Officials Release New Sketches On NH Cold Case

CONCORD, N.H. (CBS/AP) — The attorney general's office has released new, more detailed sketches of four unidentified bodies found in Allenstown, New Hampshire, in 1985 and 2000 and information about where the victims likely lived.

Authorities haven't been able to identify the bodies, a young woman and three girls, found in two metal drums near Bear Brook State Park. Two were found in 1985; the others were found 15 years later.

"Thirty years is not a period that causes us so much concern that we think it can't be solved," New Hampshire State Police Lt. Joe Ebert said.

Investigators say the oldest and youngest girl are likely the woman's children; the middle child isn't maternally related. New information shows they were killed sometime between 1980 and 1984.

Investigators say the adult and two related children likely lived in the Northeast; the middle child likely grew up around the Dakotas or Nebraska. All were in the Northeast in the last two weeks to three months of their lives.
