Fears of a Texas serial killer resurfaced in Houston after three more bodies were recovered from the city’s bayous this week.
The latest discoveries bring the number of bodies found in the waterways in 2025 to at least 34, according to KTRK, just one less than last year’s total.
Authorities have repeatedly denied that the high figure is the work of a mystery murderer, as terrified locals have demanded answers.
On Monday, a body was found in the Buffalo Bayou near the 100 block of Crawford Street, per Houston Public Media.
The deceased was recovered after someone spotted a body in the water and called 911, bringing a response from the Houston Police Department’s dive team.
That same day, another body was found near the Brays Bayou at the intersection of Texas Spur 5 and Old Spanish Trail.
The person was found on Christmas Eve in the Buffalo Bayou around 3500 Memorial Parkway, Houston police said on X.
Since 2017, at least 198 dead bodies have been found in Houston’s bayous, per Harris County Medical Examiner’s Office records obtained by KPRC 2.
