Three of the four victims in one of New Hampshire's most notorious cold cases have been identified. The discoveries were made last fall by two people outside of law enforcement: an amateur investigator and a genetic genealogist. More from NHPR:
A woman named Marlyse Elizabeth Honeychurch and her two daughters, Marie Elizabeth Vaughn and Sarah Lynn McWaters, have been identified as victims in the case commonly referred to as the Bear Brook murders. Their bodies were found discarded in two barrels near Bear Brook State Park in Allenstown.
The lack of answers left many who had followed the case concerned that the mystery which helped usher in a powerful new forensic technique would itself go unsolved. Authorities say Rasmussen likely arrived in New Hampshire in the late 1970s and left in 1981. He's believed to have lived in Manchester, and went by the name Bob Evans during that period.
Becky Heath, who lives in Connecticut, says she spent countless hours scouring the internet for clues about the Bear Brook victims after first becoming aware of the case about 10 years ago. “It’s like the in-between,” Heath says. In the fall of 2017, Heath first came across the name Sarah McWaters in an online post written by someone who said she was her half-sister.
“I don’t know why I didn’t pursue it more,” says Heath. “I didn’t really get feedback from anyone so I didn’t pursue it more.” Terry Peder Rasmussen had been identified as the likely killer behind the Bear Brook murders by authorities in 2017. Rae-Venter went on to use the same techniques to identify the suspected Golden State Killer and has since worked on many other cases around the country.
