The Moors Murders: A Twisted “Ride or Die” Love Story

In the early ‘60s, two kids in their late teens fell madly in love with each other. When Myra Hindley was 18, she met 19-year-old Brady, and her life was changed forever. Unfortunately, this isn’t one of those fairytales that ends with true love’s kiss. It was more like the kiss of death. These two weren’t just lovers; they were partners in crime.

These cold-blooded criminals weren’t messing around. This wasn’t burglary or some of that Bonnie and Clyde baby stuff. Money wasn’t their motive; in fact, they didn’t seem to have a motive. They just lured kids into their home and tortured them for the thrill of it. It was far too late for a knight in shining armor to swoop in and save the day; Myra was in too deep. She stood by her man and helped him commit these vile crimes against young kids. Instead of happily ever after, this tragic story ends with the death of five innocent children.
