Bear Brook Murders: Fourth Victim Identified
Tap title to read story
Authorities have identified the fourth victim in the decades-old Bear Brook murders as Rea Rasmussen, daughter of suspected serial killer Terry Peder Rasmussen, also known as the "Chameleon Killer." Rasmussen, who died in prison in 2010, was linked to the case through DNA and genealogical research by the DNA Doe Project. The discovery brings a sense of justice but also highlights remaining unanswered questions, particularly concerning the disappearance of Rea's mother, Pepper Reed, who is believed to be another victim. The case, involving the discovery of bodies in barrels in New Hampshire, has spanned decades and involved multiple aliases used by Rasmussen.
