so sad to hear of winnies death
may she find the peace she never found in life
at least she is now reunited with her son

two angels together x :-(

It's a curious thing though. Why was she taking part in a documentary . If she had a letter and thought it was her obligation as his advocate to keep it quiet until he died what the heck was with the publicity. I can't imagine the documentary makers plucked the idea from the sky so why then deny it to the police. I am sure lyn as you say many normal people become advocates or work with these people but I am just as sure the job attracts folk that do have "issues" to put it kindly just as paedophiles put themselves in a position to work with children .narcissists find there way in to the army or police force. Etc. you can't avoid it unfortunately.

its still being shown, and its her wording on it that promted the police search, she is now saying the programme miss quoted her, but monday night you will see exactly what she did say,

I would imagine that if there is still an ongoing police search for the letter by the time the documentary is due, it will be postponed...if the advocate is then found to be lying it won't be shown at all... ? or edited to exclude her part in it anyway.

I agrede - if there is a programme on Monday night there is bound to be "story" in order to give publicity/highlight for the programme.

thats how they found out about the letter because f the documentry,

of what she said on it,

Call me a cynic but I don't think it's coincidence that there's a documentary about him on on Monday night.

Excellent publicity for the programme, eh?

I'm usually a supreme optimist about most things but not with this - it's just one more of his sick games - if he really wants to die my son says he will happily do it whenever he likes - and I'm sure there are plenty of others who would be happy to polish him off - when I think what it must have cost this country to keep the scum alive - Hindley too - it makes me very angry

i hope tht whats written is true and winnie is finally going to get to put her son to rest, before its too late for her,

i cant eve begin to imagine what she has gone thro all these years :-( :-( :-(

Weather it be media speculation or the truth, I wouldnt be suprise if such a letter exists, Brady the spinless creep is nothing more than a control freak, he should of told Winnie Johnson years ago if he knows were Keiths body is buried why wait to tell when he is dead for the big reveal, something if one of the only things he has control over.

it should have been kept under wraps until there was something concrete to report

Keith's poor Mum has had enough - for most of her life she has been searching for Keith - heartbreaking and so cruel

This news is being kept from Keith's Mother according to her solicitor and I hope it stays that way. The woman is too ill to endure more false hope (if that it is was this turns out to be).

Lynda the family were made aware before the news broke publicly apparently,

"Her arrest was prompted by the police receiving information on 30 July from documentary-makers who had interviewed her as part of a programme about Brady that will be aired on Channel 4 on Monday night."

Presumably the documentary makers have what she said on tape or video so that she 'said' there was a letter, is probably proven...whether there is or not remains to be seen.

I don't think it is 'odd' or that people are 'odd' for working within the criminal justice system, it must be very interesting...it does appear though that she 'may' have operated outside of her remit.. that too remains to be seen.

Well said Lynda . ..

I can,t see that as being "Odd" Lynda,It gives you a good insight as to what makes people like that tick,and could help in futire investigations.**M**.

I only wish that before these stories "break" the press know what they are talking about.
At the moment, the bits I have heard/read are, Brady MAY of said or written something to the woman, she MAY of kept it to herself. Must be awful for the family to hear all this, although they probably know the full facts from the Police. All the speculation as to if/ why/what/where is of no use to anyone, the story should come out whenever they are FACTS.

As for the woman being odd for working with Brady for so long, I've worked with rapists, murderers, paedophiles, I'm not odd or sick, or want fame, it was a job I did, and I switched off as soon as I walked out of the door, I've always been interested in crime, so I worked with it, without doing any any myself. I know there are odd, weird, sick, mental, nasty evil people, but know I'm not one of them, but working with them, if you have the right attitude, gives you a view on the world from all different perspectives, I found it very interesting, maybe that makes me odd to others, but it doesn't to those who know me :-D

We have enough of those on "Big Brother" don,t you think? :-D

sky news are now using the correct title of mental health advocate

Or ...... WMS........wannabe moderators .. lol

I believe (I may be wrong) that it is only Solicitors, Doctors and Priests who are oblidged to keep secrets till death. also ,They could have used "Skalpoline" to get the details out of him,But that would be against the Law and his Human(If he could be called that) rights.**M**.
