The rumors started with a Facebook group called “New England Serial Killer,” but its name has since been changed because of the social media platform’s policies.
In the midst of recent reports, Peter Valentin, chair of the University of New Haven’s Forensic Science Department, has been interviewed by Fox News Digital.
He brought up the crucial point that the woman who was discovered unconscious on the bike route has not yet been given a cause of death by Springfield police.
“I’m interested in what was found around the body,” Valentin told the newspaper. Given how tepid the piece is.
There may have been paraphernalia suggesting behavior that is deemphasizing homicide (perhaps mistakenly) to the investigators.
It contains a lot of extremely careful wording (likely lifted directly from police news releases), which may be done on purpose to avoid adding to the growing amount of attention being paid to every mysterious death in New England.
