Press Release: Rumors of Serial Killer in New England Dismissed by Authorities
Recent social media rumors of a serial killer haunting New England have sparked widespread panic, particularly after several bodies were found across Connecticut, Rhode Island, and Massachusetts. However, law enforcement officials in all three states are assuring the public that there is no evidence supporting these claims.
A Facebook group titled "New England Serial Killer" has surged to over 23,000 members, adding 6,000 in just a week. In response to these fears, police in Narragansett, Rhode Island, searched Scarborough Beach with cadaver dogs but found no evidence, labeling an online tip as a "work of fiction."
In Groton, Connecticut, human remains identified as 58-year-old Suzanne Wormser have led to the arrest of her roommate, Donald Coffel, on murder charges. Groton Police Chief David Burton confirmed the incident is not linked to a serial killer. Other investigations, including the recent deaths of Meggan Meredith in Springfield and two individuals in Salem, remain open but unrelated to the speculation.
With anxiety running high among residents, authorities urge caution against spreading misinformation and encourage those with credible information to come forward.
