40 years ago, two bodies were discovered inside a barrel near New Hampshire's Bear Brook State Park.

Fifteen years after that, another barrel was found with two more bodies inside.

The Bear Brook murders baffled detectives and internet sleuths for decades.

investigated to a close.

This is it.

This is her.

This is the baby that we have been looking to name.

And revealing a new mystery.

This investigation is not over.

I'm Jason Moon.
