Growing Public Concern Despite Police Reassurance

The discovery of ten bodies across three New England states since March has sparked widespread fear about a potential serial killer operating in the region. The remains have been found in various locations throughout Connecticut, Rhode Island, and Massachusetts, with most identified victims being female. Despite the alarming number of discoveries in such a short timeframe, law enforcement officials have consistently stated they have found no evidence linking these cases together and repeatedly emphasized there is no known threat to public safety.

Online speculation has exploded, with a Facebook group dedicated to the topic growing to over 67,500 members. The group, initially called “New England Serial Killer,” has become a hotbed for theories and amateur sleuthing. Google searches for “New England serial killer” spiked around April 7 as public interest in the cases grew. Police officials have expressed concern about the role social media is playing in spreading misinformation about the discoveries.

Investigation of Online Claims

The situation escalated when Narragansett police in Rhode Island were alerted to anonymous posts in the Facebook group suggesting multiple bodies were buried in the Black Point area of Scarborough Beach. The department took swift action to investigate the claims, despite signs pointing to a potential hoax. Detectives collaborated with Rhode Island State Police cadaver dogs to conduct an extensive search of the area, which ultimately yielded no evidence of clandestine graves.

Detective Sergeant Brent Kuzman of the Narragansett Police Department noted that the anonymous post had several indicators suggesting it was a hoax, including references to “Rick Rolling” and even spelling out the word “hoax” using the first letter of each paragraph. Despite these red flags, authorities proceeded with a full investigation, later confirming they had also been in communication with the FBI regarding the matter.

Recent Discoveries Adding to Concerns

The most recent discoveries have further fueled public anxiety. On April 27, Rocky Hill Police Department responded to a report of a body in the Connecticut River near Ferry Park. The identity and cause of death remain pending determination by the Chief Medical Examiner’s Office. Another body was discovered in Taunton, Massachusetts, with details about the identity still unknown as investigators work to gather more information.

Law enforcement officials across the three states continue to investigate each case individually while monitoring for any potential connections. Connecticut State Police reiterated that “there is no information at this time suggesting any connection to similar remains discoveries, and there is also no known threat to the public at this time.” Authorities have cautioned against the spread of unverified claims on social media, which they warn can significantly disrupt legitimate investigative efforts and create unnecessary public panic.
