Beaudin’s family assumed she left town with Evans to avoid financial troubles, and they did not report her as missing, authorities said. By October 1986, California authorities were investigating the drifter for child abandonment, and felony warrants were issued for his arrest. He was paroled in 1990 and fell off authorities’ radar for 12 years as a fugitive, according to the New Hampshire State Police. It is unclear who the mother of the drifter’s child is, and authorities fear she too was killed, Strezlin said. There could be more victims, especially given the long gaps in authorities’ knowledge of his whereabouts, Strezlin said.
