Texans are bracing themselves as
Growing Fear
“Fear is spreading along Houston’s waterways as more bodies are discovered.”
Although authorities deny the presence of a serial killer, many residents feel the rising death toll is impossible to dismiss.
Public Unease
Rumors circulate through neighborhoods, bars, and online spaces.
In two years, dozens of bodies have been recovered, including several in one holiday week,
deepening anxiety rather than providing clarity.
Official Response
Officials stress that “evidence doesn’t support a pattern of targeted violence,”
noting no shared wounds, methods, or victim profiles.

Experts suggest causes like mental illness, addiction, and unsafe conditions.

the sense remains that something is deeply wrong—and still unresolved.”
