Houston bayou deaths: With bodies pulled from waterways, officials are convinced it’s not the work of a serial killer

“Enough is enough of wild speculation.”

Houston Mayor John Whitmire was frustrated as he stood in front of the cameras alongside the police chief last month, trying to dispel the rumors that have cast a veil of anxiety over the vast network of bayous that crisscross his city.

“There is no evidence that there is a serial killer loose on the streets of Houston,” Whitmire said at the news conference..

There’s been a rash of bodies found in the body count actually doubled previous years. People have been speculating that there’s a serial killer on the loose and that’s the reason behind all of this tragedy. Officials are down playing that and saying there’s no evidence of any coordinated or serial killer behavior at this time.
