Mon Apr 28 10:10:00 UTC 2025: ## No Evidence of Serial Killer in New England, Officials Say Despite Online Speculation
**Springfield, MA** – Concerns are rising across New England following several recent deaths, with online speculation suggesting a potential serial killer is at large. However, authorities are pushing back against these rumors, emphasizing that there is currently no evidence linking the cases.
The latest incident involves the death of 45-year-old Meggan Meredith, found unresponsive on a Springfield bike path on Tuesday. The Hampden District Attorney’s office confirmed a homicide investigation is underway, with an autopsy pending. Another ongoing investigation in Plymouth concerns a skull discovered in March. Further fueling online speculation, rumors and unexplained deaths have also emerged in Connecticut and Rhode Island, including a fruitless search in Narragansett prompted by a Facebook post.
Despite the growing online chatter, Hampden District Attorney Anthony D. Gulluni issued a statement Thursday assuring the public that each case is being thoroughly investigated, but stressed there is no indication of a connection between them. He cautioned against the spread of misinformation on social media, warning that unverified claims can hinder investigations and create unnecessary fear.
Former Boston Police Commissioner Ed Davis echoed these concerns, highlighting the lack of accountability on the internet and urging critical thinking when evaluating online information. He also noted that the scale of resources deployed to investigate a serial killer would make a cover-up highly improbable.
While some cases remain unsolved, officials are urging the public to rely on official statements and to refrain from drawing conclusions based on unsubstantiated online speculation. Anyone with credible information is encouraged to contact the appropriate local law enforcement agencies.
