No human remains have yet been found in the latest moorland search for Keith Bennett, Greater Manchester Police (GMP) have confirmed. Police began searching an area of moorland near to Dove Stone Reservoir following an informant reporting that discoveries interpreted by experts to be bones had been located.
'No physical evidence of a jaw bone or skull has been examined', say officers. In a new statement, the force has said that the search will be continuing, however.
Author Russell Edwards brought together a team of experts in a bid to find where Moors Murderer victim Keith was buried. He then passed information to GMP this week.

GMP Force Review Officer Cheryl Hughes said: “Following information received which indicated that potential human remains had been found on the Moors, specialist officers have today (1 October 2022) resumed excavation of a site identified to us.
“This information included photographs of the site and show what experts working with the informant have interpreted as a human jaw bone. No physical evidence of a jaw bone or skull has been examined.
“However, based on the photographs and information provided, and in line with GMP’s usual practice to follow-up any suggestion of human burial, we began our search of the site of interest.
“We have not found any identifiable human remains but our work to excavate the site is continuing.
“Conditions are difficult and it may take us some time to fully complete the excavation but we are committed to ensuring this is undertaken in the most thorough way possible."
