The Moors Murders Code

16th May 2017 - CODE OF THE KILLERS Moors Murderers Ian Brady and Myra Hindley’s twisted secret notes may reveal burial site of last missing victim’s body.

Hopes that lost remains of Kieth Bennett, 12, could be found with help of classified coded letters...

CODED letters between Moors Murderers Ian Brady and Myra Hindley may help find the last missing body of a victim.

The Sun on Sunday asked to view the notes written after the killers’ 1965 arrest under Freedom of Information laws — but were stopped by the Ministry of Justice.

Ian Brady has never revealed where he buried the body of Keith Bennett, 12.

Evil Myra Hindley would write in code to Brady.

Kieth Bennett's remains have never been found.

A spokesman said making them public could end hopes of one day finding the grave of Keith Bennett, 12.

He added: “The information in this file potentially still retains value in assisting police.

“Combined with new information, or reinterpreted, it could prove key in finally bringing this case to a conclusion.”

Leopold and Loeb The Perfect Crime Trial of the Century

The murder trial of Richard Loeb and Nathan Leopold that shocked the nation is best remembered decades later for the twelve-hour long plea of Clarence Darrow to save his clients from the gallows. His summation, rambling and disorganized as it was at times, stands as one of the most eloquent attacks on the death penalty ever delivered in an American courtroom. Mixing poetry and prose, science and emotion, a world-weary cynicism and a dedication to his cause, hatred of bloodlust and love of man, Darrow took his audience on an oratorical ride that would be unimaginable in a criminal trial today.... There would have been no arrests and no trial but for what the prosecutor called "the hand of God at work in this case." A pair of horn-rimmed tortoise shell glasses were discovered with the body of Bobby Franks. The glasses, belonging to Nathan Leopold, had slipped out of the jacket he removed as he struggled to hide the body. They had an unusual hinge and could be traced to a single Chicago optometrist, who had written only three such prescriptions, including the one to Leopold. When questioned about the glasses, Leopold said that he must have lost them on one of his frequent birding expeditions. He was asked by an investigator to demonstrate how the glasses might have fallen out of his pockets, but failed after a series of purposeful trips to dislodge the glasses from his coat. Questioning became more intense.

Leopold said that he spent the twenty-first of May picking up girls in his car with Loeb and driving out to Lincoln Park. Loeb, when questioned separately, confirmed Leopold's alibi. State's attorney Robert Crowe, heading the investigation, was skeptical. Among the items found in a search of the Leopold home was a letter written by Nathan strongly suggesting that he and Loeb had a homosexual relationship. Still, prosecutor's were on the verge of releasing the two suspects when two additional pieces of evidence surfaced. First, typewritten notes taken from a member of Leopold's law school study group were found to match the the type from the ransom note, despite the fact that an earlier search of the Leopold home turned up a typewriter with unmatching type. Then came a statement from the Leopold family chauffeur, made in the hope of establishing Nathan's innocence, that spelled his doom. He said he was certain that the Leopold car, the one the boys claimed they had spent the night driving around with girls, had not left the garage on the day of the murder.

Loeb confessed first, then Leopold. Their confessions differed only on the point of who did the actual killing, with each pointing the finger at the other. Leopold later pleaded with Loeb to admit to killing Franks but, according to Leopold, Loeb said, "Mompsie feels less terrible than she might, thinking you did it and I'm not going to take that shred of comfort away from her."

The Loeb and Leopold families hired Clarence Darrow and Benjamin Bachrach to represent the two boys. Nathan said his first impression of Darrow was one of "horror", unimpressed as he was by Darrow's unruly hair, rumpled jacket, egg-splattered shirt, suspenders, and askew tie. His opinion of Darrow would soon change. He later described his attorney as a great, simple, unaffected man, with a "deep-seated, all-embracing kindliness." In his book Life Plus Ninety-Nine Years, Leopold wrote that if asked to name the two men who "came closest to preaching the pure essence of love" he would say Jesus and Clarence Darrow.

It was Darrow's decision to change the boys' initial pleas to the charges of murder and kidnapping from "not guilty" (suggesting a traditional insanity defense) to "guilty." The decision was made primarily to prevent the state from getting two opportunities to get a death sentence. With "not guilty" pleas, the state had planned to try the boys first on one of the two charges, both of which carried the death penalty in Illinois, and if it failed to win a hanging on the first charge, try again on the second. The guilty plea also meant that the sentencing decision would be made by a judge, not by a jury. Darrow's decision to plead the boys guilty undoubtedly was based in part on his belief that the judge who would hear their case, John R. Caverly, was a "kindly and discerning" man. With the public seemingly unanimous in calling for death, Darrow did not want to face a jury. In his summation Darrow noted, "where responsibility is divided by twelve, it is easy to say ‘away with him'; but, your honor, if these boys are to hang, you must do it--...it must be by your cool, premeditated act, without a chance to shift responsibility."

The defense hoped to build its case against death around the testimony of four psychiatrists, called "alienists" at the time. The best talent psychiatric talent 1924 had to offer was sought out by both sides to examine the defendants.

Joel Rifkin Biography

A LOOK BACK: NECROPHILIAC SERIAL KILLER JOEL RIFKIN ARRESTED, CONFESSED TO KILLING 17 VICTIMS...

MINEOLA, LONG ISLAND — On June 28, 1993, Joel Rifkin, the unemployed landscaper who had killed 17 women and was driving around with one of their corpses in the back of his truck, was arrested.

State troopers, after noticing Rifkin’s vehicle didn’t have a license plate, pursued him on the Southern State Parkway in his 1984 Mazda pickup in what witnesses described as a “slow speed chase.” It ended when Rifkin crashed into a utility pole in Mineola, Long Island. When officers pulled back a blue vinyl tarp, they were horrified to find a body.

Rifkin immediately confessed to police that he killed the woman — and 16 others. Eventually, Rifkin would be described as the most prolific serial killer in the history of New York.

The woman found in his truck was Tiffany Bresciani, a prostitute who was also the girlfriend of punk band Reagan Youth‘s singer Dave “Insurgent” Rubenstein. Both Bresciani and Rubenstein struggled with heroin addiction, and Bresciani had been working the streets of the Lower East Side to support their habits. Soon after Bresciani was discovered to have been murdered by Rifkin, Rubenstein committed suicide.

Rifkin’s MO was picking up prostitutes for sex, and then killing his victims by suffocating or strangling them.

Rifkin was able to give the troopers detailed information on the victims. He discussed how he favored white, Latina, and Asian women, and how he got rid of the bodies by putting them in oil drums and dumping them in the Hudson and Harlem rivers. He also recalled dumping one woman’s body in a creek, and another in a town dump in Westchester.

When the cops were able to search Rifkin’s room at his mother’s house, they found numerous trophies such as underwear, jewelry, makeup, and wallets that could be connected to unsolved murders. In the garage they found a chain saw and other tools coated with human blood and flesh.

Rifkin came from a prominent family: He was the adopted son of the late, respected East Meadow school board vice president, Bernard Rifkin.

However he struggled academically, and was described a a shy child who believed that he was a disappointment to his very intelligent father. He was also bullied by his classmates and excluded from events due to his appearance and poor social skills, which led to him isolating himself even more. He reportedly immersed himself in reading about serial killers and watching films such as Alfred Hitchcock’s Frenzy, in which he could watch women being strangled.

Once in college, he gained some independence when his parents gifted him a car. He used it to troll Manhattan for prostitutes.

In March 1989, he made his first kill. After inviting a woman — later identified through DNA as Heidi Balch — back to his family home, Rifkin had sex with her, and then suffocated her. He then removed her teeth and, using an X-Acto knife, dismembered her body into six parts which he distributed in different areas throughout Long Island, New York City, and New Jersey.

After his detailed descriptions of his crimes, Rifkin’s guilt was never in doubt, but at trial, his lawyer claimed that he was legally insane. But the prosecution’s expert witness described the 34-year-old as a sadist and necrophiliac who even as a child was fascinated by strangulation.

Jurors voted unanimously on their first ballot that he was guilty of murder, agreeing that he did not meet the legal definition for insanity because he knew what he was doing when he strangled his victims, and knew it was wrong. Prosecutors claimed that Rifkin knew that he was a serial killer, and had studied books on police procedures so that he could attempt to outsmart police.

Rifkin was found guilty of nine counts of second degree murder in 1994 and sentenced to 203 years to life in prison. He is currently behind bars at the Clinton Correctional Facility in Dannemora, New York.

He has also been named as a suspect in the Gilgo Beach murders, attributed to “LISK,” or the Long Island Serial Killer. In an April 2011 prison interview with Newsday, Rifkin denied having anything to do with the Gilgo murders. But experts and victims’ rights advocates, however, say Rifkin’s statements have no value.
