Terry Peder Rasmussen

Terry Peder Rasmussen (December 23, 1943 – December 28, 2010) was an American convicted murderer and suspected serial killer who was convicted of one murder, and linked to at least six more in a series of crimes that stretched across the contiguous United States between 1978 and 2002. Due to his use of many aliases, most notably "Bob Evans", Rasmussen is known as the Chameleon Killer.

Rasmussen is the prime suspect in the Bear Brook murders, which took place in New Hampshire sometime between 1978 and 1980. During this period, he was in a relationship with Marlyse Honeychurch. The bodies of Honeychurch, her two daughters, and his own daughter were discovered in two barrels in the Allenstown area between 1985 and 2000. Although the Allenstown barrels were discovered during his lifetime, Rasmussen was not linked until 2017, when DNA profiling connected him to the crime. Subsequent investigations led to three of the Bear Brook victims being identified in 2019; the identity of the fourth victim, Rasmussen's daughter, was confirmed in 2025 as Rea Rasmussen. Rea's mother, Pepper Reed, disappeared from California in the late 1970s and is also suspected to be a victim of Rasmussen.

Rasmussen left New Hampshire in 1981 with girlfriend Denise Beaudin, who subsequently disappeared and is presumed dead. He abducted Beaudin's daughter and took her to California, later abandoning her in 1986, for which he was imprisoned on child abandonment charges. Following his parole in 1990, he absconded and remained a fugitive for more than a decade. In 2002, Rasmussen murdered another girlfriend, Eunsoon Jun; he was convicted of her murder and sentenced to 15 years to life imprisonment. He died in prison in 2010.
