Description

Just when Houston seems to move past the fear, it resurfaces again. With three more bodies recovered from bayous last week — bringing this year’s total to 34 — social media is once again asking the same terrifying question: is there a serial killer in Houston? Police and prosecutors insist there’s no evidence of a serial predator, pointing instead to homelessness, addiction, and the city’s dangerous waterways. But with nearly 40% of bayou deaths ruled “undetermined,” the rumors refuse to fade. Law&Crime's Jesse Weber breaks down the data, the official pushback, and why this fear keeps returning — with former FBI and CIA agent Tracy Walder. If you’re ever injured in an accident, you can check out Morgan & Morgan. You can submit a claim in 8 clicks or less without having to leave your couch.

Remember when they tell you not to panic that's when you panic 😂

I have watched enough documentaries on Serial Killers to know that law enforcement intentionally doesn’t tell communities when they suspect a serial killer might be working in the area. They always say that they didn’t want to cause a panic if they were wrong. Night Stalker is a prime example.

All these bodies turning up in this bayou is not a coincidence!

Saying "there is no evidence that there is a serial killer loose on the streets of Houston" doesn't mean there is no serial killer. It just means they haven't figured out a damn thing yet.

Imagine how brazen the killer must be getting when he hears they aren't looking for a serial killer.

I mean even if it there isn't a serial killer the number of bodies being found is concerning, especially when the number has been growing so consistently.
