In one area of Houston, rumors are rampant that a serial killer may be on the loose after half a dozen bodies discovered this year in the bayous alone. “We will not respond to speculation” police said following the latest discovery. The bodies that have been pulled from the Houston Bayou last week starting with the finding of Jade Mckissic, a student attending University of Houston. According to Fox 26, some residents are on board with the thoughts of the Harrison County PD, it could be a possibility that these are homeless people and are somehow linked to each other. The Houston Bayou is made up of over 20 adjoining bayou’s that stretch over 25,000 miles.
Some suggest that the crimes may possibly be connected though autopsies continue on those discovered.

I will admit being outlets used Jade’s picture as the poster child for these crimes, it made me think this was connected to the recent reports about the collective of girls going missing in Houston Chronicle rreports “The body police recovered from the bayou is believed to be that of a girl or woman, according to HPD spokesperson Shay Awosiyan. Five other bodies were pulled from local bayous between Sept. 15-20, including 20-year-old University of Houston student Jade McKissic, and the body recovered late Thursday marks the 15th this year.
“On Thursday, the Harris County medical examiner’s office released the identities of the people whose bodies were found in bayous between Sept. 15-20. In addition to McKissic, who was found in Brays Bayou, Rodney Riccardo Chatman was found Sept. 15 in Greens Bayou. Seth Joseph Hansen was found Sept. 16 in White Oak Bayou. Arnulfo Alvarado was found Sept. 18 in Buffalo Bayou, where Michael Andrea Rice was found Sept. 20. The medical examiner’s office has not yet determined the cause of death of any of the six people discovered in bayous during the last two weeks. Houston police said foul play is not suspected in the death of McKissic.”
