I did a thing!

  Exciting news! One of the stories I wrote about is now almost completely solved! Thanks to "citizen sleuth", Becky Heath, and genetic genealogist, Barbara Rae-Venter, we now know the identity of three of the Bear Brook Murders Victims! Marlyse Honeychurch and her two children, Marie Elizabeth Vaughn (center) and Sarah Lynn McWaters   They discovered the identity of the three in the Fall of 2018, and the New Hampshire State police confirmed their identities with DNA testing. Now we only need to know the identity of the final victim, the daughter of the man who killed them, Terry Rasmussen.    Hopefully, someone will be able to provide authorities of this little girls name. I hate the idea that she is only known by her relation to the man who murdered her. She would have been born sometime between 1975 and 1977. She had wavy brown hair and a noticeable overbite. A bone analysis done indicated she MAY have had anemia, but that cannot be confirmed. Follo

Paul Holes and Billy Jensen's podcast was released today and their first case is about trying to identify the women in photos that were taken from the home of murderer/rapist Bill Bradford. Go listen to their podcast and if you have any information on any of the people in the photos you can let them know. It would be great if these women could be identified (Even better if they are safe!) Go to http://themurdersquad.com/ to see the evidence and find a link to their podcast.

I created a word cloud for the upcoming book! Real postings to be coming soon. I promise!
