covering up the crime scene. Both Brady and Hindley were convicted of murder and sentenced to life in prison, callously taking the location of their third victim’s remains, Keith Bennett, to the grave when they passed away behind bars. The BBC called the Moors Murders as well as Brady and Hindley “British society’s benchmark for evil.”Join me on social media by following Mask of Sanity on Instagram (@maskofsanitythepodcast) and Twitter (@masksanitypod) for more updates on upcoming episodes!

Nous sommes au début des années 60, dans une cité ouvrière de la périphérie de Manchester. Ici vit la working class, la main d’œuvre immigrée des quatre coins de l’Angleterre.Dans ce contexte socio-économique trouble, de mystérieux enlèvements et meurtres d’enfants viennent défrayer la chronique. Entre juillet 1963 et octobre 1965, cinq enfants et adolescents sont violés atrocement mutilés, et leurs restes enterrées à Saddleworth Moor.La longue enquête menée par la police départementale de Manchester va progressivement mettre la en lumière sur deux personnalités immorales et démoniaques : Myra Hindley est une charmante blonde, et son compagnon, Ian Brady !

This week we’re talking about a case that easily everyone in the UK (and many worldwide also) have known about since they were young. Just a warning, it’s not a case for the lighthearted, we do talk about murder, rape, assault of children. So just a heads up, this might not be for you. The Moors murders were carried out by Ian Brady and Myra Hindley between July 1963 and October 1965, in and around Manchester, England. The victims were five children—Pauline Reade, John Kilbride, Keith Bennett, Lesley Ann Downey and Edward Evans—aged between 10 and 17, at least four of whom were sexually assaulted. Two of the victims were discovered in graves dug on Saddleworth Moor; a third grave was discovered there in 1987, more than twenty years after Brady and Hindley's trial. Bennett's body is also thought to be buried there, but despite repeated searches, it remains undiscovered. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

“I used to ask him why he kept strangling me so much, and he told me he was “practicing” on me” In Ep2 we discuss the Moors murders carried out by Ian Brady and Myra Hindley between July 1963 and October 1965, in and around Manchester, England. The victims were five children—Pauline Reade, John Kilbride, Keith Bennett, Lesley Ann Downey and Edward Evans—aged between 10 and 17, several of the victims were discovered in graves dug on Saddleworth Moor; one in 1987; more than twenty years after Brady and Hindley's conviction

In the 1960s, Ian Brady and his girlfriend, Myra Hindley, sexually abused and murdered young children and teens, then buried their bodies along the Saddleworth Moor, in what became known as the Moors Murders. Farmer Victor McCaskell returned from a day on his land to find his wife and baby daughter axed to death and his young farm hand hanged on the verandah, in what looked like a murder-suicide. But McCaskell himself came under suspicion, before putting a stick of dynamite in his mouth and blowing himself up.

Welcome to this week's edition of the podcast, where myself and BIGGA's membership services manager for the Northern region, Sandra Raper, took a drive up on to Saddleworth Moor to visit the greenkeeping team in this infamous corner of the Peak District.   They're a great bunch of guys and it was really interesting to sit and find out about the ways they manage the course. Funnily enough though, it was actually more interesting to learn about the team themselves. Which of them has considered bumping off his parents for their inheritance and which one recently sold antique dolls on an episode of Dickenson's Real Deal?   What's clear is that they're a team that gets on really well and when your course is relatively isolated, that can mean the world.    So David Roberts is course manager and he was joined on the podcast by greenkeepers Peter Buckley, Chris Hyde and Jake Standon.

The wildfires on Saddleworth Moor may well be the most widespread in modern British history. Thanks to herculean efforts by Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service and the military, they are now extinguished, though the peat continues to smoulder. Now the longer term ecological impact is being assessed. Adam Rutherford talks to geochemist Chris Evans from the Centre for Hydrology and Ecology about what's been unleashed into the environment from the burning of the peat and lessons we've learnt in maintaining peatlands. Coral reefs are noisy places filled with the clicks, pops, chirps and chattering of numerous fish and crustaceans. But a new study conducted on Australia's Great Barrier Reef shows that this noise has been quietened in areas damaged by bleaching and cyclones. Marine biologist Tim Gordon of Exeter University has examined how the changing coral acoustics are impacting on fish communities and whether a "choral orchestra" could help reduce the decline in local reef systems. Adam Rutherford meets Magdalena Skipper, the new Editor-in-Chief of the journal Nature. It's a longstanding publication, founded in 1869 and is the cornerstone of scientific endeavour. But how will Nature evolve as the demands on research change and scientific publishing continues to undergo a revolution in the digital age? In order to go very far in space, future astronauts will need some means of creating their own air and fuel. Katharina Brinkert at California Institute of Technology has succeeded in harvesting hydrogen from water in microgravity - overcoming a huge hurdle in the weightlessness of space, that may one day lead to a way to acquire fuel during a long-distance, crewed space mission.

On 12 December 2015, a man's body was found by a moorland track on Saddleworth Moor in northern England. He had nothing on him showing his identity. No-one knew who he was. And he had died from a rare kind of poisoning. Who was this man? Where did he come from? Why has nobody reported him missing? Their biggest lead was brought to the mortuary within the body itself. It was inside his left leg. And it's a clue which took the inquiry to Pakistan. Police believe he took his own life but did he travel nearly 4000 miles to die in this particular place?
