Summary

On November 10, 1985, a hunter walking near the edge of Bear Brook State Park in Allenstown, New Hampshire, stumbled upon a rusted 55-gallon barrel tipped over in the woods. Inside, he found the skeletal remains of a woman and a young girl, both wrapped in plastic. Authorities searched for answers, but the victims remained unidentified, and the case went cold. Then, 15 years later, investigators returned to the scene and made a chilling discovery—another barrel, just 150 yards away, containing the remains of two more young girls. And as the investigation continued, the dark truth behind the Bear Brook murders slowly began to unravel.

Hello, everybody. Welcome back to Crime Weekly. I'm Stephanie Harlow. And I'm Derek Levaser. So today we're picking up with part two of the Bear Brook murders case, also known as the Allentown 4.

0:24.2

I'm going to give you a quick kind of 30-second review of what we talked about in part one.

0:30.4

In 1985, a hunter stumbled upon a rusted 55-gallon barrel near the edge of Bear Brook State Park in New Hampshire.

0:38.0

Inside were the bodies of a woman and a young girl.

0:41.7

Fifteen years later, another barrel was discovered just 150 yards away,

this time containing the remains of two more children.

0:51.3

For decades, investigators worked to uncover the identities of the victims and the person

responsible for their murders. But meanwhile, across the country in California, authorities are trying

to solve another mystery. The true identity of a young woman named Lisa Jensen, who had been

abandoned at an RV park in 1986 by the man she believed was her father.

The two investigations were unfolding on opposite sides of the country with no knowledge of

one another, but soon they would collide in a way than no one could have imagined.

Yeah, that was kind of the mystery of that case where you have these two separate incidences where you have the two barrels years apart and you have Insouins murder as well.

1:34.8

And yet you have this connecting bridge that could be Lisa.

1:39.4

And so I'm interested to see.

1:41.4

I did not look up anything before this.

1:43.1

I'm going to be honest with our audience here.

1:44.7

We're changing.

1:45.3

We're doing all this stuff.

1:46.0

Can we be honest here?

1:46.8

I know you hate when I do that.

1:48.5

I don't hate when you do it, but.
