34 dead bodies pulled from same Houston bayous: Texas serial killer grows
Published by RawNews1st
Authorities in Texas have responded to fears that a serial killer is dumping bodies in bayous around Houston.
These rumours were further stoked over the Christmas period, after police pulled three more bodies from bayous around Houston in just one week.
On December 22, a body was discovered in the Buffalo Bayou, while another was discovered in the Brays Bayou elsewhere in the city. Then a third body was discovered in the Buffalo Bayou on Christmas Eve (December 24).
With fears mounting among the city’s communities that a killer walks among them, both the mayor and police have stressed there is no evidence for this theory.
“We do not have any evidence that there is a serial killer loose,” Mayor John Whitmire said in September as the body count broke two dozen. But with each new discovery from waterways surrounding the city, the speculation increases.
That is what unfolded in the wake of the discovery of a third body last week, which was recovered after a nearby pedestrian had spotted it floating in the water.
While autopsy results are pending, local police kept their statement brief, saying: “The HPD Dive Team responded to the scene and recovered the body from the water.”
