Gordon R Posted September 30, 2022 Report Share Posted September 30, 2022 Just read the article on his obsessive search for Keith Bennett. It comes too late for Keith's mother, but some sort of closure for his brother. I take my hat off to Mr Edwards.

I don't think there will be much update until DNA results come through. These murders happened long before I was born but I've always thought it such a shame that this boy was never found. Kind of drew parallels to "the disappeared" that we have in northern ireland Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon R Posted October 3, 2022 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2022 Very odd report from the Police. Quote Ms Hughes said GMP would conduct the search 'in the most thorough way possible' and confirmed that no physical evidence of a skull or jaw bone had been examined. The Manchester Evening News understands it will take a week to a fortnight to establish whether any remains discovered are those of Keith. Have they examined or intend to examine what was photographed? If it isn't human remains, what is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westward Posted October 3, 2022 Report Share Posted October 3, 2022 53 minutes ago, ditchman said: is it.................bizarre ...how interesting He wrote a book naming one Aaron Kosminski on the basis of traces of partial DNA found on a shawl worn by murder victim Catherine Eddowes. His logic was pretty shaky since the shawl had been taken away by the police and handled by many people. Kosminski might have handled the shawl at some point or the police who questioned him several times could have contaminated the shawl with his DNA.

If there’s a jaw bone there’ll be an *** close by - probably be someone who made a couple of ‘killings’ of his own by writing stories.

old'un Posted October 4, 2022 Report Share Posted October 4, 2022 It gets more bizarre, this was taken from an interview with Russell a few days ago. Speaking, Russell said: “We were looking for elements in the summer that shouldn’t be there and on that assessment, we got calcium, phosphorus and magnesium, so evidence of skeletal remains. It was me that actually found that spot through seven years of relentless work. On the day we found what looked like material, hair, and tissue, that’s what’s left in the body outside of the skeleton and we took a sample of that and gave it to the police.” Russell went on to explain that an archaeologist confirmed that the teeth discovered in the jaw bone matched someone who was of similar age to Keith as it only had one molar. If I remember I think there was some mention of a skull in another news report. The other odd thing is Russell and his team where doing their search in the summer when they made their discovery, why did they not call the police on the day they found the jaw bone? I know I would. Well today the police are saying there is still no evidence of human remains at the site pointed out by Russell. It does seem unbelievable that he would make such a story up but so far there is little evidence to back his story up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
