About this episode

This is the first short update in the story of the Bear Brook murders that we’ll be producing to let listeners know about any breaking news in the case. 

Bear Brook has been named an Apple Podcasts Series Essential.

Bear Brook, hosted by Jason Moon, is the critically-acclaimed true crime podcast from New Hampshire Public Radio. 

Season 1 - Two barrels. Four Bodies. And a cold case that’s changing how murders will be investigated forever.

Season 2: A True Crime Story - Jason Carroll is serving life in prison for a murder he says he didn’t commit. The only evidence against him? His own taped confession. More than 30 years later, is it possible to get to the truth – and who gets to tell it?

Stephen King called both seasons “the best true crime podcasts I've ever heard. Brilliant, involving, hypnotic.” The New Yorker said season one “stands out for its ambition, complexity, and thoughtful tone.”
