In the middle of New Hampshire, there's this state park, Bearbrook State Park.

It's huge, it's covered in thick forests, and it's full of all sorts of nooks and crannies

to get lost in.

It's the type of place where you can find some of the last remaining rattlesnakes in New

England, where kids play hide and seek on four wheelers.

And where, in 1985, a horrible discovery was made.

30 years ago, this month, a mystery began when the remains of an adult and a child were

discovered in a bag next to an overturned 55 gallon drum in Great Bearbrook State Park.

You know how this is major?

This isn't somebody parking in the fire lane.

This is, we've got bodies, we have people, we don't even know their names.

I think the most frustrating thing is we didn't know who they were.

What grandmother let this happen, or what neighbor, or what bus driver, or you know, I mean,

where were all of you?

This is a guy who was able to pick his targets and get what he wanted.

And that says that that is someone of terrifying intelligence.

I mean, this is the biggest step forward for solving crime since the discovery of DNA itself.

We're going to look back on these 20 years, 30 years from now and say this is where

it's starting.

From New Hampshire Public Radio, Bearbrook, a podcast about an unsolved murder that's

changing how murders will be investigated forever.
