A week-long search for Moors Murders victim Keith Bennett was "not a waste of time" - despite it ending without any remains being found - a senior police officer has claimed.
Officers began excavating an area of Saddleworth Moor, near to Dovestone Reservoir, last Friday after an author and amateur sleuth claimed to have found a human jaw bone.
Speaking at a press conference today, officers from Greater Manchester Police announced that the search had now been stood down.
