Emergency services in Houston have pulled a 16th body out of the city’s marshy bayous, agitating rumors of an active serial slayer.
According to authorities, the corpses are of people from various demographics, some of whom are yet to be identified.
Rampant speculation on social media has forced a public reaction from the city’s mayor, John Whitmire, who suggested the bodies are those of homeless people who are dumped in the water when they pass away.
