Rebekah Heath is a research librarian by day, amateur detective by night. 9News

In January 2017, investigators announced that a man named Bob Evans had likely killed the four female victims discovered in Bear Brook State Park. In August of that year, they announced that "Bob Evans" was an alias for Terrence "Terry" Rasmussen.

For years, helping connect people to their missing loved ones had been a hobby of Heath's. Combined with her interest in the Rasmussen case, she got to work on trying to find potential matches for the victims in November 2017. "If not, then I would pursue it a little further and reach out to the person who had originally posted looking for the loved ones."

"Right there, my stomach jumped," Heath said. "It just rocked. I knew right away. There's no way that a woman goes missing with those children with a guy with that last name, Rasmussen. It's just way too coincidental."
