A wave of fear has swept across Houston after five bodies were pulled from local bayous in less than a week, prompting speculation that a serial killer may be at large in America’s fourth-largest city.
Between Sept. 15 and Sept. 20, Houston police confirmed the recovery of five separate bodies from different waterways across the city.
“It’s unusual. Usually you don’t find four bodies in the bayous in a week,” Constable Alan Rosen of Harris County Precinct One told Fox 26 Houston. “When you have bodies showing up in bayous, it’s always a concern because we have to determine how they got there, what was the cause of death. Was it foul play? Was it suicide? Was it an accident? What were the circumstances?”
So far this year, at least 14 bodies have been recovered from Houston’s waterways, authorities said.
