In spite of public apprehension, law enforcement maintains that there is no evidence connecting the cases. Westerly Police Chief Paul Gingerella, along with other officials, advises caution, cautioning that online conjecture could obstruct investigations. Criminologists further contend that the fatalities do not exhibit the usual characteristics of serial killer behavior, as there is no uniformity in victim profiles or disposal locations.
While officials assert that not every incident qualifies as a homicide and that some may be coincidental or unrelated, speculation persists online. As inquiries progress, law enforcement urges the community to stay composed and refrain from making hasty judgments, confirming that each case is under meticulous scrutiny.
