Martin BruntHOST
But I thought it was quite an important part of the archive of the history of the Moores murders.

Jean RitchieGUEST
And had she done that at the first trial, her trial, she probably would have been maybe out after about a certain length of time for being his accomplice, which she certainly was.

Jean RitchieGUEST
And I still say that when you fall in love with somebody the first time when you're a teenager and you're very young, you might end up standing on a wet touchline watching him play football when you'd rather be at home.

Helen FosperoHOST
What did Peter Topping make of the help and the willingness, seemingly willingness to confess and help that Hindley gave him? And where did that lead in terms of what happened to her then in prison, whether parole was on the horizon? She died.

What happened to Rachel when she was grabbed back in, I think it was February the fourth, nineteen ninety, wasn't it?

Jean RitchieGUEST
If you remember, Michelle had predicted he will strike again, and he did strike again, Russell Bishop, because this young girl who had recently moved to this part- the estate in, in Brighton, where he also lived with his girlfriend and children, she had gone with her f- uh, she had been given some money by her father to go and buy some sweets.

Helen FosperoHOST
And so when it finally got to Lewis Crown Court and he was accused of their murders, what were the weak points, do you think, Jean, in the prosecution's case?

Jean RitchieGUEST
Because there were sightings of him after that time, and actually sightings of the girl, it confused the whole case very seriously.

Jean RitchieGUEST
The time thing, which for some reason the prosecution stuck to, they didn't broaden it, they stuck to that time.
