In the middle of New Hampshire, there's this state park, Bear Brook State Park. It's huge, it's covered in thick forests, and it's full of all sorts of nooks and crannies to get lost in. It's the type of place where you can find some of the last remaining rattlesnakes in New England, where kids play hide and seek on four wheelers. And where, in 1985, a horrible discovery was made. 30 years ago, this month, a mystery began when the remains of an adult and a child were discovered in a bag next to an overturned 55 gallon drum in Great Bear Brook State Park. You know how, this is major, you know, this isn't, you know, somebody parking in the fire lane. This is, we've got bodies, we have people, we don't even know their names. I think the most frustrating thing is we didn't know who they were. What grandmother let this happen, or what neighbor, or what bus driver, or, you know, I mean, where were all of you? This is a guy who was able to pick his targets and get what he wanted. And that says that that is someone of terrifying intelligence. I mean, this is the biggest step forward for solving crime since the discovery of DNA itself. And we're going to look back on these 20 years, 30 years from now and say, this is, this is where it started. From New Hampshire Public Radio, Bear Brook, a podcast about an unsolved murder that's changing how murders will be investigated forever.
