The epilogue also reveals that in 1986 Brady and Hindley confessed to the murders of Pauline Reade and Keith Bennett. They were taken to Saddleworth Moor separately to help locate the bodies. Reade's body was found and buried in a proper grave, but Bennett's body was not. The drama ends with a tribute to the young victims.
