On November 10, 1985, a hunter was finishing up an unsuccessful day in Bear Brook State Park in Allenstown, New Hampshire. Walking along a roadway he passed by a long forgotten store that had been burned down. He paused as he heard an excitement rise up from children who were playing in the area from a nearby from a trailer park. The children were rolling around a 55 gallon steel drum. The lid broke free and the children ran off screaming. Curious, the hunter approached the barrel and feeling that the drum had contents he proceeded to reach for the contents. Inside found a plastic garbage partially ripped open which showed the skeletal remains of an adult female and the partially skeletonized body of a young child.
