Very suspicious : Human remains discovered near Taylor Swift s mansion amid fears of a New England serial killer

Get the Full StoryThe discovery of human remains near pop star Taylor Swift s Rhode Island mansion has raised serious public concern about the possibility of a serial killer active in New England. On Wednesday morning, police in Westerly responded to reports of what might be human remains on Everett Avenue in the Watch Hill neighborhood. According to NBC10, that spot is roughly 0.3 miles from Swift s home. Officers found what looked like a human leg bone. The remains were gathered and sent to the Rhode Island Medical Examiner s Office for further examination. Although Westerly police first said they did not suspect any foul play, some residents have doubted this claim because of how disturbing the discovery was. According to Page Six, one local, Taylor Day, said they did not believe the police s statement. It s just something very out of the ordinary for Westerly. I would never expect anything like that especially not in Watch Hill would definitely disagree with that finding a leg is very suspicious. Serial killer possibly getting closer to Taylor Swift s home By April, the remains of eight women had been found in New England. This pattern has sparked a lot of online speculation about a possible serial killer, especially since reports say several of the victims were women. The discovery near Swift s home is the third such case in Rhode Island, adding to five cases in both Massachusetts and Connecticut. Two of the Massachusetts cases happened in the small town of Taunton. Even as public fear grows, officials have repeatedly said there is no proof connecting the different cases and have insisted there is no known danger to the public. However, some have questioned this, including a former FBI agent who pointed out that not enough information has been shared with the public to calm the rising speculation.

The police even searched a beach to try to find more bodies. In one related case, Donald Coffel was arrested in connection with the death of his roommate, Suzanne Wormser, whose dismembered body was found in a suitcase in Connecticut. Police said this death resulted from an argument over crack cocaine. Coffel, who had cancer, died in jail soon after his arrest. While this arrest closed one case, it does little to ease worries about the many other unexplained deaths and remains found across the region. The absence of clear links between the cases and the limited details released by law enforcement keeps feeding the sense of uncertainty and fear.
