Mystery in Allenstown, NH (aka the Bear Brook Cold Case)

We began this blog years ago to tell the story of a baffling New Hampshire mystery in the hopes of identifying four homicide victims found in barrels in Allenstown, NH. Over time, and in the most peculiar of ways, the story has unraveled bit by bit until we now have answers to many of our biggest questions. However, some pages of this story remain hidden in the shadows. It is our hope that the piercing light cast by genetic genealogists and tenacious investigators will reveal more in the coming months.  More media on this case For most people in New Hampshire, the story began in the fall of 1985 in the little town of Allenstown, population 4000ish and best known for being home to Bear Brook State Park.  It was there, on the outskirts of the park, that brothers out hunting discovered the remains of a woman and a girl wrapped in plastic near a 55 gallon barrel.

The bodies were found on private property where a small camp store with an apartment above it had once operated. Bear Brook Store had burned in July of 1983 but the shell of the building remained, along with a mobile home, a camper, and various vehicles, barrels, and appliances scattered across the property.

(Foundation of Bear Brook Store in 2000.) The 1985 barrel was found down the logging path pictured, around the bend, and off to the left.

Allenstown Police Chief Norm Connor and his small department were assisted by the state police in investigating the homicides. 

The hunter, himself the father of a young daughter, who spotted a foot sticking out of the plastic was so traumatized by his discovery that he said it took him ten years to go back into the woods.

As NH did not have its own Medical Examiner's office, the bodies were flown to Maine to be examined. These sketches were released in the media and authorities covered a lot of ground hoping to identify what was assumed to be a mother and daughter.

However, investigative efforts did not lead to answers and eventually, the two bodies were released for burial. Chief Connor organized a graveside service in the parish cemetery that was presided over by the town's Catholic priest and a Methodist minister.

They were buried together in a steel casket so that they could be exhumed easily if someone came forward to claim their bodies. The owner of Epsom Memorials donated a granite stone for their grave and carved a rose and figures of the woman and child holding hands. 

Over the years, while investigators followed the leads that came in, Allenstown residents experienced a deep unease around the questions that lingered. Who were those girls? Who could have bludgeoned and dismembered and discarded them like trash? 

 1974 photo shows the clearcutting that had been done on the property. Even by 1985, the forest was NOT heavily wooded around that well-traveled path.

Town officials wanted the Bear Brook Store property cleaned up and there was a Danger Notice attached to the 1997 tax record for map 407, Lot 023 that stated "Posted Unfit." The following year, an assessment card states "mobile home uninhabitable" and "vacant vandalized." It is chilling in hindsight to read the accompanying dump site report which lists: abandoned vehicle Chrysler 4 door sedan (rust), HTG appliance (illegible), enclosure falling down,  with wires and pipes, several 55 gallon drums some with trash in them, construction debris, old machines (axles, lawnmowers) strewn about, approx. 30 feet in from the road.

Fast forward fifteen years and 

State Police Sgt John Cody was assigned to the case. New Hampshire did not yet have a cold case unit and troopers were assigned old cases to work.

On May 9th of 2000 while examining the area, Cody located another barrel about 100 yards from where the first one was found, and discovered that it, too, contained human remains.

They were found to be the remains of two little girls. This led to the exhumation of the 1985 victims in order to have DNA comparisons done.

The testing had found that the woman was related biologically to the oldest child (who was found in the barrel with her) and to the 2-3 yr old girl found in 2000. Authorities came to believe that the four victims were killed at or near the same time in the late 1970s to early 1980s.

It seemed logical to wonder if a man with a child had perhaps gotten into a relationship with a woman with two children of her own and something had gone terribly wrong. That this was some kind of family annihilator situation. This scenario led to concerned speculation about the well-being of the unrelated child's mother. Why hadn't she reported her missing? Had she also been killed? Or had she lost custody of the child to the father and didn't realize her child was no longer among the living?

Back story on Oak Hill Research 

My brother, Scott Maxwell, and I (Ronda) grew up in New Hampshire about thirty miles from Allenstown. I didn't learn of this case until 2011 and was astonished that this macabre story with such baffling elements would have generated so little publicity over the decades. As a genealogist and someone who has done adoption searches for a couple of decades, I was intrigued by the fact that the identities of the victims were still unknown and decided to "do a little research." 

May 2011: Scott in the sandpit at the foot of the snowmobile trail on the first of many visits to Allenstown.

Scott and I made our first trip to the Allenstown property where the barrels were found Memorial Day weekend of 2011. At home after home in adjacent Bear Brook Gardens (BBG) mobile home park when we mentioned the victims, we were met with similar responses, "Oh, you have your story wrong, there were only two bodies found." And when some of them went on to insist, "I know, because I lived here then," we were flabbergasted and even embarrassed to be the ones to deliver the news that two more little girls were found eleven years ago. The disbelief on both sides that day (albeit for different reasons) was the catalyst that made us decide that, if nothing else, there was work we could do around publicizing this story.

 Over the next few months we made a number of trips to the area, walking the property and talking to former neighbors. We came to believe, as most people in Allenstown already did, that whoever deposited those victims was personally familiar with the property. Local folks had never bought into the theory that some random trucker looking for a place to dump bodies had just backed up and dropped off barrels.

Because so many people we spoke with from BBG had never been questioned by authorities, we eventually decided to re-create the mobile home park from the years 1977 through 1985. See Bear Brook Gardens Project. We wanted to ensure one, that every female resident was either alive or had died under normal circumstances and two, we wanted to capture peoples' memories from that era. If no one knew about the little girls, even within a stone's throw of where they were found, then how was anyone going to know if their memories from back then had significance to this case? To that end, we formed a private Facebook group entitled Bear Brook Gardens where 80 former residents of the mobile home park began a years long project of helping us re-create the 115 lots of the mobile home park and who lived there when. Although we knew that the victims may never have lived in Allenstown, there was nowhere else to start, so we began there.
 

Mapping out Bear Brook Gardens at Ronda's house in Maine

In 2012, I began searching online for an expert on DNA, someone who might be able to provide guidance around what more could be tried by New Hampshire authorities to identify the victims using their DNA. I stumbled across the website of Blaine Bettinger, an attorney with a Ph.D. in biochemistry and more importantly, a renowned genealogist. I called him and he graciously explained SNPs, genome sequencing, and work he has done to help sperm donor children reunite with biological fathers. Not having a strong science background, I was quickly floundering. I joined a Facebook group called Search Squad to publicize the Allenstown case and was asked if the victims' DNA could be matched to the submissions in the ancestry-type databases. I replied that I had consulted with Ancestry and the State of NH about this question and was told that "all DNA submitted to the registries has to be in the form of saliva samples for the manner in which it is typed." Someone in the FB group tagged CeCe Moore in this post. CeCe, a blogger (Your Genetic Genealogist) and media consultant on genealogy/DNA (Finding Your Roots, etc) responded to this by commenting, ""The subject of getting some of these cold cases into our databases is something that I have looked into extensively and have been working on with a cold case detective, but unfortunately, the info provided to JaneDoe Allenstown is correct. The type of testing performed on remains is a completely different type of testing and not comparable to our genealogy DNA databases. The only way to get the DNA into the databases we use is through saliva/swab. FTDNA is the only possible exception to that since they have their own lab and can be a bit more flexible. It really is sad because we could solve a large number of these types of cases if we could compare them to our databases. I spoke at a Human Identification forensic conference in September and discussed this subject with them, encouraging them to start their own database of samples using SNP testing (like we do) rather than STR (traditional law enforcement tests). It will take a long time to build up that type of database however."

Little did we know that in a matter of a few short years, the use of genetic genealogy would revolutionize the field of cold case investigations and indeed, would be the catalyst that would begin to unravel the pieces of the Allenstown mystery. (And about the FaceBook name JaneDoe Allenstown referenced by CeCe in her comment above: this was our original name on FB. Until the day we asked too many questions of a police officer with a very bad guy for a brother-in-law and he reported us to Facebook for not using my real name on the page. Hence, the name change on FB to my own name after I got out of FB Jail). 

In 2012, I went to Florida and visited with former Allenstown Police Chief Norman "Jazzy" Connors and former Allenstown police officer Mike Philbrick. They graciously shared their story about the day they responded to the call about the 1985 barrel and thoughts they have had about the case in subsequent years.

Somewhere along the way, we named ourselves Oak Hill Research because people kept asking who we were and who we worked for. 'Oak Hill' is a reference to the neighborhood where we grew up and 'Research' seemed appropriate because, well, that's what the project was all about. Accessing four libraries in NH, we began collecting binders of information gleaned from old city directories, phone books, deeds, newspapers, and annual reports.

On one forgettable occasion, I spent 14 hours across two days collecting names from the 1984 Concord phonebook. I don't recommend the activity, the motion sickness this generated was quite unpleasant. Scott devised a grid to help us map out the lots off of Deerfield Road and we slowly began filling in names, with the assistance of former park residents. We went door to door in Bear Brook Gardens passing out flyers, asking questions about who lived where, collecting pictures from that era, and using old growth trees still in the park to help us match old photos to current lots as the addresses had changed three times since 1977.

Back in the day

Former park resident Paul Chevrette has been a valuable resource over the years in orienting us to the Allenstown area, among other things.

In the years of working on this project, a number of people that we have sat down with and interviewed have died, including Chief Connor. Although it was sobering to realize how the passage of time could impact finding answers in this case, it was even more disturbing to us that relatives of the victims might die without ever learning what had become of their loved ones. And as we had no idea who these relatives were, Scott and I came to feel, as did many in New Hampshire, that we were standing in as family for them. We visited their grave on Mother's Day and other occasions and marked the anniversaries that their bodies were found.  

May 9, 2015: Memorial gathering on the Allenstown property to observe the 15 year anniversary of the little girls being found. Susan Connolly (pink shirt) came with her daughters from Massachusetts and has been a constant support on this project- getting media coverage for the story and sharing it online in many venues. Scott and I's mother in the green sweater. 

I searched for a beautiful song to play for these occasions and decided on Billy Joel's Lullabye (Goodnight, My Angel). The haunting melody and poignant words pierced my heart every time I heard it, particularly when thinking about the little girls that John Cody found in that second barrel.  I prayed that during their short lives, they knew times of much love and joy and that their deaths came quickly and while they were asleep.

This case has impacted our own families too and they have provided unceasing support for this project through the years.  Our spouses, Valerie and David, have helped in many practical ways behind the scenes and have been gracious about the trips, the huge maps and timelines hung in both houses, and the endless phone calls between siblings who previously had talked on the phone perhaps two or three times a year.

Valerie and David. The barrel pic was from when we were studying the significance of the location of the barrels, the height and weight of victims compared to a 55 gallon drum, and whether we thought kids could have rolled a barrel 100 uneven yards with that kind of weight in it.

The lonely and unmourned deaths of the little girls in Allenstown disturbed me in ways I could not describe. I realized, over time, that the grief from the death in 2007 of our niece Paige was somehow linked to the emotions this case stirred up for me. Paige died in New Hampshire of leukemia at age two, a beautiful and funny and much loved little girl whose death staggered our family. The thought that another little girl around her age could be killed and discarded with no one to mourn her passing weighed heavily on me and provided momentum to the project. November 10th was not only the day Paige died, it was also the date, 22 years before, that the first barrel was found in Allenstown.

  Sometime not long after we began researching this case, I took four stones from the Allenstown property where the victims were found and carried them with me on my travels. Someday, I vowed, I would write their names on those stones and lay this project to rest. Until then, they went back and forth from Maine to New Hampshire with me, rattling around in my trunk the way the puzzle of this story rattled around in my head and in my heart. 




We decided our focus, in addition to re-creating the park, needed to be on searing the story into the consciousness of people in New England. In 2013, when updated composites of the victims were released, I got a phone call from CNN reporter  Phil Gast who was doing a story to accompany the release of the new images. After doing the interview for that article, I naively hoped that tips would come rolling in as this was the most widespread coverage the case had ever gotten. Instead, we were contacted by psychics and "witnesses"  to the murders (aka people with major mental health issues) and websleuths interested in the case but no one who could provide specific information. However, one comment by New Hampshire State Police Sgt. Joe Ebert in the CNN article did resonate with me.  He stated that "someone critical to identifying the victims may not have come forward because of a sense of criminal liability or guilt for not having provided clues sooner." I thought about the last seven words of this sentence quite often and it informed the direction of our research.

We designed this blog, made a Facebook page, updated the flyers when new composites were released, made and circulated memes on Facebook, reached out to media and retired detectives, joined the websleuthing community online and talked about the case with strangers everywhere we went. Scott had to remind me to keep my online comments positive as I was easily triggered by anything I perceived as apathy.

I inadvertently offended members of the websleuthing community by referring to some of the unstable characters who crossed our path in the true crime world as "Doenuts" (as in John Doe cases and the Doe Network). I hadn't coined the phrase but thought it a witty and apt term. I was chastised online for my disrespect toward those private citizens working diligently to bring attention to the world of the missing and unidentified dead. Suffice it to say, I apologized. Several times. 

In the summer of 2014, we were researching half a dozen stories connected to the case, one being an anonymous tip about the victims being from a "gypsy" family. I called the Allenstown property owner Ed Gallagher several times to inquire about possible travelers who may have camped in the sandpit at the rear of his property and to run various names by him. At the end of July, Ed, likely exasperated with all my questions over the years and worn down with caring for an ill wife, mentioned that he thought the person who dumped the bodies on his poperty was one Bobby Evans. Surprised to hear a specific name after three years of phone calls, I was obviously curious about why he would connect this former co-worker to such a ghastly crime. Ed didn't offer many reasons, stating that Evans was odd and aloof and refused to discuss his past. I collected the stories about "Bobby" that Ed shared and Scott and I began looking for him- this electrician who worked with Ed at the Waubec Mill and who later helped him with refrigeration issues at Bear Brook Store. 
 
I had one rather memorable phone call with a 72 year old electrician named Bob Evans in Manchester but he assured me that he had never worked in Allenstown and that he knew two other electricians named Bob Evans from the area as well. It felt like something out of a bad movie but we researched and eliminated Electrician Bob Evans #1, #2, and #3. At this point, I was becoming somewhat  dismissive about Ed's suggestion and was heavily researching "travelers" out of South Carolina who passed through the Granite State doing paving jobs. There had been that odd anonymous query in 2013 from someone in SC asking "did two kids get murdered at bear brook 4 camp in nh?" Struck by the wording of "two kids" and not three and the way the poster seemed to be trying to verify a story they had heard, I was looking into the travelers of Murphy Village and missing children from SC on the genealogy forums. As for the Evans hypothesis? I thought that being "aloof" and "reluctant to discuss the past" pretty much summed up many folks in New Hampshire and hardly signified that one was inclined to saw up people and toss them away like trash. 



Scott, however, couldn't shake the story and kept circling back to Evans. I called the state to check electrician licenses in that name but was told that they didn't have records going that far back. We called Gallagher, asking him if he recalled exactly where in Manchester Evans lived as he had driven him home at least once. He described the location as "east of Elm Street near the park where they have lights and play baseball." Strangely enough, this took Scott into the virtual backyard of the first Bob Evans we spoke with. We interviewed several other people who remembered Evans and their memories confirmed what Gallagher had said; he was odd, he was aloof, he was a mechanical genius. One person who had worked with him speculated that he had come from a warmer climate as he wore a winter jacket in New Hampshire year round.  



After several months of fruitlessly searching for the whereabouts of the Bob Evans who once introduced his pregnant girlfriend to Gallagher in the most disparaging of terms, I turned over Ed's theory to the NH State Police in December of 2014. We let Gallagher know that we had passed it along and eventually began asking about Evans in the Bear Brook Gardens Facebook group. Surely someone from Allenstown remembered Evans and the girlfriend who drove him around in the faded gray or light blue VW camper.



In June of  2015 I went to Laconia Bike Week for three days to publicize the case. It was awkward kneeling on the Weirs with my cordless drill every morning to put my sign together but the bikers were interested and most of them said they'd never heard of the case.

As many of these bikers were from Manchester and Concord and Portsmouth, it reinforced again for me that the Allenstown victims could easily have come from NH. It was extremely disturbing to think that their killer may have walked free for years because their story got so little attention in the Granite State. 


We considered many possible theories about the killer and the victims during those early years of researching. Sometimes the odd reactions of relatives of men we were asking questions about triggered our interest and resulted in their names being added to our persons of interest list. Perhaps the most puzzling moment came when a widow had her husband's ashes buried after speaking with us, ashes that had sat in her home for decades. Scott discovered this quite by accident and we wondered if she had thought we could get DNA from the ashes. The deceased man's brother volunteered his own DNA to the NH State Police to quell any doubts.

Collection of his DNA

Scott and I kicked all kinds of theories around. Did a sexual predator offer sanctuary to a family on the fringes? Did a woman already on the run cross paths with someone far worse than what she was running from? Or maybe the man she was running from caught up with her and the girls. We looked at local predators and posted our theories on this blog, hopeful that some comment or picture would jog a memory and an answer. We asked invasive questions of strangers and I began locking my house and car for the first time ever. It seemed likely that someone who was missing the woman, at least, had searched for her, perhaps posting about a sister who took off with a new boyfriend or about nieces that went into state custody, etc. We scoured the genealogy forums looking for queries for the missing and then reached out to the posters to see if they had ever located their lost ones. 

One we didn't rule out

This 2001 query (below) caught our eye and we contacted relatives to see if Martha Douglass was still whereabouts unknown. She is. A 13 or 14 year old girl who had just vanished. We contacted law enforcement in CA who did not find any activity in any system on her name with that DOB. We provided NamUs information to the family in the event they want to list her in this database for the missing and unidentified. 


 And we wondered if perhaps the killer himself had fallen off the radar and was being searched for by relatives, so we perused the posts about disappeared men. The wording of some of these inquiries was often heart-breaking. We had never realized how many people out there are searching for "lost" loved ones.

In searching for missing/unidentified men, we came across two men in Massachusetts who need to get added to NamUs. One is missing man Edwin Thompson and the other is an unidentified man found in Newton in 1982. 

Putnam, Daneault, Cyr

Some of the queries we followed up on led to unexpected developments. We found a post from a relative of Cynthia Louise Putnam missing out of Vermont since 1974. In researching her case, we came across what we believe to be the answer to her disappearance. We notified family members and authorities of our findings. Another name we came across while perusing old NH newspapers was that of Denise Daneault, a woman missing out of Manchester NH in 1980. After calling the Manchester Police Department and being told that she was not missing, I drove to New Hampshire and knocked on her son's door where I got confirmation that her whereabouts were, indeed, still unknown. Today, 39 plus years after she went missing, she still does not show up on the NH Cold Case Unit list of victims. Another story that caught our eye was that of missing Montreal child Yohanna Cyr. A person of interest in her case had once lived in Allenstown, and still lived in New Hampshire, causing us to wonder if Yohanna could possibly be the unrelated child in the barrel.

Some of the stories that came about because of the Bear Brook case:

In 2015, with the impending 30 year anniversary of the first barrel being found, I hoped to get some wider coverage of the case. Searching online for crime writers for the Boston Globe, I came across Shelley Murphy's name. Noting that she had written a book on Whitey Bulger, I decided she would be the one to approach, although I didn't have much faith she would be interested in doing a story for a deadline two weeks away. I called the number I found online and she answered. I explained my request about the anniversary and provided some background information and two weeks later, on the 30th anniversary exactly, she ran the story: Decades-old slayings of woman, 3 girls still baffle N.H. officials. Interestingly, this was the first time that Ed Gallagher's name appeared in print in connection with this case. He pointed the finger at transients and "unsavory characters" who lived in the trailer park and stated, "You just hope somebody on their deathbed admits something. How do you run around with all this guilt in your head?"



Murphy also spoke with two women who have significantly contributed to work on this case. Carol Schweitzer (a senior forensic specialist at the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children) and Kim Fallon (chief forensic investigator for the New Hampshire Medical Examiner's office). Murphy's article also profiled artist Carl Koppelman's depiction of what the victims may have looked like. His rendering humanized the family in a way that earlier composites had not.

A week later, New Hampshire authorities held a press conference in Manchester, NH to announce the results of updated forensic testing on the remains of the victims.  These updates were announced by Senior Assistant Attorney General Benjamin Agati.

We learned that the isotope testing done on the victims showed that the woman and the two girls related to her may have lived in the areas highlighted in green on the map below (State abbreviations added by me).

It was a surreal experience to see the new composites of the victims flash onto the screen in that darkened room. When the image of the youngest child flickered from the projector, it brought tears to my eyes. So little, so defenseless. These latest composites were created by Joe Mullins, a forensic imaging specialist with the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children.

As forensic science evolved over the last decade, it was interesting to note the evolution of the facial reconstructions. Each updated depiction of the woman's face generated renewed discussion online in the websleuthing forums as to the woman's ethnicity, particularly in light of the shovel-shape dentition that may have indicated a native american ancestry.

The first composites had been released in 2009 and although they moved the victims into the public eye, their slightly freaky appearance was somewhat jarring to viewers. Updates released in 2013 were more appealing to look at and gave the "middle child" (as she would come to be known) eyes at least. These latest updates were much more life-like although it was anybody's guess as to how accurate they were.   

When Agati was asked at the press conference about the cause of death for the little girls, he stated that he did not have information he could share on this topic. It seemed an odd omission but perhaps was information that was withheld to test the veracity of tips that might come in. He made a comment when appealing to the public for assistance, "At this point in time, we are at the final line of what science can do to help us identify where they came from and who they were ..." Those words echoed in my head at the end of the presser, leaving a discouraging feeling in their wake. If I only could have seen what science was fixing to do next!

In early 2016 we were encouraged when Billy Jensen, from Crime Watch Daily came to New Hampshire and filmed what would be the first of two segments on the case. Jensen was intrigued with the story and brought it much needed and long overdue national exposure. We hoped that the show would generate THE tip to identify the girls and while it certainly sparked interest in the case all over the country, the identities of the victims remained just out of reach.  

On Gallagher's property with Billy Jensen

Little did we realize then that we were just months away from getting our first glimpses into a back story that would bring together investigators on both coasts and yield a whole slew of new questions.

The first glimpse for us came on December 28th, 2016, when my phone blew up with texts from folks in New Hampshire asking if I had seen the news out of Manchester. There, a story had been released about a woman named Denise Beaudin who had moved away from Manchester with her infant daughter Dawn and her boyfriend Bob Evans in 1981 and was never heard from again. The article was entitled "35 years later, authorities call Manchester woman’s disappearance suspicious."

Although the story said nothing about Allenstown or the barrel murders, the name "Bob Evans" set off alarm bells for everyone who knew that we had been asking about a "Bobby Evans" in connection with Gallagher's property. Processing this new information with Allenstown area people, we tried to fit the new pieces together into some kind of coherent story but the details eluded us. As people absorbed the fact that this case seemed to be  larger than anyone had previously thought, no one commented publicly about the connection between the cases. I was grateful for the respect displayed and was reminded again of the taciturn nature of many in the Granite State. 

The month between the release of the Beaudin article and the press conference that was announced for January 17, 2017 was a long month. Scott and I went to the Concord DMV where it was being held with a multitude of questions. Also attending were former Allenstown residents Paul Chevrette and Ron Sayles. Speaking that day were Michael Kokoski (Supervisor in the NH Cold Case Unit), Jeffery Strelzin (Senior Assistant Attorney General Chief, Homicide Unit), and Ryan Grant (Detective Captain in the Manchester Police Department).

Kokoski, Strelzin, and Grant

Telling the story with informative slides packed with information, the presenters recounted how cases on the east and west coasts were finally connected through the story of the man once known in New Hampshire as Bob Evans. These slides included a summary, pictures, a timeline, a list of aliases, and maps of this predator's travels.

 It wasn't long into the press conference before the anticipation of answers gave way to the disappointing realization that we wouldn't be writing the girls' names on any stones that day. The ending of this story was still some distance in the future. 

In brief, we learned the following:

The name 'Bob Evans' appeared to be just one of many aliases used by the man who had disappeared from Manchester, NH with Denise Beaudin and her infant daughter Dawn. In a story that seemed too twisted to be true, we learned that Evans, living under the alias 'Gordon Jenson' had changed Dawn's name to Lisa somewhere along the way, abused and tortured her, and later abandoned her with an older couple in California in 1986.

Dawn/Lisa.
This couple ended up contacting the authorities and Lisa was eventually adopted into a family on the west coast. However, years later, the trail of fingerprints from her abandonment had led police to a man imprisoned in California under the name 'Larry Vanner.' Vanner was serving a 15 year to life sentence for the 2002 murder of his partner Eunsoon Jun. 

 
Eunsoon Jun

When Jun's concerned friends had notified police earlier that year that no one had seen her for some time, her bludgeoned and partially dismembered body had been found under a pile of cat litter in the home that Vanner/Evans continued to live in. He had pled guilty to her murder, likely to avoid a trial where his past would have caught up with him.  Later, when fingerprints from the Lisa abandonment case led authorities to him, DNA testing had revealed that he was not Lisa's biological father as he had claimed when he abandoned her. Although police questioned him in an attempt to learn where Lisa had come from, he refused to disclose any information. In 2010, he died of natural causes in High Desert Prison in Susanville, California. I imagine that Evans (as Scott and I will likely always think of him) probably felt triumphant about the fact that he had managed to take his darkest secrets to the grave with him. But if so, he clearly had not counted on the tenacity of several individuals whose pursuit of answers led to a day of posthumous reckoning.

Per the information issued by the  New Hampshire State Police at the press conference, "The San Bernandino County Sheriff's Office worked closely with a genetic genealogist to help identify the little girl's birth family through DNA testing at several of the popular genomics websites." Specifically was this meant was that a pitbull of a detective named Peter Headley had paired up with Lisa, now married with children of her own, to help her identify her biological relatives. This years-long effort, funded in part by Headley and the genealogist herself, had come to be known as The Lisa Project.

Accessing cutting-edge genetic genealogy processes (more about this later because little was released in 2017 about how this transpired), the DNA trail had led Lisa and Headley to relatives in Manchester, New Hampshire and to an eventual reunion for Lisa with her maternal grandfather. It is ironic to consider how Lisa's search for her true identity proved to be the catalyst for unraveling Evans' legacy of lies around his identity. Somehow this seemed a little bit like Justice, with a capital J. While Lisa survived her time at Evans' hands, police stated that they feared that her mother Denise did not, although her body has never been found. 

Denise in 1981

What happened next in this backstory is the part that linked the Lisa Project to the Allenstown case on the other side of the country. Ashley Rodriguez is an employee of the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) who had worked on Lisa's case. When Ashley was looking at a map of New Hampshire after receiving confirmation that Lisa had been positively identified as Dawn Beaudin out of Manchester, she said "... it just dawns on me that Manchester is really close to Allenstown and to a case that Carol [Schweitzer] was working." Ashley, wondering if there could be a connection between the cases, reached out to Det. Headley in California and asked him if he knew about the case of the four victims found in Allenstown.

This suggestion led to further DNA testing that revealed that Bob Evans was the father of the little girl found in Allenstown in 2000 who was unrelated to the other victims. Her actual identity, however, was still unknown and police were concerned that her mother may have been another victim.

father and daughter

  The identities of the woman and the other two children were still unknown but DNA testing showed that Evans was not related to these two children, nor was Denise the woman in the barrel. Authorities now believed that it was likely that the victims found in Allenstown were all killed prior to December of 1981 when Evans disappeared from Manchester with Denise. A possible clue to the adult victim's identity might lie in the story shared about a mystery woman named Elizabeth.

Was Elizabeth the woman in the barrel or was she the mother of Evans' daughter? Or was she someone else entirely?

 
It was an odd turn of events to now have pictures of a killer when his identity was still unknown. All over the country, investigators, genealogists, and websleuths began trying to figure out the real identity of the bogeyman who now had a face and a traveling bag full of aliases.

The next move by NH authorities was to search the house in Manchester where 'Bob Evans' had lived. The FBI assisted in the search and it appeared from the coverage that this search was quite thorough. Unfortunately, nothing of significance to the case was found.

925 Hayward St searched January 2017

In April of 2017, authorities conducted a brief search (part of a day) of the acres of wooded property in Allenstown still owned by Ed Gallagher. 

Apparently nothing of interest was found, although they turned over some leaves and pulled out some metal debris. 

We thought back to the piece of electrical wire we had once stumbled across on the property and left in the leaves where we found it. An especially chilling sight after we learned that electrical wire had been used to wrap the bodies. However, we assumed the wire post-dated the killings though, as it was partially melted and likely had come from the fire in 1983 that burned the store. A fire that we had once imagined might have been set to cover a crime.

The wait for the next bit of information was not long. In June, the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children released 4 minutes of video excerpts from a 2002 interview with 'Larry Vanner' and authorities from Contra Costa County, CA. In this, he was being questioned regarding the disappearance of his partner Eunsoon Jun. The video was released in the hope that someone would recognize him. 

                              Interview w/'Larry Vanner' 

When Evans/Vanner appears to brush crumbs from the table half way through the interview, I felt a chill thinking about what else those hands had done. I thought back to the jolting images shown of the caved-in skull of the littlest girl and the comment Joe Mullins made about it looking like a brick or rock had been used to crush her skull. 

Skull of youngest child 

Brief though the video excerpts may be, they contain a rather fascinating glimpse into his personality. At 1:22 he states, "I've always tried to live by the motto that there's no defense against the truth. But sometimes it's hard to find out what the truth is..."  It seemed to be the taunting words of a man who used the alias Mockerman and left behind an autobiography filled with fiction. A man who thought he was too smart for any challenger. 

This just made it a bit sweeter when less than two months later, the New Hampshire State Police issued a press release unveiling the real identity of this Mockerman, complete with pictures and an updated timeline. He was, in fact, one Terry Peder Rasmussen, born in Colorado in 1943. A man with an ex-wife and four grown children who had not heard from him in decades. DNA had confirmed his identity through a match with his son. 

The bogeyman now had a name. While grateful for progress on the case, I felt a flash of anger that he now had a name but his victims' identities were still unknown. And like most who had followed the case, my heart went out to his children. Over the years they had posted queries online looking for him and this was an answer they never could have anticipated. 

1969

This picture released by authorities generated a strong reaction among those who had followed the case. It was chilling to see Rasmussen holding an infant daughter and to weigh this image against all that we had come to know of the man's later proclivities.

In November of 2017, we held a small candle-light vigil in the Allenstown cemetery on the 32nd anniversary of the first barrel being found. It was a bitterly cold night so we kept things brief. Some people said a few words, we played the Billy Joel song Lullabye (Goodnight, My Angel), various people laid flowers for the victims and two people offered prayers. Until the day...

Authorities had been vague about the specifics of the Rasmussen identification process and it would be some time before we learned of the amazing work that went on behind the scenes by genealogist Barbara Rae-Venter, the same genealogist who had also identified Lisa's biological family. And the Golden State Killer.

Joseph DeAngelo (Golden State Killer) and Barbara Rae-Venter

This had come about because Detective Headley had approached the DNAAdoption.com group to ask whether the process that was being used to assist adoptees in finding birth parents could be used to identify abandoned child 'Lisa.' Rae-Venter, a retired patent attorney, with experience in genealogical research using DNA, volunteered her time to assist Headley. By the time Lisa was identified, they estimated that volunteers had invested 20,000 hours into the project. 

In one of those crazy small world coincidences that sometimes happens, the ripple effects of the effort to identify Lisa were even felt in my hometown in Maine. About 6 or 7 years ago I had attended several meetings of my local genealogical society in the Midcoast Maine area. At one of the meetings, the president of the group, Brian Bouchard, told about a brick wall he had run into in his research into the adoption of his great-grandmother. I had approached him after the meeting and explained that I had done a number of adoption searches and offered to work on his. He provided me with the data he had and shortly after that, I was able to provide the information he needed. Fast forward to September 2018 and I decided to attend another meeting as I had heard that Brian was going to present on an old murder mystery from the turn of the century in Maine. After his talk, I spoke with him and he said that he had been able to verify the information I had given him about the adoption when we had last had contact. I asked him about a long missing uncle he had referenced in his talk today and asked if he had submitted DNA to Ancestry in an attempt to find his uncle's family. He said that he had so I asked him if he had uploaded his DNA to GEDMatch.


Brian Bouchard

 Brian replied that he had submitted his parents' DNA there. I told him about my interest in GEDMatch being due to its recent role in solving cold cases. He responded that, speaking of cold cases, an interesting thing had happened to him a while back when he had been contacted by a genealogist because some woman in California had been abducted as a child by a man she thought was her father but turned out not to be. The genealogist had asked him questions about his family tree because the woman was related to him. He gave the genealogist's name, thinking I might have heard of her because of her role in the Golden State Killer case. In ABSOLUTE disbelief, I stammered something to the effect, "Then you're related to Lisa?" Now it was Brian's turn to be surprised because he hadn't used Lisa's name in telling me this story. I told him he had no idea what a strange turn of events this was and explained my history with the Allenstown case. Still shaking my head about this crazy coincidence!

October 2018. The first episode of the podcast Bear Brook was released. In 2015, I had met New Hampshire Public Radio reporter Jason Moon at the press conference where the new isotope testing results were released. Jason became intrigued by the case and began work on telling the story through the lens of a podcast. He came to Maine and interviewed Scott and I at my home. Impressed with his thoughtful, intuitive questions and a keen mind that could bring this story forward without resorting to sensationalism, I felt hopeful that this might be the vehicle that would bring the long-sought identities.

There were times over the years when I wasn't sure that the podcast would really materialize. Jason was covering things like Presidential candidates campaigning in New Hampshire and I remember emphatically saying to him on one occasion that NHPR should realize that the Allenstown story was much more interesting than Trump! But in hindsight, I am grateful for the production delays as it allowed the podcast to be released at the perfect time; a time when new developments in the case were breaking one after the other and decades-old questions were being answered.

Several of my family members and I made a brief trip to Allenstown on the 33rd anniversary of the first barrel being found. We were joined by Allenstown resident Jeff Gardner. The four stones were still awaiting names and as always, we hoped that this would be the last memorial vigil in honor of nameless victims. This year we added a picture of a woman in memory of Denise Beaudin who remains lost.

November 10, 2018

Several other things were going on behind the scenes of this case that would prove to be the undoing of the decades-old mystery of the Allenstown identities. One, Barbara Rae-Venter, the genealogist whose work had identified Terry Rasmussen as the Allenstown killer and who had identified "Lisa Jensen" as being Dawn Beaudin from Manchester, set to work trying to get usable DNA from the Allenstown remains. Rae-Venter was also the woman who identified the Golden State Killer but she had kept her name out of the media for some time. This article The Finders: Cracking Cold Cases with Genealogy, Forensics, and DNA – Part Two of a Two-Part Series addresses some of what happened next: "We did two or three extractions from bone, and a liver extract, and what little we could get was very low quality.... Then Dr. Rae-Venter remembered reading about a case where atDNA was obtained from rootless hair for the first time, using technology developed for use by paleontologists. 'I contacted the lab and they agreed to test hair from the Bear Brook victims, which, luckily, was plentiful. After adding a bleaching step to remove the melanin that interferes with DNA extraction, 10 strands of the woman's hair was sent to the lab." The article goes on to explain that this was the first time that anybody had ever gotten DNA from a hair shaft. The scientist responsible for this ground-breaking work was Richard Green from the UCSC Paleogenomics Lab. Eventually, this DNA was uploaded to the GEDMatch database to look for relative matches.

When we learned about the work going on to extract DNA from hair, Scott and I took a big step backward from the project of recreating the mobile home park and scouring the genealogy forums. We assumed that it would just be a matter of time until science/DNA/Barbara etc turned up answers. Charts came down off my walls and I shelved binders and research. 

Ronda's front hall

We encouraged friends of our Facebook page and followers of the blog to join FB groups like Who Is Bob Evans And Who Are His Victims? to discuss the case as it reduced the time we would need to spend answering questions that we had already answered multiple times over the years. Some questions we had been asked hundreds (literally!) of times. These included:

1. Could the killer be John Edward Robinson as he disposed of his victims in barrels and was active in the 1980s? Answer: No idea.

2. Could the victims be Mary Stuart and her daughters, missing out of Honeydew, CA in 1977? Answer: The Stuarts were ruled out by DNA. But along the way, we got acquainted with members of the family and with officials who indicated that the answers were likely close to home in this case.

3. Could the DNA of the victims be run through the Ancestry type databases? Answer: No, as this is what CeCe Moore had answered in the beginning about using this process. Somewhere along the way, the answer became yes.

Being an INTJ personality type, I often had little patience for social niceties online and sometimes tired of having to apologize to folks for my "Yankee" brusqueness. 

However, the waiting on science got old at times, and occasionally I would follow up on an idea that had gotten shelved. At one point, I took a metal detector over an area near the front of the Allenstown property and dug up a small stash of buried clothes (foil in the hole had apparently set my detector off). 

After drying off the clothing in my downstairs bathtub for weeks, my mother carefully cleaned the dirt from the items and cut away the roots growing through them. The clothing was fragile with decay and none of the tags could be read but they remain in paper bags in my attic. Just.In.Case.

Meanwhile, another critical development was taking place behind the scenes, one that would explode this story into the national spotlight. Rebekah Heath, a Connecticut librarian with an interest in the nameless dead, was also researching this case with an eye to identifying the victims.

 She belonged to the Who is Bob Evans FB group (name was changed after Evans was identified as Rasmussen) where members would debate theories, post possible leads, and generate publicity for the case in the hopes that someone would recognize the story of the murdered girls. Rebekah, scouring the genealogy forums for posts about missing relatives, had come across this 1999 query:

Apparently Sarah's paternal relatives weren't the only ones searching for Marlyse and her daughters.

Rebekah posted about the queries in the Bob Evans group in August of 2017 where they did not seem to generate much interest and she did not pursue it further at that time. However, someone from the group who read her posts messaged us that same month to ask if we were familiar with the name Marlyse Honeychurch. It was not a name we knew so we researched the family online a bit. Although I assumed that we would soon hear that Marlyse was ruled out as being the woman in the barrel in Allenstown, I was jolted a bit when I noticed that her birthday was January 28th, my birthday also. Strange, I thought, what are the odds of this mystery woman I have pursued for so long having the same birthday as I do? Scott, ever the pragmatist, answered, "1 in 365."


In October of 2018, after listening to the first two episodes of the Bear Brook podcast which referenced searching the genealogy forums, Rebekah thought about the McWaters/Marlyse queries again and decided to investigate them further. On October 10th, 2018, she contacted Lisa (the woman who posted in 1999 looking for her husband's sister) on Facebook. That evening, Rebekah learned that Marlyse had last been seen with a boyfriend named Rasmussen. And in that moment, she knew. She had just identified three of the four Allenstown victims. She said in interviews later that she hardly slept that night and she contacted Detective Peter Headley in San Bernadino, CA the next day. Headley reached out to NH authorities and the wheels were set in motion to begin the process of contacting relatives and testing DNA. And that DNA testing took time, perhaps lengthened by several unexpected paternity issues. The police had initially indicated that they were not going to release identities until all FOUR victims could be identified. However, once confirmation of three of the identities had been confirmed, and time was dragging on, there was pressure to update officially.

This update happened on June 6th, 2019 when the NH State Police held a press conference in Concord. There was a solemn atmosphere in the room as the victims' identities were confirmed as being Marlyse and her daughters, Marie Vaughn and Sarah McWaters. 



As they did at past press conferences on the case, authorities presented a comprehensive slide show that walked viewers through the story to date. They explained that Marlyse was last seen by her relatives in 1978 at Thanksgiving in La Puente, California. Marlyse attended the occasion at her mother's house with Terry Rasmussen, whom the family only met this once. After Marlyse and her mother had an argument over a minor matter, Marlyse left with Terry. She and her girls were never seen again by her family.  Updated timeline.

Marie (1975?)

It was a sobering and surreal experience to hear the police recount the events leading up to the family's disappearance. As I sat in the audience, I could not imagine how this day felt for Marlyse's relatives who had filed in just before the presser began and had taken seats in the front row, accompanied by the victim's advocate for the Cold Case Unit. Elsewhere in the room were people who had worked on or covered this case for years, a hushed reunion of sorts.

But most poignant for me was the stoic face of Rasmussen's youngest daughter, seated to my left. She had been unsure if she should attend, not wanting her presence to cause offense to Marlyse's family. But this last little unidentified child was her sister and she wanted to be there to honor her memory on this most difficult of days. She was the only sibling of "the middle child" who lived close enough to attend and I was glad she could be there, despite the shadow of sorrow that hung heavy over the room. Another woman in the room was Rebekah Heath, the researcher from CT who had discovered the identities. The police gave respectful and well-deserved credit to Becky and I have to say, to have a websleuth solve this case after all these years was a very gratifying development! I had brought the stones from the Allenstown property to the press conference and after it was over, I asked Becky to write the three names we now knew on them. 

As I listened to the dry scratch of the marker on the stones, it was an emotional moment for me. And it reminded me that prayers get answered.

So... the wait goes on for answers as to the identity of "the middle child." In the meantime, police are hopeful that someone may be able to identify the children (and date and location) in these pictures that were in the possession of a relative of Sarah McWaters. The pictures were likely taken in December of 1978 or 1979 and show Marie Vaughn celebrating her 7th or 8th birthday. 

Bear Brook killings: An old photo raises more questions

On Nov, 4th, 2019 this notice was issued

ALLENSTOWN- After decades of being known simply as part of “The Allenstown Four,” Marlyse Honeychurch and her daughters, Marie Vaughn and Sarah McWaters, were given back their identities and dignity in July of 2019.

In accordance with the wishes of their families, Marlyse and Marie will be interred together at a Graveside Service which will be held on Saturday, November 9th at 2 P.M. in St. John the Baptist Cemetery in Allenstown. This service is open to the public.

The families are grateful to the residents of Allenstown who never ceased in their compassion, thoughts and prayers for these young women.  Assisting the families with arrangements is the Petit-Roan Funeral Home in Pembroke.  To share a memory or offer a condolence, please visit www.petitroan.com

Link to announcement. 

There was some kind of miscommunication around the funeral service and relatives of Marlyse did not know it was happening when it did. Phone calls shot back and forth between the east and west coast the week of the service and Detective Headley reached out to the media to help get relatives to New Hampshire in order to attend. Thankfully, the 20/20 team with a couple days notice was able to fly Marlyse's siblings to NH.

California deputy on Rasmussen serial murders: ‘There's more victims out there’

New Hampshire law enforcement asking for community assistance in cold case with local ties. 

Serial killer Terry Rasmussen's victims, known and unknown

"An unidentified child homicide victim in New Hampshire has possible relatives in Pearl River County.

According to a release from a New Hampshire law enforcement agency investigating the case states that on May 9, 2000 the remains of two juvenile females were found within a 55-gallon drum in a wooded area of New Hampshire. The remains were badly decomposed and are related to the case of an adult female and juvenile female, found within a 55-gallon drum in a nearby wooded area in 1985. The cause of death for all four females was ruled a homicide.

Although three out of four of the victims have been identified, the remaining juvenile victim has not. The New Hampshire State Police have partnered with a Genetic Genealogist – Dr. Barbara Rae-Venter, in efforts to identify the last victim. Examination of the genetic composition of the child and genealogy research, suggest the mother of the child has relatives in Pearl River County, Mississippi. Plausibly, the child and her mother could be descendants from Thomas ‘Deadhorse’ Mitchell born in 1836 or William Livings born in 1826. The unidentified child would be the 5X or 6X great grandchild of one of these men.

The child was 2 to 4 years old at the time of her death, placing her birthdate between 1975-1977. She had slightly wavy brown hair and stood approximately 3’3”-3’9″ tall. She had a slight overbite that may have been noticeable. An analysis of her bones suggest that she may have had anemia in life but this cannot be confirmed. DNA testing has also revealed she is primarily Caucasian with a small amount of Asian, Black and American Indian ancestry. No clothing or personal items were recovered with her. Jane Doe is estimated to have been killed during the late 1970s to early 1980s; most likely between 1979-1981.

The investigation has suggested she is not originally for New Hampshire, and likely only spent a few weeks or months in the New Hampshire region before her death. It is believed that Jane Doe’s mother’s relatives are most likely from Pearl River County, Mississippi, but no location is being ruled out at this point.

DNA testing has revealed Jane Doe’s biological father is Terrence “Terry” Peder Rasmussen. He went by many aliases, including Robert “Bob” Evans, Curtis Kimball, Jerry Gorman, Gordon Jenson and Larry Vanner. He is the primary suspect in Jane Doe’s death but died in 2010 before he could be questioned. Jane Doe’s biological mother is unknown and is feared to also be a victim of Rasmussen.

Rasmussen served in the US Navy between 1961 – July, 1967 and served a tour in Vietnam. Rasmussen frequented trailer parks, motels and campgrounds. He has worked as a laborer, electrician and handyman.

During the 1970s Rasmussen had many ties to Texas. He worked under one of his aliases on an oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico and possibly once resided in Galveston and Ingleside. By December 1979, Rasmussen was living in Manchester, NH with the alias Robert T. Evans.

Known aliases for the suspect include:

• Terry Peder Rasmussen

• Robert (Bob) T. Evans

• Curtis Mayo Kimball

• Jerry Edwards Gorman

• Gordon Curtis Jenson

• Lawrence William Vanner

The identities of the remaining victims found in Allenstown, NH, are Marlyse Honeychurch, Marie Vaughn and Sarah McWaters. They were last seen in La Puente California in November, 1978 with Terry Rasmussen. They have no known ties to Mississippi, and had no relationship to New Hampshire prior to them going missing.

The two ways the public can help is by sharing across social media expanding the reach of the information, and as comfortable, uploading their DNA into GEDmatch or Family Tree DNA to increase the chances of identifying this little girl. Even if people don’t think they are related, anyone originally from the Mississippi region, who allows for the DNA to be examined, could potentially assist with genealogy efforts.

If you are aware of a missing child or a missing child and mother from this time frame, please contact Major Marc Ogden of the Pearl River County Sheriff’s Office at 601-403-2542 or Sgt. Matthew Koehler of the NH State Police Major Crime Unit at (603) 223-3648 or matthew.koehler@dos.nh.gov.

A 20/20 broadcast featuring this case will be aired on ABC this Friday, at 8 p.m. Central."
