Police Confirm Identity Of Human Remains Found Near Taylor Swift’s Rhode Island Home Amid Ongoing Fears

The human remains were discovered near Taylor Swift’s holiday home last month

Authorities have shared an important update about the human remains that were recently found near Taylor Swift’s property in Rhode Island.

For months now, people in the New England area have been feeling uneasy. A total of 13 bodies have been discovered across Connecticut, Rhode Island, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts, and it has sparked real concerns that a serial killer might be at large.

The unsettling discovery near Swift’s vacation home happened last month. Law enforcement said they believed they had found human remains in Watch Hill, a wealthy neighborhood where the pop star’s beachside mansion is located.

In a public statement, the Westerly Police Department said: “Investigators are awaiting official confirmation of the identity of the remains.”

“No foul play is suspected at this time.”

The remains were then taken to the Rhode Island Medical Examiner’s Office for a full forensic analysis. Now, the police have followed up with another update on the case.

The South Kingston Police Department has officially identified the remains as those of Eric Wein, a 31-year-old man from Massachusetts.

Wein had been reported missing on April 18. That report came more than a week after his vehicle was found parked illegally in South Kingston, according to local news outlet WPRI.

“We extend our deepest condolences to Mr. Wein’s family and loved ones during this difficult time.” police said in their official update.

Even though the discovery raised fears of a serial killer being involved, local law enforcement stressed that they don’t suspect any foul play in this case.

Over the past few months, 12 other human remains have been recovered throughout the New England region. Most of the victims were women, and this disturbing pattern has led to growing anxiety in the community.

One Facebook group, which was originally called ‘New England Serial Killer,’ helped fuel the speculation. It quickly grew in popularity and had more than 65,000 members before being forced to change its name due to Facebook’s community guidelines.

Since then, several other online groups have popped up, with some warning about so-called “sinister shadows” lurking in the Southern New England tri-state region. These groups claim the area is now “gripped by fear and uncertainty.”

But despite the rumors and speculation, authorities have repeatedly pushed back. They’ve said all along that there’s no evidence pointing to a serial killer operating in the region.

Officials continue to state that there’s no connection between the different cases and that there is “no known threat to the public” at this time.

After Wein’s remains were located last month, Westerly Police Chief Paul Gingerella spoke to Fox News Digital and said: “As far as I’m concerned, as far as right now, this has nothing to do with any serial killer or any New England murderer.”
