A terrible discovery in the woods of New Hampshire. That's how the first season of Bearbrook begins. It's also how another separate mystery began, around the same time, in the summer of 1988. In an area just 15 miles from Bearbrook State Park, police were called to the scene of a different murder. A woman, seven months pregnant, was found stabbed and strangled. This time, the case didn't go cold. Police solved the mystery. They tracked down the killers and got them to confess. She struggled. Jason drove the knife at her back. Stabbed her again. I choked her and fell to the ground. How many times did you stab her? First of all, who did that? All right. But what if the police were wrong? What if the confessions were just a story? From New Hampshire Public Radio, Bearbrook Season 2, a true crime story. I'm Jason Moon. A story about a man who's been in prison for more than three decades, because of what he said to police as a 19-year-old. A story about the power of words on tape. They were going to be continued and repeated attacks that the police coerced, intimidated, promised, threatened. Mothers will do whatever they have to do to try to protect the kids. A story about what happens when an official narrative is challenged by new storytellers. Our story can change. Their story just won't. These convictions take on this mythical power. Once this conviction happens, it's like that story is what happened. Jason Carol is where he belongs, where he deserves to be, and he needs to stay there. He took away my mother's life, my life. You're screaming at the top of your lungs that, you know, you didn't do something. And it's almost as if the world can't hear you. I am tired of being looked at like some kind of animal. A story about the line that separates what we used to believe from what we now know. People really have a hard time understanding. Why would you confess to something that you didn't commit? Why would you confess to something as horrible as a rape or a murder if you didn't actually do that? What are you? I need to stop for a second. After 35 years, is it still possible to get to the truth? And who gets to tell it? That's all on Bearbrook Season 2, a true crime story. We can't be satisfied anymore. We can't be satisfied with the endings.
