The Chameleon Killer:Terry Rasmussen

⚠️ Content Warning: This episode contains graphic descriptions of murder, dismemberment, and the killing of multiple children including a toddler. This is one of the most disturbing cases in Echos of the Past history. Listener discretion is strongly advised. New Hampshire. Bear Brook State Park. November 1985. A hunter found a rusted 55-gallon drum hidden in the woods. Inside: a woman and a young girl. Beaten beyond recognition. Decapitated. Wrapped in plastic like garbage. No missing persons report matched them. No one came forward. For fifteen years, they had no names. Then in May 2000, investigators found a second barrel — hidden just 100 yards from the first. Inside: two more children. Four victims. A mother. Her two daughters. And a child whose own father would one day be her killer. His name was Terry Peder Rasmussen. He went by Bob Evans, Curtis Kimball, Gordon Jenson, Larry Vanner. He was an electrician, a handyman, a boyfriend, a stepfather. He had twinkling blue eyes and a soft voice. He smiled at neighbors and tucked children into bed. He killed his girlfriends. He killed their children. He killed his own two-year-old daughter and put her body in a barrel next to the woman he murdered. He buried another woman under hundreds of pounds of cat litter in her own garage. He kidnapped a six-month-old baby and raised her as his own — then abandoned her with strangers when she was five, like she meant nothing. And by the time anyone knew who he really was, he was already dead. In this solo episode, Bubah tells the full story — the Bear Brook barrels, the decades of silence, the DNA breakthroughs that gave four victims their names back, the murder that finally caught him, and the question that still has no answer: how many more are out there?
