Bear Brook (podcast)
Bear Brook is an American true crime podcast covering the Bear Brook murders. The podcast is hosted by Jason Moon and was released through New Hampshire Public Radio. Moon began covering the cold case in 2015, and later started the podcast. The case was eventually solved by two women at almost the same time, and the results are covered throughout the podcast episodes.Background
In 1985, two bodies were found in a blue barrel in the woods of Allenstown, New Hampshire, in Bear Brook State Park. In 2005, a second barrel was found containing two more bodies. It was determined that the bodies were that of a woman and three young girls. In 2015, Jason Moon began reporting on the murders after it was announced that authorities were using new forensic techniques in order to try to identify the bodies.
In 2017, Moon and the editorial team for New Hampshire Public Radio began turning his reporting work into the podcast. Eventually, the murderer was revealed to be Terry Peder Rasmussen.
