Bennett's final resting place remains a subject of mystery. The 12-year-old was abducted and murdered by Brady and Hindley in 1964 and is the only one of the five young victims whose body has never been traced, despite police accompanying Brady on two unsuccessful trips to the moors in the 1980s in an effort to discover the remains.Bennett's final resting place remains a subject of mystery.
