CONCORD, N.H. — Authorities piecing together the life of a deceased man suspected of killing at least six women and children are going to discuss efforts to identify four victims found in barrels near a New Hampshire state park.
Terry Peder Rasmussen died in a California prison in 2010. Authorities believe his victims included an unnamed woman and three girls found near Bear Brook State Park in Allenstown.
Authorities are discussing their efforts at a news conference Thursday.
In 1985, a hunter discovered the first two bodies - the woman and a girl believed to be 9 or 10. In 2000, an investigator found the other two girls - one believed to be 2 or 3 and the other 3 or 4.
