Police Confirm Identity Of Human Remains Found Near Taylor Swift’s Rhode Island Home Amid Ongoing Fears
For months now, people in the New England area have been feeling uneasy. A total of 13 bodies have been discovered across Connecticut, Rhode Island, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts, and it has sparked real concerns that a serial killer might be at large.
The unsettling discovery near Swift’s vacation home happened last month. Law enforcement said they believed they had found human remains in Watch Hill, a wealthy neighborhood where the pop star’s beachside mansion is located.
In a public statement, the Westerly Police Department said: “Investigators are awaiting official confirmation of the identity of the remains.”
“No foul play is suspected at this time.”
The remains were then taken to the Rhode Island Medical Examiner’s Office for a full forensic analysis. Now, the police have followed up with another update on the case.
Wein had been reported missing on April 18. That report came more than a week after his vehicle was found parked illegally in South Kingston, according to local news outlet WPRI.
“We extend our deepest condolences to Mr. Wein’s family and loved ones during this difficult time.” police said in their official update.
Even though the discovery raised fears of a serial killer being involved, local law enforcement stressed that they don’t suspect any foul play in this case.
Over the past few months, 12 other human remains have been recovered throughout the New England region. Most of the victims were women, and this disturbing pattern has led to growing anxiety in the community.
One Facebook group, which was originally called ‘New England Serial Killer,’ helped fuel the speculation. It quickly grew in popularity and had more than 65,000 members before being forced to change its name due to Facebook’s community guidelines.
But despite the rumors and speculation, authorities have repeatedly pushed back. They’ve said all along that there’s no evidence pointing to a serial killer operating in the region.
After Wein’s remains were located last month, Westerly Police Chief Paul Gingerella spoke to Fox News Digital and said: “As far as I’m concerned, as far as right now, this has nothing to do with any serial killer or any New England murderer.”
