Texas City officials have firmly denied recent rumors circulating on social media about the presence of a serial killer in the area. The unfounded claims have caused widespread concern among residents, prompting local authorities to address the situation.
Texas City Police Chief Joe Stanton held a press conference to dispel the rumors, stating, “There is no evidence to support the existence of a serial killer in our community. These rumors are baseless and only serve to create unnecessary fear.” Chief Stanton assured residents that the police department is thoroughly investigating all recent crimes and that there is no indication of a pattern suggesting a serial killer.
The rumors appear to have originated from a series of unrelated incidents that were falsely linked together by social media users. Officials urge the public to rely on verified information from credible sources and to avoid spreading unverified claims that can lead to panic.
Mayor Mary Johnson also emphasized the importance of community vigilance and cooperation with law enforcement. “We understand the anxiety these rumors have caused, but we want to reassure everyone that Texas City is safe,” she said. “Our police department is dedicated to maintaining public safety and addressing any concerns promptly.”
