Westerly, Rhode Island — A disturbing discovery near one of New England’s most iconic celebrity homes is drawing nationwide concern. Human remains were found just a third of a mile from Taylor Swift’s $17 million seaside mansion in the affluent Watch Hill neighborhood, a property made famous by her annual star-studded Fourth of July parties.
Police respond to human remains discovery just steps from Watch Hill's celebrity enclave
According to local reports, a leg bone was uncovered Wednesday morning off Everett Avenue, a coastal trail popular with residents and tourists. The trail leads down to the ocean, not far from Swift’s "Holiday House" estate — a landmark in pop culture and the quiet community alike.
Authorities responded swiftly to the scene and transferred the remains to the Rhode Island Medical Examiner’s Office for further analysis. While police have stated that foul play is not currently suspected, the timing and location of this discovery have fueled intense online speculation, especially given a troubling regional pattern.
The leg bone marks the 13th set of human remains found across southern New England since March, with prior cases emerging in Connecticut and Massachusetts. The unsettling trend has stirred fears of a potential serial killer, especially as the cases span multiple states and remain largely unsolved.
Former FBI agent Scott Duffey urged the public to avoid speculation. “Nothing that I have seen would arise to a serial killer being responsible for any or most of these people who have been found,” he told Fox News Digital, emphasizing the need for more evidence before drawing conclusions.
One arrest linked to earlier remains, but mystery deepens elsewhere
One case has led to an arrest. In Connecticut, 68-year-old Donald Coffel was detained in connection with the dismemberment of Suzanne Wormser, whose remains were found in a suitcase. Police believe that incident stemmed from a drug dispute. Coffel, however, died in custody last Friday, leaving more questions than answers.
Once a tranquil getaway for celebrities including Travis Kelce, Patrick Mahomes, and Selena Gomez, Watch Hill now finds itself under a dark cloud. The discovery has disrupted the peaceful vibe of the exclusive enclave, stirring anxiety among residents and tourists alike.
