That same day, over in Plymouth, Massachusetts, a hunter made a grisly discovery in the woods.

Romano had also been missing for months—her body was only found after a neighbor’s dog acted strangely.

Then came Killingly. Connecticut State Police confirmed a seventh body—unidentified human remains in the quiet town.

Age, gender, and cause of death? All still unknown. But one thing’s certain—the list of victims was growing.

Disturbing trend confirmed.

That makes three states—Connecticut, Rhode Island, and Massachusetts—all facing eerily similar cases.

So far, most of the victims were women. Most were found outdoors. All were alone when last seen.

Some were missing for days, others for months—found in water, woods, suitcases, and shallow brush.

A disturbing mosaic of death, with no suspects and little official linkage—yet it’s impossible to ignore the similarities.

While police urge calm, locals are anything but—speculation is now as widespread as the deaths themselves.

Peter Valentin, chair of Forensic Science at the University of New Haven, said the Springfield death raises serious questions.

“The language in police reports is very cautious,” he told Fox News Digital. “It may be downplaying a real threat.”

Viral theories clarified.

  via Getty  

Many believe the killer is following a gruesome pattern—victims found alone in isolated areas, often with no signs of a struggle.

advertisement

Social media groups have been buzzing with the idea that the deaths are linked to a single predator on the loose.

advertisement

  via Getty Images  

Some online sleuths speculate that the killer may be using these remote locations to evade capture, selecting victims who are vulnerable and alone.

advertisement

  via Getty  

Others think there may be a connection between the victims’ histories—many have struggled with mental health issues or addiction.

advertisement

  via Getty  

Forensic experts suggest the similarities in the cases could point to a methodical killer who knows how to hide his tracks.

Some theories even suggest that the killer may be using specific weapons or tools—possibly tied to the manner in which the bodies are found.

advertisement

Other local theories involve an underground network, with rumors swirling that some victims were sold or trafficked before being murdered.

advertisement

However, some experts caution that the deaths may be unrelated and that the region’s recent panic is amplifying an isolated series of tragedies.

advertisement

  via Getty Images  

Regardless of the cause, the fear is palpable—residents remain on edge, with many fearing that the killer is still out there, waiting to strike again.

Public continue to panic.

Despite the mounting pressure, police insist there’s no known connection between the cases or danger to the public.

But with eight women dead, a terrified public, and no answers, the chilling question still echoes: Is someone hunting in New England?
