The Bear Brook Murders
Manage episode 349412426 series 3425174
On November 10, 1985, a hunter stumbled upon a 55 gallon barrel that contained the skeletal remains of a woman and a young girl. The remains were buried in the town cemetery. Their tombstone read "Here lies the mortal remains known only to God of a woman aged 23-33 and a girl child aged 8-10. Their slain bodies were found on November 10th, 1985, in Bear Brook State Park. May their souls find peace in God’s loving care". The small community of Allenstown, New Hampshire would never be the same. 15 years later, in May 2000, a second barrel was found with the skeletal remains of two young girls. Local police determined the victims in both barrels were killed by the same person(s). In 2014, three of the remains were linked together by DNA. In 2019, the identities of the three were released: Marlyse Elizabeth Honeychurch (24), Marie Elizabeth Vaughn (7), and Sarah Lynn McWaters (11 months). Honeychurch was the mother of Marie and Sarah. The suspect remained unknown for a long time until 2017, when it was determined that Terry Peder Rasmussen was the suspect. Rasmussen died in prison while serving a life sentence in 2010.
