Summary based on the NamUs case record (MP36410) and 22 other sources
Denise Beaudin, a 23-year-old woman from Manchester, New Hampshire, was last seen on November 26, 1981. She, along with her infant daughter and her boyfriend, Robert "Bob" Evans, spent Thanksgiving with her family in Goffstown. Shortly after, Denise's family tried to visit her at her apartment on Hayward Street on December 1, but found no one home. At the time, her family assumed she and Evans had left due to financial difficulties, and she was not reported missing.

It wasn’t until decades later that more disturbing details emerged. Robert "Bob" Evans was later identified as Terry Peder Rasmussen, a convicted murderer and suspected serial killer connected to the infamous Bear Brook murders in New Hampshire. Despite Rasmussen's death in 2010 while serving time for another murder, investigators believe that Denise likely fell victim to him, although her body has never been found. Denise's daughter, who had been raised by others, was eventually identified in 2016, confirming her as Denise's biological child.

Denise's case remains unsolved, but it is widely believed she met with foul play at the hands of Rasmussen sometime after leaving New Hampshire in 1981.
