For more than forty years, Terry Rasmussen evaded police and preyed on countless women and children.

He became known as the chameleon killer for his ability to blend in with his surroundings and disappear.

In this bonus episode we explore eight murders and disappearances linked to Rasmussen and the trail of destruction he left behind.

And be sure to listen to last month's episode about the Bear Brook case before listening to this one, because there's a lot of overlap!

This episode originally aired as a Patreon bonus episode in November 2020.

Four bodies in two barrels were found 15 years apart in Bear Brook State Park in New Hampshire. This 35-year-old case is only partly solved, but what is solved is because of Forensic Genealogy.

This month we’re looking into the incredible story of the Bear Brook Murders and their investigation, how forensic genealogy was first used as a crime-fighting tool, and some of the potential risks and dangers of this shiny new technology, which is perhaps one of the biggest developments in forensic science since the development of DNA profiling.
