Part Two

Police recover a suitcase full of incriminating evidence from a locker at Manchester Central Station, and quickly suspect that Edward Evans may not have been their only victim. Smith is soon taken in by police for questioning, as both Brady and Hindley have tried to shift the blame upon him, but the police soon determine that Smith did not take part in any murders. While questioning Brady and Hindley, the police read out the names of other missing children who have recently vanished in and around Manchester. To most of the names, Brady and Hindley respond "Never heard of him/her", with the exception of one: Pauline Reade, who had been Hindley's neighbour in Gorton. The evidence against the couple continues to mount; the most shocking comes in the form of pornographic photographs of a missing 10-year-old girl, Lesley Ann Downey, and a tape recording of the child's pleas for her life (these cries are not actually heard when the tape is played). The police find the bodies of both Lesley Ann Downey and John Kilbride buried in shallow graves on Saddleworth Moor. David Smith is questioned about the murders and Hindley and Brady try to convince the police that he was also involved, but he is soon released after no evidence is found to implicate him. On 21 April 1966, Brady and Hindley go on trial at Chester Crown Court, where they are greeted by a crowd of vigilantes. David Smith is the main prosecution witness, and Maureen, pregnant again, agrees to testify. During the trial, Lesley Ann Downey's mother, Ann West, and stepfather, Alan, barge into David and Maureen's apartment and attack them, believing that they were involved in Lesley Ann's murder. David and Maureen's unborn child is unharmed, while Mr. and Mrs. West are cautioned by the police. Brady and Hindley are convicted of the murders of Edward Evans and Lesley Ann Downey. Brady is also convicted of the murder of John Kilbride, and Hindley is found guilty for being an accessory to the murder. Br
