8 Bodies, a suspected serial killer and Taylor Swift's manor house – what's going on in Neugland?

The police in Westerly, Rhode Island, has initiated an investigation after alleged human remains were found near Popstar Taylor Swift's coastal residence, known as the “holiday home”. The discovery, which seems to be an apparently human leg bone, triggered both the concern in the community and the rampant online speculation, including theories about a possible serial killer who works in the New England region.

Bones near Swift's house discovered

The western police authority received a call on May 14th at 9:30 a.m. and reported the presence of the Human remains in the Avenue area of ​​Watch Hill. The responding officials found what they think of a human leg bone, about two soccer fields away from Swift's villa, which lies along the picturesque coast of Rhode Island.

The area in which the bone was found is part of an upscale quarter that attracts holidaymakers and house residents, including Swift. After the discovery, the bone was handed over to the office of the medical examiner in Rhode Island for further examination.

The police don't say a bad game, the residents disagree

The authorities stated that at that time “no foul game was suspected”. Some members of the local community have expressed their discomfort. Taylor Day, a western resident, did not agree to the police's assessment. “I would definitely not agree,” she said to NBC 10 Wjar. “I think finding a leg is very suspicious.”

Day said she happened to go past the scene when the law enforcement arrived. “I saw three police cars – one undercover – that looked two like police officers in the city in the city, and a medical examiner drove behind me,” she added. “It somehow worried me, and it was just something very extraordinary for Westerly.”

It pointed to the upscale nature of the Watch Hill area and the presence of top-class properties nearby as reasons for increased concern. “It was probably a few soccer fields from Taylor Swift's house and Ocean House,” said Day. “I would never expect something like that – especially not in Watch Hill.”

The concerns of Day went beyond the initial shock of discovery. In her conversation with Wjar, she explained how the incident had changed her behavior. “My thoughts immediately went to all theories that are thrown around,” she said. “I am more aware of my surroundings. I don't go to locations that are somehow weak or where I could be alone. I just try to stay outside in public and be vigilant.”

Serial killer speculation grows online

The finding near Swift's house has added fuel to a wave of viral theories that circulate on social media. Online platforms such as Tikkok and Facebook have recorded an increase in speculation about a possible serial murderer in the New England region. According to reports, at least eight corpses in the Tri-State area for Rhode Island, Connecticut and Massachusetts have been found since March. Although the law enforcement agencies have not associated the deaths or have been confirmed as murders, the pattern caused the alarm in public.

Several police stations in the region had to deal with the growing fear, and some started after suspicious hidden funeral offices. The western police have not yet established such a connection, but the ongoing examination of the leg bone discovery continues to draw attention due to the proximity to Swift's residence.

No statement from Swift's team

From now on, neither Taylor Swift nor their representatives have made public comments for discovery. The investigation remains under the jurisdiction of the detective department of the Western of the police, which works together next to the office of the Medical examiner of Rhode Island to determine the identity of the remains and how they ended up in the region.
