You look at DNA profiling in its heyday.
I mean, when we recovered Pauline Reed in 1986, 1987, I think,
It was in the earliest days of DNA profiling and we couldn't get a profile.
We had to rely on clothing and deposition and obviously confessions and admissions to satisfy everybody that that was Pauline Reed we'd recovered.
Yeah.
We hadn't got dental records, albeit we tried DNA, which was the first, really, I think probably the first in Greater Manchester, which still is a big force.
It's about the third largest in England and Wales.
It wouldn't work.
And throws at the complication of contamination, of course.
I think we must say before we go, you know, please do make sure you...
dish out at the end of this the contact details for the commission so if anybody has any information whatsoever about any of the outstanding cases they can get in touch with the commission and rest assured that will be in total confidence we have a recorded
uh system there so you can ring the the anonymous number and either do it yourself or get somebody else to do it anybody in the commission i keep on saying we because i'm but i am retired now um yeah we'd be delighted to hear from anybody who can help in any shape size and form you know there are families at the end of this and they want their loved ones back rightly so absolutely thank you again thank you
Yeah, sure.
My name's Geoff Nutfer.
I was a police officer in Greater Manchester area and also worked in London and elsewhere.
Really, the reason I'm here today is because I got involved in reinvestigating the Moors murders in the 1980s.
Brady and Hindley committed these appalling murders with young children, the victims were young children, in the 1960s and they were both sentenced to life imprisonment.
The case was reopened in the 1980s because there were two missing children still unaccounted for.
In 2004 I got a call from the Department of Justice in Dublin asking if I'd come over and talk to them about the Commission for the Disappeared.
I was aware of it but I didn't know a great deal about it.
