Denise Beaudin was 23 and living in Manchester, New Hampshire, when she was last seen on November 26, 1981. She and her infant daughter had spent Thanksgiving with Denise’s family in Goffstown with her boyfriend, Robert Bob Evans. On December 1 family members checked her Hayward Street apartment and found no one home; they assumed Denise and Evans had left because of money problems and did not report her missing.

Decades later Evans was identified as Terry Peder Rasmussen, a convicted murderer linked to other killings. Rasmussen died in 2010 while serving time for an unrelated murder. Investigators say Denise likely became one of Rasmussen’s victims, but her body has never been found. Denise’s daughter was identified in 2016 and confirmed as her biological child.

Key unresolved questions include when and where Denise disappeared after leaving New Hampshire in 1981 and whether any physical evidence remains. Anyone with information about Denise, her daughter’s early years, or the couple’s movements after Thanksgiving 1981 is asked to come forward.
