Volunteers have begun searching for the body of a 12-year-old boy killed by Moors Murderers Ian Brady and Myra Hindley.
The mother of Keith Bennett, who disappeared in 1964, says she believes the discovery of his body would be a deathblow for 72-year-old Brady.
Winnie Johnson, 76, said earlier this month: 'I'm Keith's mother... he's there on the Moors, I want him back. That's all I want out of life now because I want him found before I die, and before Brady dies, and that will kill Brady.
'He knows where he is, he admitted it and that's how I knew I would never find him alive again. I want the closure, yes, and I want him buried before anything happens to me.
'But I also want him buried knowing Brady's alive when they do it, because it's getting on his goat now.'
After police abandoned the official search last year, hundreds of people donated to the cost of a volunteer team.
The new search is being led by David Jones, director of the International Rescue Training Centre in Wales.
His team started on Saddleworth Moor on the Lancashire-Yorkshire border on Saturday and continued at a new area near the village of Greenfield yesterday.
Brady and Myra Hindley were jailed for life in 1966 over the killings of three youngsters.
In 1987 they admitted also murdering Keith and Pauline Reade, 16, who disappeared in 1963. Both killers were taken to Saddleworth Moor, but only Pauline's body was found.
