Bodies keep showing up across state lines

It began with a Facebook group.

What started as casual chatter quickly turned sinister. Members noticed a disturbing pattern. Bodies kept appearing across New England. Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island soon became part of the horrifying puzzle.

Since early March, authorities have recovered 11 bodies. Many were women. Some were discovered just minutes from state borders. The timing and locations left the public terrified.

Fear spreads as experts weigh in

Rumors exploded online. True-crime fans and amateur sleuths raced to connect the dots. The idea of a New England serial killer began circulating fast.

Dr. Katherine Ramsland, a forensic psychology professor, says the fears are understandable.

โ€œPeople remember Gilgo Beach,โ€ Ramsland explains. โ€œCover-ups and corruption there make people doubt the police now.โ€

That infamous Long Island case, botched by law enforcement, left the public uneasy. Now, suspicions are rising again.

March was only the beginning

On March 6, the nightmare began.

Paige Fannon, 35, was found in Connecticutโ€™s Norwalk River. The same day, a human skull was discovered in Massachusetts.

By March 19, Suzanne Wormserโ€™s torso surfaced in a suitcase in Groton, Connecticut.

Within a day, Denise Leary, 59, was found dead near her New Haven home. Six months had passed since she vanished.

March 26 added another grim discovery. Michele Romano, 56, turned up in Rhode Island.

As March ended, April brought even more horror.

Bodies continued appearing in April

April proved no better.

On April 9, an unidentified manโ€™s remains surfaced in Killingly, Connecticut. The following day, another unknown body appeared in Framingham, Massachusetts.

Soon after, police found more bodies in Rhode Island and Springfield, Massachusetts. Meggan Meredith, 45, was among them.

On April 25, authorities pulled Samuel Stovall, 51, from the Mill River. Just a day later, 72-year-old Mary Colasanto was found in Rocky Hill, Connecticut.

As more bodies surfaced, public fear skyrocketed.

Online sleuths fuel serial killer theory

The internet erupted.

A Facebook group titled โ€œNew England Serial Killerโ€ quickly drew over 68,000 members. On TikTok, users spread theories like wildfire.

Dr. Ramsland calls it dangerous. โ€œThis has become a game to some,โ€ she says. โ€œBut there are real victims here.โ€

Some families have fought back. Michele Romanoโ€™s sister angrily denied rumors online. โ€œShe was not killed by a serial killer,โ€ she posted.

Police forced to act after wild posts

The online buzz pressured police.

An anonymous confession posted in the Facebook group triggered a massive search. Cadaver dogs combed Massachusetts beaches. Yet, no graves were found.

Another hoax video showed fake blood in an abandoned building. Again, police had to investigate. It turned out to be spilled iodine.

Nevertheless, authorities could not ignore the claims.


New England serial killer? Experts say the case is still wide open

Despite everything, experts remain cautious.

Dr. Ramsland and Dr. Ann Burgess agree. There simply is not enough evidence yet to confirm a New England serial killer exists.

โ€œEach case must be looked at individually,โ€ Burgess warns. Many bodies still lack identities, causes of death, or signs of homicide.

However, they admit the volume of deaths is alarming.

โ€œWe need to keep watching,โ€ Burgess says. โ€œMore bodies could mean something serious.โ€

Meanwhile, police urge calm. But behind closed doors, agencies may already be comparing notes.

โ€œIf links emerge, a task force will form fast,โ€ Ramsland says. โ€œBut right now, theyโ€™re not showing their cards.โ€

For now, the chilling question hangs in the air. Is a serial killer haunting New England? Or is this tragic cluster just coincidence? Only time โ€” and more grim discoveries โ€” will tell.
