Moors Murders Decoded: Unmasking the Evil of Hindley and Brady. You already know the names. You have seen the mugshots on a hundred front pages. You have probably argued about the case over a drink, or paused on a documentary one rainy Sunday afternoon and wondered how two ordinary people from a Manchester street could have done what they did.

These are stories of murderers and martyrs, forgers and fraudsters, con artists and outcasts — each revealing something about the city’s beating, human heart.

In 1975, Jimmy Odo was charged with the murder of fourteen-year-old Tony Cluett, who was found strung up crucifixion-style in Halifax’s Point Pleasant Park. Six years later, he was charged with bludgeoning to death Darlene Davidson, his former girlfriend’s five-year-old daughter. At trial in 1981, Odo testified that although he didn’t remember the killings, he had lied to avoid conviction for the Cluett murder. He also spoke of being part of a satanic cult while living in Montreal.
