     The music was taken from the 1962 album by Ray Conniff and the Ray Conniff Singers,
We Wish You a Merry Christmas
. Brady made two recordings of the original tape. Three issues remain unclear: why Lesley Ann had given her surname incorrectly (although that can be explained by the little girl’s terror); why she called her abusers ‘mum’ and ‘dad’ – whether that had been at their instigation; and the truth behind Brady’s slip in the witness box, when he said that after the photographs were taken ‘we all got dressed and went downstairs’. Under cross-examination, Brady refused to admit he had said it. But if it was a genuine slip of the tongue, it calls into question Hindley’s version of events following the photographs being made.

6.
     Lesley is alone in the photographs. Topping asked Hindley if there were other photographs – featuring her or Brady or both of them with the little girl – but Hindley insisted there were none.

   Hindley could not recall what happened to the bloodstained sheet, but Hattersley was a smokeless zone so it could not have been burnt at home. Nonetheless, it wasn’t found with Lesley’s body when she was discovered a year later.

   Ibid. Hindley later refuted Maureen’s accusation. She told Peter Topping that she and Maureen had discussed the matter years after the trial and that Maureen had told her she must have confused the facts. Topping was unable to verify her claim; Maureen had died five years before.

When Topping asked if she ever suspected Brady was homosexual, Hindley replied that she used to wonder what he did all night with Dave. Otherwise, she felt that when Brady wasn’t with her he was probably with other women. But when Topping questioned Brady himself, Brady admitted with his head bowed that he was bisexual. It was probably men, not women, that he was interested in when he went out alone without her.
