Houston Officials Dispute Serial Killer Rumors Amid Bayou Body Recoveries
Rumors of a serial killer operating in Houston’s waterways are being refuted by the Harris County District Attorney, Sean Teare, following the recent discovery of three bodies. The Houston Police Department confirmed the recovery of bodies from various bayous in late December. Despite online speculation, Teare stated there is no evidence to suggest a serial killer is responsible, attributing many of the deaths to factors like the city’s homeless population and substance abuse issues. The mayor’s office also extended condolences, emphasizing the city’s vast network of waterways and the ongoing investigation into each case, with autopsy results still pending.
