Houston residents launched their own ‘Scooby-Doo’ style investigations to find an unconfirmed ‘serial killer’ after the discovery of six bodies since September 15 bringing the total found in the city’s bayous area to 22 this year.
Rumors of a mystery mass murderer came to a peak in the community in late September after officials announced that five dead bodies had been found over a five-day period.
Police said that had brought Houston’s total for the year to 14, but KPRC-TV reported using medical examiner records that the real number for 2025 was actually 22.
Various bayous scattered around the city were listed as their places of death.
This latest development came as Houston locals launched their own far-fetched efforts to track down the supposed serial killer.
TikTok user Darius Stcyr said: ‘Let’s set up a trap. As you know, we have a serial killer on the loose.’
He continued: ‘Just the thought that could possibly be my baby girl one day [who] gets snatched up and found in a bayou. That really bothers me, you know?
‘The police is clearly having a problem doing their job. I’m not understanding after the first body. Why aren’t there people staking out and watching?’
