New England's Unsolved: The Allenstown murders investigation
continues
By: Bob Ward
Updated: Nov 17, 2017 - 11:40 PM
It is one of New Hampshire's darkest and most haunting
mysteries.
In quiet Allenstown, New Hampshire, 60 miles north of Boston,
investigators are still trying to identify the bodies of four
victims, three of them children, discovered inside barrels
decades ago.
The bodies were found in two metal drums near Bear Brook State
Park.
A hunter found the first barrel in 1985. Inside, wrapped in
trash bags, were the bodies of a young woman and a girl believed
to have been between 8 and 11 years old. The woman's body was
dismembered and the girl's lower legs were severed.
Fifteen years later, an investigator returned to the scene and
found a second 55 gallon drum about 100 yards away from the
first.
Inside the second drum, wrapped in garbage bags, were the bodies
of two little girls. The oldest was estimated to be 2 to 4 years
old, the youngest was only between 1 and 3 years old at the time
of her death.
DNA testing revealed the young woman was related to the oldest
and youngest child, but she was not biologically related to the
middle child.
The victims suffered blunt force trauma,and were murdered
sometime in the 1970's to early 1980's.
None of these victims has been identified.
In 2016, New England's Unsolved traveled to Alexandria, Virginia
and spoke to an artist with the National Center of Missing and
Exploited Children, who created life-like computer images of the
victims’ faces, based on an analysis of their skulls.
"You can't help but get personally attached to it," NCMEC artist
Joe Mullins said. "You just feel a sense of horror that these
victims, had to endure, their last, their final moments on this
planet."
The mystery of the Allenstown bodies continues to drive
investigators to give them the dignity of their names.
New progress on an old investigation
In the past year, New Hampshire State Police have made
incredible progress.
At a news conference in January 2017, New Hampshire Assistant
Attorney General Jeffrey Strelzin announced a huge break: the
killer's identity.
In the early 1980's a man known in New Hampshire as Bob Evans
lived with his girlfriend, Denise Beaudin, in an apartment on
Manchester's Hayward Street.
Evans is the man authorities now believe is not only the killer
of the Allenstown victims, but DNA reveals, he is also the
father of the unknown middle child.
It turns out, Bob Evans never really existed. Instead, his true
name was Terry Rasmussen.
Rasmussen was a Denver, Colorado native who traveled the United
States committing crimes and repeatedly changing his identity.
Why answers may never be found
In 2010, Rasmussen died in a California prison where he was
serving time for the 2002 murder of his girlfriend, Eunsoon Jun
in Richmond, California.
Denise Beaudin, Rasmussen's New Hampshire girlfriend, is
missing. She is also feared to be one of Rasmussen's murder
victims.
Beaudin was last seen in 1981 when she and Rasmussen suddenly
left New Hampshire. Beaudin was pregnant with another man's
child. Rasmussen gave up that little girl to a family in
California in 1986. That child is now an adult and it was her
research into her own history that led to the big break.
Today investigators are trying to learn more about Rasmussen in
the hope that it might unlock the mystery of the Allenstown
victims.
Recently new information has come to light about Rasmussen's
life in the Southwest in the early 1970's where he was married
and the father of a young family.
His family last saw Terry Rasmussen around Christmas 1975 in
Payson, Arizona, in the company of an unidentified woman.
New Hampshire detectives are trying to identify that woman
because she might be the mother of the middle child found in one
of the Allenstown barrels. That identification, in turn, could
be the key to identifying the adult woman and her two children.
From what is publicly known about Terry Rasmussen, he could be
responsible for seven homicides: the four Allenstown victims,
Eunsoon Jun, Denise Beaudin and the unknown Arizona woman.
There could be even more victims.
But right now, the priority is identifying the four people
thrown away in barrels in the woods of Allenstown, New
Hampshire.
If you have any information this case, call the New Hampshire
State Police Cold Case Unit at 603-223-3856.

A COLD WHODUNIT WITH NO WHO IT IS By Dan O'Brien The Union
Leader 18 Oct 2010
ALLENSTOWN -- Next month will mark 25 years since the remains of
a woman and a girl were found inside a 55-gallon metal drum
hidden in the woods of Bear Brook State Park.Fifteen years after
the gruesome 1985 discovery, the remains of two more children
were found -- also inside a metal drum -- less than 100 yards
away from where the first set of remains were discovered, off
Edgewood Drive. Authorities have yet to identify the remains,
but forensic analysis revealed all four victims were related.
While the recently-formed State Police Cold Case Unit has tried
to breathe new life into the frustrating investigation -- using
anthropologists to further analyze the remains in recent years
-- Trooper John Sonia says no progress will be made until
someone comes forward with the identities of the victims."We do
have a lot of evidence," Sonia said, "but really, in this type
of investigation, we need to establish who they are before we
can gain ground on anything."
A lot of things have changed since the grisly discovery was made
by a hunter Nov. 10, 1985. The first set of decomposed remains
-- of a white woman between the ages of 22 and 33 and a girl
between the ages of 8 and 10 -- were discovered behind a country
store that no longer exists."At that time, it was a pretty
active corner of Bear Brook," Sonia said.Forensic evidence
analysis and communication-sharing between different law
enforcement agencies weren't as advanced as they are now. And
for 15 years investigators operated on the theory that only two
people had been murdered.
Since the remains of two more girls -- one between the ages of 4
and 8, the other between 1 and 3 -- were found May 9, 2000,
authorities have taken their investigation to other parts of the
United States and Canada, still to no avail."You have an adult
and three children falling off the face of the planet," Sonia
said.The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children has
tried to assist. In recent years, Sonia said, an anthropologist
analyzed the four remains and theorized the victims might be of
Native-American descent.Because there is a large population of
Native-Americans in Canada, Sonia said, investigators are
speaking with Canadian authorities. The investigator said the
evidence points to the murders being domestic-violence related,
but detectives still don't know for sure.
"We are so close to Canada," he said. "We're leaning toward it
not being a local crime, or a local family, because nothing has
been turned up in 25 years."He said the Native-American angle is
one way to narrow down the victims' identity, but it comes with
a hurdle."You look up missing persons, and in Native-American
populations it often goes unreported," Sonia said. "They have a
culture of not speaking with police."Sonia, who has been
assigned to the Allenstown case for a few years, said it's not
clear how the first set of investigators originally missed
discovering the second set of remains, but pointed out that the
area looked a lot different back then.
Only the foundation of the country store remains today, and
Sonia said the area was littered with debris and other barrels
in 1985, making it easy to miss the second set. He said
investigators have gained ground in physical evidence, including
finding items of clothing and determining that the adult victim
most likely suffered blunt force trauma as a cause of death.
However, those pieces of evidence are almost meaningless until
the victims can be identified."We have a lot of evidence,
non-identification-wise, that will be utilized at some point,"
Sonia said, "but we have to ID who the victims are in order to
generate a suspect."

WOMAN, GIRL ARE MURDER VICTIMS
Manchester Union Leader Nov 13, 1985 (front page article)
Human remains discovered Sunday in Allenstown are two bodies, a
woman and a girl, both murdered. Attorney General Stephen
Merrill said yesterday. Merrill said the remains had been in the
woods a year or longer and are not those of Tammy Belanger, 8,
who disappeared in Exeter a year ago today. The murdered pair,
found by a hunter in woods near Bear Brook State Park, were a 23
to 33 year-old woman, 5 feet 4 to 5 feet 7, with curly light
brown hair and a 8 to 10 year-old girl, 4 feet 3, with light
brown or dark blonde hair. Both victims were white.
Indications are each had been killed by a blow to the head but
Merrill said he has not ruled out other injuries as the cause of
death.The bodies were not buried. They were wrapped in plastic,
were nude, and were found with no belongings that might provide
a clue as to who the victims were. Merrill said the condition of
the remains did not allow investigators to determine if sexual
abuse had occurred.
Dental records are being checked in hopes of establishing
identification and missing person records are being
cross-checked against the evidence available so far. Merrill
said investigators have “some substantial leads in the case” but
he also said a check of missing person reports in the area has
yielded “no positive findings.” He ruled out the possibility the
remains were those of Shirley McBride, 15, of Pittsfield, who
disappeared while visiting Concord about 16 months ago, or the
remains of Page Jennings, the daughter of Malcolm and Elizabeth
Jennings, Jackson innkeepers slain Jan. 16.
Merrill said investigators are fairly confident the Allenstown
bodies were placed at the scene at the same time. He said dental
records should indicate whether they are related. Investigators
initially thought the badly decomposed remains were one body but
Dr. Henry Ryan, Maine’s Chief Medical Examiner, and Dr. Marcella
Sorg, a Maine anthropologist, established that the grisly
contents of the plastic bag were actually two persons.
“They worked from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday, Nov. 11, and
concluded their work from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. today,” Merrill said
yesterday. “I really think they deserve a great deal of credit
for altering their schedules to accept the remains and work so
diligently to come to this conclusion.”
In the wake of a news leak late Sunday describing the remains as
those of a young girl, Merrill had strenuously denied
speculation that they might be those of Tammy Belanger, whose
disappearance on her way to school shocked the state and
precipitated a massive search. No clues in her disappearance
have yet surfaced.He also ruled out the possibility the remains
might be those of Shirley “Tippy” McBride. “These conclusions
were reached on disparities of height, hair color, and dental
records,” Merrill said.
An unofficial record kept by state police lists 180 missing
persons in New Hampshire, according to Capt. James Broderick.
Broderick said the actual number is not known because no central
agency keeps track of missing persons. The list of 180 was
compiled by state police personnel from the National Law
Enforcement Telecommunications System. Of the 180, an estimated
95 to 98 percent are under the age of 18 and are presumed to be
runaways, Broderick said. Broderick said not all missing persons
are listed on the Telecommunications System.
He also said that hunters in the Granite State find about two
bodies each year. “Some years we’re likely to find three or
four,” he said. “Most of the time it’s homicide although that
doesn’t always hold true.”

Bear Brook Jane Doe (adult)
Bear Brook Jane Doe was one of four female homicide victims
found in Allenstown, New Hampshire. She was the only adult
victim.
Contents[show]
Case
The woman was found dismembered in a barrel with the oldest of
the three children. The woman is believed to be the mother of
the oldest and youngest child, based on recent DNA testing.
The father of the middle child has been identified as Robert
"Bob" Evans, a convicted murderer and a suspected serial killer.
He is considered a suspect in these murders. He died in 2010. In
August 2017 "Robert Evans" had been identified as Terry Peder
Rasmussen who left his family in Arizona around 1974 and was
never seen again by his relatives.
It is theorized that her name may have been Elizabeth, since
Rasmussen listed this name as his spouse's at the time of his
arrest in 1980. The name may have been also of the middle
child's unidentified and unrecovered mother or maybe none of
these women- as it's possible that Evans lied about having a
wife and "Elizabeth" had actually never existed.

TIMELINE OF EVENTS
In the late 1970's, Evans arrived here in New Hampshire. He
resided at 925 Hayward St. in Manchester.
In 1980, Evans was arrested in February and June and listed his
spouse as Elizabeth Evans, though authorities do not know who
that is. In October of the same year, Evans was arrested again,
and did not list a spouse.
Evans and Beaudin disappeared together in 1981, but no missing
persons report was ever filed with authorities. The couple
disappeared with their daughter, then known as "Dawn", but Evans
later gave the daughter, now known as "Lisa", up for adoption.
In 1984 and 1985, Evans changed his name to Curtis Kimball. In
1985, Evans was arrested for drunk driving in California. He had
"Lisa" with him at the time. Around June or July of that year,
Evans abandoned "Lisa" at a trailer park in Scott's Valley,
California. The girl was placed into foster care and later
adopted.
In 1985, two unidentified bodies were found in a barrel in rural
Allenstown by Bear Brook State Park. One was an adult woman and
the other was a young girl.
In 1986, when California went to investigate Evans for
abandoning his child, he was no longer in the Santa Cruz area.
In September of 1986, Investigators confirmed a latent
fingerprint match between Gordon Jenson (Jensen) and print
obtained from individual arrested as Curtis Mayo Kimball in
1985.
In October of 1986, felony arrest warrants were put out for one
of Evans' aliases: Gordon Curtis Jenson.
In the press conference they said they lost track of Evans for
about two years. They don't have any investigative information
about his whereabouts during time period.
In 1988, Evans was arrested in San Luis Obispo, California for
vehicle theft. This time, his alias was Gerry Mockerman. The car
was stolen out of Idaho, confirming he spent some time in that
area.
In March of 1989, Evans was arrested on warrants out of Santa
Cruz, under the alias of Gerry Mockerman.
In October of 1990, Evans made parole after serving about 18
months of his three year sentence and took off the next day and
wasn't seen for a period of time.
Officials lost track of his whereabouts for a block of time and
were unsure of where he was during this time frame - Evans was
then a fugitive for 12 years.
In 2000, two more young girl's bodies were found in another
barrel within walking distance. The older woman was discovered
to be related to the oldest and the youngest child, but not the
middle child.
In August of 2001, Evans married Eunsoon Jun in Richmond,
California using the name Lawrence William Vanner. It was a
backyard marriage and no official paperwork was filed. He was
working in the neighborhood doing several odd jobs in this time
period, which is how he met Jun.
In September of 2002, Jun was found buried in her basement,
partially dismembered. Lawrence Vanner was fingerprinted and
found to be Curtis Kimball.
In November of 2002, Evans was arrested for Jun's murder.
In June of 2003, Evans was convicted of Jun's murder and was
sentenced to 15 years to life in prison.
In August of 2003, DNA testing determined Evans and Lisa were
not biologically related. San Bernardino COSO initiated an
investigation into the true identity of Lisa Jenson.
On December 28, 2010, Evans died in prison of natural causes.
In 2014, San Bernardino COSO enlisted the assistance of
DNAadoption.com and one of their Search Angels, a genetic
genealogist to identify links to relatives of Lisa.
In 2016, A first cousin and a grandfather of Lisa were
identified in New Hampshire which led to proving that Lisa is
"Dawn Beaudin" – daughter of missing person, Denise Beaudin.
In the summer of 2016, San Bernardino COSO contacted NHSP and
Manchester PD regarding the identification of Dawn Beaudin and
connection with missing female, Denise Beaudin and suspect
convicted of homicide in 2002.
In October of 2016 – Evans’ DNA profile compared to all three
minor female victims from Allenstown case. Results showed Evans
was the father to non-maternally related child, the middle
child, found in 2000.
In December of 2016, police file a missing person report for
Beaudin.
In January of 2017, Foster announced a search of 925 Hayward
Street in Manchester in connection with the missing person's
case.
