Russell Bean, age 26, was last seen alive on September 15, 1978. His whereabouts were undetermined until a deathbed statement by Clifton Chambers in 1988, in which he implicated his son, Robert Chambers, for killing Russell, and identified the location of Russell's body.
In March 1988, the police obtained a search warrant and on March 15, 1988, located the remains of Russell Bean on the property of Robert Chambers, Clifton's son, on Newell Pond Road in Marlow NH. Robert Chambers was the part-time police chief in Marlow and Gilsum when Russell's body was found. Robert Chambers was arrested for the murder of Russell Bean, but he was never indicted or tried on the charge. The homicide remains open.
