The Schedule - Day 866

5/15/2025




As of May 15, 2025, there are no confirmed reports of a serial killer currently active and on the loose in the United States based on the available information. However, several recent cases and rumors have sparked public interest and speculation, particularly on social media. Below is a summary of the most relevant updates:

  1. New England Rumors (March–April 2025):

    • Speculation about a potential serial killer in New England arose after eight bodies were found across Connecticut, Rhode Island, and Massachusetts between March and April 2025. These discoveries fueled online discussions, with a Facebook group called "New England Serial Killer" growing to over 65,000 members.

    • Notable cases include:

      • A human skull found in Plymouth, Massachusetts, on March 6, 2025, with no identified age or gender.

      • The body of Paige Fannon, 35, found in Norwalk, Connecticut, on March 6, 2025, with no indication of foul play.

      • Michele Romano, 56, found in Foster, Rhode Island, on March 26, 2025; her family stated her death was not linked to a serial killer.

      • Meggan Meredith, 45, found dead on a Springfield, Massachusetts, bike path on April 22, 2025, ruled a homicide but not connected to other cases.

      • Human remains found in a Groton, Connecticut, cemetery, linked to Donald Coffel, who confessed to murdering Suzanne Wormser, 58, in a targeted act.

    • Law enforcement, including Groton Police and Connecticut State Police, have repeatedly stated there is no evidence linking these deaths to a serial killer. Investigations remain ongoing, but authorities emphasize these are isolated incidents.

    • Criminal justice professor Creaig Dunton noted that serial murders are rare, accounting for about 1% of homicides, and the likelihood of a serial killer in this context is low.

  2. Florida Case (May 2025):

    • On May 14, 2025, Florida police released new surveillance video in the hunt for a person of interest described as a suspected serial killer. No further details were provided about the specific case or the suspect’s identity.

    • Separately, Glen Rogers, known as the “Casanova Killer” or “Cross-Country Killer,” is scheduled for execution in Florida. Rogers, originally from the Tri-State area, is a convicted serial killer, but this pertains to a past case, not an active threat.

  3. Southern California Case (May 2025):

    • On May 1, 2025, ABC7 reported an urgent manhunt in Southern California for a suspected killer who attempted to break into apartments before murdering a random victim. New video evidence was released, but no additional details about the suspect or the case’s status were provided. This case does not explicitly confirm a serial killer but indicates a dangerous individual at large.

  4. Other Notable Cases (Resolved or Ongoing Investigations):

    • Gilgo Beach Serial Killings (New York): Rex Heuermann, arrested in July 2023, was charged with a seventh murder on December 17, 2024, for the death of Valerie Mack. He is suspected in other unsolved murders, including that of Karen Vergata, but remains in custody and is not at large.

    • Austin, Texas: Raul Meza Jr., a convicted serial killer, is under investigation for additional cold cases. He is currently incarcerated, with no indication of an active threat.

    • Davis, California: Carlos Dominguez, a former UC Davis student, was arrested in 2023 for a series of stabbings (two murders, one attempted). He is in custody, and recent updates indicate he was found incompetent to stand trial.

    • Stockton, California: Wesley Brownlee, arrested in 2022 for multiple shootings, is linked to additional murders in Alameda County. He is not at large.

  5. General Context:

    • The FBI estimates 25–50 active serial killers in the U.S. at any given time, but specific cases of an unidentified serial killer on the loose are not currently substantiated by recent reports.

    • Advances in forensic science, DNA analysis, and surveillance technology have reduced the number of active serial killers since the 1970s and 1980s, making it harder for perpetrators to evade capture.

    • Public fascination with serial killers, amplified by media and social media, often leads to speculation that outpaces evidence, as seen in the New England cases.

Critical Note: Social media rumors, particularly in the New England cases, have been debunked by authorities as lacking evidence. Online speculation can cause unnecessary fear and harm to victims’ families, as noted by author Maureen Boyle. Always cross-reference such claims with official statements from law enforcement.
