On May 14, a human leg bone was discovered just 0.3 miles away from Taylor Swift’s mansion in Watch Hill, Rhode Island, raising public alarm regarding a potential serial killer operating in New England.

Authorities collected the remains and forwarded them to the medical examiner, although they currently assert that foul play is not suspected.

This finding is the most recent in a troubling trend. Since March, there have been 13 distinct reports of human remains across Rhode Island, Massachusetts, and Connecticut—these include bodies located in forests, rivers, and even within suitcases. The victims comprise both men and women, with causes of death varying from gunshot wounds to circumstances that remain undetermined.

Local residents, such as Taylor Day from Westerly, express feelings of unease, despite official statements indicating that the cases are not connected. Some specialists, including forensic scientists and former detectives, note that investigations are still in their preliminary phases and no definitive links have been established as of yet.
