Hindley Confession to Hitchhiker Strangling

Myra Hindley admitted to jailmate Linda Calvey that she and Brady had assaulted and strangled a teenage hitchhiker, apparently not one of the five listed in the article. Calvey said that when she asked Hindley why this was not mentioned with the other murders, Hindley said; "Would you declare somebody nobody had ever mentioned?"
