The Barrels in Bear Brook: Four Bodies, Forty Years, One Name

Show Notes

In 1985, a hunter discovered a barrel in New Hampshire's Bear Brook State Park containing the remains of a woman and child. Fifteen years later, two more barrels appeared nearby with two more children. It took until 2017 to identify the killer—a drifter named Terry Rasmussen. In September 2025, the final child was finally named: Rea Rasmussen. His own daughter. But her mother has never been found.
