What's up, you guys? I'm Haley this. I hope you are having a good day.

I am very excited about today's case, not because it's happy by any means. But it was just, it was so interesting

when I was researching it and it's actually going to tie into the case I cover next week.

So it's not like technically a two-parter, but kind of like they're related and you'll find out

why. And I had never heard of this, but it's really wild. And there's

genetic genealogy involved. There's a lot of stuff. It's also obviously extremely heartbreaking,

of course, but there also are, it also involves the death of three children. So just a warning, we will be discussing

that, but not in too much detail. And I actually discovered this case because I was researching

a serial killer, which is what I'll be covering next week. And I decided I need to cover this case

first. And it just like kind to cover this case first.

And it just like kind of came together very interestingly.

So this is the Bear Brook murders, also referred to as the Allens Town 4.

Okay.

So Bear Brook State Park is in Allentown, New Hampshire. And it's one of the state's largest parks spanning 10,000 acres, and it's filled with campsites, historic buildings, a stream called Bear Brook that runs through it, hence the name.

And it's beautiful.

But despite the park's beauty, what is perhaps what the park is most quote unquote

known for is the murder victims who were discovered inside the park. So this all started in

mid-1985 when a few kids were playing in the woods of Bear Brook near the trailer park they lived in.

The group, including 11-year-old Jesse Morgan, were playing when they made a discovery.

They found a metal 55-gallon drum, which, if you don't know what that is, it's like a cylindrical

shipping drum.

Right.
