A terrible discovery in the woods of New Hampshire.

That's how the first season of Bear Brook begins.

It's also how another separate mystery began, around the same time, in the summer of 1988.

In an area just 15 miles from Bear Brook State Park,

police were called to the scene of a different murder.

A woman, seven months pregnant, was found stabbed and strangled.

This time, the case didn't go cold.

Police solved the mystery.

They tracked down the killers and got them to confess.

She struggled.

Jason joined the knife in her back, stabbed her again, I choked her, fell to the ground.

How many times did you give her?

I'm stopping her.

All right. But what if the police were wrong? I'm not. All right.

But what if the police were wrong?

What if the confessions were just a story?

From New Hampshire Public Radio, Bear Brook Season 2, a true crime story.

I'm Jason Moon.

A story about a man who's been in prison for more than three decades because of what he said to police as a 19-year-old.

A story about the power of words on tape. They were going to be continued and repeated attacks that the police coerced, intimidated,

promise, threatened.

Mothers will do whatever they have to do to try to protect the kids.
