We know that "Elizabeth" signed for a certified letter in 1/80. LE has not disclosed the address this letter was delivered to. Presumably this was different from the Edwards St address Rasmussen/Evans lived in in 1981 with Denise. Certainly LE has made an effort to trace the landlord at that time and neighbors to find out what they remember. Whatever information was obtained was apparently insufficient to identify her.
Through whatever records are available, I would think LE would be able to track down some people in the immediate neighborhood (like they did with the Edwards St apt). If they were absolutely unable to identify anyone who had any recollection of who lived there during that time, I would find it somewhat suggestive that no "Evans family" actually lived there. It would be interesting to know whether or not that housing unit was suitable for a couple with 2 or 3 children.
It is not that unusual for a man to follow what ever work is available while leaving his wife and family in a permanent housing arrangement where costs might be lower and she would have a support network available. It wouldn't be that unusual for a woman to include her husband's child from an earlier relationship in such an arrangement. In this case it would probably be close enough for regular drive back. It would also be in the same O2 16-18 zone as Manchester.
There are many possibilities if we hypothesize that the Bear Brook 4 were not living in Southern NH when they were killed. We could better gauge how likely that was if we had more information about Rasmussen/Evans' living situation in 1980. Perhaps LE will see fit to release more information.
