See No Evil: The Moors Murders Page #3

- Go on.

- I don't want to.

Go on.

Danny, do as you're told.

Thank you.

I'm sorry about this, Mrs Kilbride,

but I need you to go over the events

of the day John disappeared, again, please.

He'd gone to the pictures, with a pal.

Afterwards, they went down the market.

John often did.

You know, to earn a few bob,

carrying stuff for folk.

Clearing up.

Eventually, John's pal went home.

This would be about what time?

Half five.

It was dark.

Fog coming down.

John was stood by the bins.

That's the last time anyone

remembers seeing him.

It's not as if I hadn't drummed it

into all of them.

If a strange man ever offers you sweets

and says, "Come with me",

you don't, you run away home.

You run away home.

What's going on?

Who are you?

- He's a policeman, Pat.

- DCI Mounsey.

What do you mean by coming round here,

upsetting her?

That wasn't my intention.

- That's all you lot have done.

- Pat, don't start.

All that fuss for a few weeks.

Searching the town, searching this house.

Accusing me of doing away with him.

And then nothing.

You think he's dead,

so there's no point looking, don't you?

I'm aware that

this must be very distressing for you.

We don't want your sympathy.

We just want our lad back.

What do you think happened to John Kilbride?

DCI Downs turned the town upside down.

He searched every garage,

shed, river, pond, canal.

I know. I know.

I'm asking what you think happened to him.

He was last seen at Ashton market.

You spend a lot of time there.

Chasing people

who steal handbags and wallets, sir.

Not children.

So, you think John was abducted?

He was a happy lad, by all accounts.

I can't see him running away.

You discount the theory

the father was involved?

Well, I know fathers

are always the first suspects.

- Yes?

- But I've met him.

I can't see it. Can you?

No, I can't.

You and I are going to give this case

a boot up the backside.

Christ knows when we're going to find

the time, but we will.

John Kilbride went missing

on the 23rd November last year.

Danny?

Now that is the day after

President Kennedy was assassinated.

Everybody remembers

where they were that day.

All we want people to do is think back.

Did you go to Ashton the next day?

And, if you did, did you come to this market?

Did you see this boy?

Or did you see anyone watching children

or in any other way acting suspiciously?

And if you did, please contact Ashton Police.

Does Danny look a lot like John?

The thing is...

I mean, Danny looks frightened now,

but our John, you never saw him

without a smile on his face.

Danny, over here, mate.

Good lad, Danny.

Another one, Danny. One more time.
