I attempted to overlap the two isotope maps from Oak Ridge
Research. The areas don't actually have a lot of common
geographic areas. The states where the woman and girls exactly
combined with the daughter of Evans are New York, Vermont, and
Maine. It looks like the woman in the barrel was probably from
New England, according to the isotopes.

A research librarian who conducted some detective work outside
of her day job has helped to uncover the identities of three
missing persons killed in New Hampshireduring the notorious
"Bear Brook murders."
Rebekah Heath made the discovery last October after being
transfixed on the murders committed by Terrance "Terry"
Rasmussen, who killed three children and one mother and placed
them in barrels between 1985 and 2000 at Bear Brook State Park.
The real life Nancy Drew helped authorities determine the
identities of the three victims as 24-year-old Marlyse Elizabeth
Honeychurch, AKA Marlyse McWaters, as well as her daughters
6-year-old Marie Elizabeth Vaughn and 1-year-old Sarah Lynn
McWaters, according to 9news.
"I still can't believe it," Heath said about the case on Friday.
Detectives say the breakthrough was a result of DNA testing,
genealogy research, information from relatives and the research
from Heath.
The cold case hadn't broke any new ground since Rasmussen died
of natural causes in 2010.
To solve the case, Heath first started searching message boards
for keywords like "California" and "missing sister" where she
started making a list of possible victims.
"I would just go through that list and then I would start
searching to see if they had public records, if the person was
alive, see if I could find any record for their existence,"
Heath said. "If not, then I would pursue it a little further and
reach out to the person who had originally posted looking for
the loved ones."
After conducting more research, she noticed a relative looking
for Sarah McWaters and her mother Marylse McWaters; the latter,
she discovered, was the mother of the third victim, Marie
Vaughn.
She followed up on leads regarding the trio, but dropped her
search when she didn't get much of a response in the Bear Brook
murders Facebook group.
That changed a year later, when she was reminded about the
relative looking for Sarah McWaters after listening to a New
Hampshire Public Radio podcast about the murders.
"At that point I was like, I need to reach out to this woman,"
Heath said.
She eventually found the woman, who said that Marylse McWaters
had married a man with the last name Rasmussen.
"Right there, my stomach jumped," Heath said. "It just rocked. I
knew right away. There's no way that a woman goes missing with
those children with a guy with that last name, Rasmussen. It's
just way too coincidental."
She didn't mention anything to the relative, but within hours
she contacted police in San Bernardino, Calif., who were already
looking through DNA material from the family of Marie Vaughn.
From that information and the help of a genetic genealogist,
Barbara Rae-Venter, detectives were able to confirm the
identities of the victims, said Attorney General Jeffrey
Strelzin.
"Her work and our work converged, and it turns out that she was
correct," Strelzin told CNN. "She did some great work on the
case and some great sleuthing."
