• The unidentified victims who remained nameless for decades, and the heartbreak of families searching for answers
• The tangled, nomadic life of Terry Rasmussen, known under numerous aliases including “Bob Evans,” and how he evaded detection for years
• The pioneering use of forensic genealogy that revolutionized cold-case investigations and finally brought identities — and truths — to light
• Connections between Rasmussen’s crimes, missing persons, and unsolved cases across multiple states
• How the Bear Brook investigation reshaped modern forensic science and inspired a new era in criminal justice
A chilling dive into a case defined by mystery, deception, and scientific breakthrough — and a reminder that even the coldest trails can eventually lead to justice.
