New Hampshire.

You can start the story in California.

It is a sprawling, interconnected web of anecdotes that sort of unbelievably connect.

Police say the hunter discovered the bodies wrapped in plastic in a barrel.

If you try to write this as a fictional story, I think people would say it's too unbelievable, but it's the way it happened.

Police were 15 years into the case and still very much but Step one.

Police had a few initial theories, but they really didn't pan out.

No one in the community seemed to know anything about who these people might have been.

No, is missing.

Who are you?

Who are the victims and those responsible for this?

Tips would come in, or people would have ideas.

You exploit those until they just simply ended on.

Then the case would essentially go back on the shelf again.

No one has been able to identify the body is a mystery bothers residents today.

It's cold.

This is the definition of a cold case.

Bat changes in the year 2000.

A state trooper by the name of John Cody is sort of informally assigned the Allens town case to look into.

The first thing that I did was actually go to the evidence repositories to see exactly what the barrel looked like.

That barrel was dark in color on the inside and rusted on the outside.

Was very surreal, that a mother and daughter were actually inside the barrel itself, disposed of like common trash, and that those things don't happen in New Hampshire.

I made the decision to go out and try to locate the actual area that this barrel was found in their break State Park.

You're torm between the beauty that you're seeing as you're walking and knowledge that this area is actually where two victims were disposed off in 1985.

This is the area that the hunter found.

Farrell.

As I came back out, I noticed just the terrain difference here off to the left, and it kind of drew my attention.

So I started to walk out towards that area.

I was just about to wrap it up for the day, and there was like, ah, humping the terrain.

It wasn't something that was natural.

As I'm walking towards it, you're tryingto talk yourself out of that.

It's probably nothing I saw the black plastic, and that's when my heart started to race a little bit.

Peel back a little of a plastic and there was a bright white substance inside.

I lit it up with my flashlight, and I remember distinctly seeing the outline of a bone.

I started to think This doesn't look good.

And then when I peel back the plastic a little more on illuminated with my flashlight.

It was very evident that this was a human both.

There was a 1,000,000 things going through my mind.

Was this an area that somebody was dumping their victims?

Did we have a serial killer?

So what John Cody finds in this second barrel are two more victims to more Children were found in another barrel.

All were victims of homicide, two little girls, one estimated to be between the ages of one and three, the other between the ages of two and four.

Like the other victims, they were killed with blunt force trauma to the head and stuffed in these barrels and wrapped in plastic.

So what was an adult female?

And a little girl is now on adult female and three little Children, and the obvious place that that takes investigators is to imagine the business of family.

It certainly was a big turning point in the case.

There had to be a missing persons report out there somewhere.

Unfortunately, they quickly ran out of leads.

And, somewhat surprisingly, we're not finding any missing persons case that match.

How can you have a mother and three daughters?

A whole family just disappear.

Who out there is looking for them?

And where are they?

There is a neighbor.

There's a sibling, There's an ant.

There's a pediatrician.

Somebody knows who these kids are.

If this could happen to these people could happen to somebody else around here.

There's something so wicked going on right now in this small town to understand how this case is going to get solved.

We have to go back to California.

They're a woman named Monsoon.

June is introducing her new boyfriend to her family.

Soon is probably the closest friend I've maybe ever had.

We met in a ceramics class at a community center in Richmond, California Munson was in her mid forties.

She worked as a chemist.

She was an immigrant from Korea, was a free spirit.

We always said She was like a bohemian.

She loved to explore religions, explore people, different cultures.

This woman went around the whole world by herself.

But she was.

She was, like, full of almost opposite contrast.

She was really uneasy about trying to meet guys.

She was lonely, She didn't find the love of her life, and I think that opened her up to be vulnerable to people who would take advantage of her.

When there was this new boyfriend, a guy by the name of Larry Vanner, she wants to introduce him to the family.

But right away it doesn't.

It doesn't go well.

I opened the door and saw his face.

I had a Children down my back that I've never in my life ever had before.

And he stuck out his hand to shake my hand, and I saw the long, dirty fingernails that just just creeped me out.

Larry would just grab and gobble up everything on the table and belch and eight more, and then he'd go sit on the couch and I just shake my head.

Just a few months later, Bunsen was becoming more and more estranged from her family and also her friends, Rosewood call the house and Larry would make a different excuse each time for White.

Johnson wasn't there.

Well, she's busy taking care of her mother, or she was going to get some therapeutic.

Okay.

She decided she didn't like me anymore and didn't want me in her life.

Who could believe in for one second Rose ultimately rule quite suspicious of that that she issued on ultimatum to Larry.

I want you I want to consume to tell me that she's done with our relationship.

Our I'm going to get the sheriff involved.

Ultimately, what she did was call the police.

Detectives don't realize is that this is just the tip of the iceberg.

All right, Larry.

Hi, everyone.
