A048937 was one of the five one-term sequences that I culled from the 
Integer-Sequence database recently:

%I A048937
%S A048937 13078260
%N A048937 Vampire numbers having exactly three distinct pairs of fangs.
%D A048937 C. A. Pickover, "Vampire Numbers." Ch. 30 in Keys to 
Infinity. New York: Wiley, pp. 227-231, 1995.

    Mathematics.</a>
%Y A048937 Cf. A014575, A048933, ..., A048939.

%A A048937 Eric W. Weisstein (eric at weisstein.com)

A web-search came up with Walter Schneider's 
http://wschnei.de/digit-related-numbers/vampire.html in which he stated 
"The search for the 12 digit vampire numbers was done at 17th February 
2002 and lasted 6 hours and 30 minutes on a Pentium III with 550 MHz." 
He then summarizes his findings in a little table which indicated 15 
twelve-digit vampire numbers "with 3 different pairs of fangs".

So I emailed him and asked him to share. I just received his reply:

Now I know there might be issues with the initial-zero and the 
terminal-multiple-zero entries but, once these are resolved, there 
should be a few more terms in A048937.
