Taylor Swift's Home Caught In The Mix Of An Unsettling Discovery That Has Sparked Serial Killer Fears
Taylor Swift may have cause for concern as human remains were discovered close to her Rhode Island home, prompting an investigation by local authorities.
Locals are already speculating that a serial killer may be on the loose, although authorities have said they don't believe that's the case.
Meanwhile, Taylor Swift seemingly has a lot on her plate already as she's been dragged deeply into close pal Blake Lively's legal battle with actor Justin Baldoni.
A grisly discovery near the sprawling Rhode Island mansion of Taylor Swift has prompted an active investigation by local authorities.
According to WJAR, authorities discovered a human leg bone in Westerly on Wednesday around 9:30 am near Everett Avenue, which isn't far from Swift's famed Holiday House.
A local who saw police and medical examiners on site told the news outlet that a leg bone was discovered, and that "finding a leg is very suspicious." The bone was subsequently sent off to the Rhode Island Medical Examiner's Office for further investigation.
The news has sparked shock and concern among residents as the area is generally considered to be free from crime, much less murder.
"I'm more aware of my surroundings. I don't go [to] places that are kind of dim or where I could be alone. Just trying to stay out in public and be vigilant," a local identified as Taylor Day said.
Speculations are rife concerning what could possibly have caused a human leg to be discovered in such a manner. According to the news outlet, residents are already suggesting a serial killer could be on the loose, although cops say that's most likely not the case.
"My mind immediately went to all the theories that are being thrown around," Day told WJAR, referring to the rumors suggesting there's a New England serial killer on the rampage as 13 sets of remains have been found in Connecticut, Rhode Island, and Massachusetts since March.
According to Fox News, five have been found in Connecticut and Massachusetts, while three have been found in Rhode Island, with police saying there's no connection between the bodies that have been found.
"From what I've seen or heard, first and foremost, not enough is being put out there, so we'll continue to create that serial killer idea," former FBI agent Scott Duffey told the news outlet.
The "Blank Space" hitmaker seemingly has a lot on her plate already as she's been dragged into the messy court battle between "It Ends With Us" costars Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni.
Lively accused Baldoni of sexually harassing her on the set of the Colleen Hoover movie adaptation, but the actor denied it and filed a $400 million countersuit, where he accused her and her husband, Ryan Reynolds, of trying to wrestle creative control of the film from him.
Baldoni also name-dropped Swift in his suit when he claimed Lively likened herself to "Game Of Thrones" character Khaleesi, and referred to Swift and Reynolds as her "dragons."
The "Bad Blood" singer has now been subpoenaed to answer questions related to the case.
Baldoni's lawyer, Bryan Freedman, recently claimed in a letter that a member of Lively's legal team tried to extort Swift into releasing a statement of support for the actress.
"Michael Gottlieb of Willkie Farr, counsel for the Lively Defendants, contacted a Venable attorney who represents Ms. Swift and demanded that Ms. Swift release a statement of support for Ms. Lively, intimating that, if Ms. Swift refused to do so, private text messages of a personal nature in Ms. Lively's possession would be released," Freedman claims in his letter.
However, in a statement shared with Variety, Gottlieb slammed the accusation as "categorically false" and "cowardly sourced to supposed anonymous sources, and completely untethered from reality."
The judge presiding over the lawsuit, Judge Lewis J. Liman, has since struck out the allegation from Baldoni's lawyer, branding it "irrelevant, improper, and inflammatory."
Meanwhile, Swift is enjoying her time together with boyfriend Travis Kelce, who's preparing to return for the new season with the Kansas City Chiefs. The couple has reportedly been staying out of the spotlight and is both paying attention to their health and lifestyle.
"Taylor is an amazing cook, and she is really great at desserts. Travis doesn't have the most healthy diet in the world, but these days, while he might sneak in one of her pop tarts, it is not in excess," a source shared, per the Daily Mail.
They continued, "And it's the same when it comes to drinking. He isn't partying, he's getting ready for the season. If there are drinks nearby, he isn't going to stay away, but it is never a must-have with dinner or outings. Nor is he going out on his porch and throwing back a couple. If they get back to the promised land, then you'll see him partying."
The insider added that Swift and Kelce "are just both decompressing from that go-go-go style of life and enjoying days together with as little stress as possible."

Justin Baldoni continuing legal fight against Blake Lively after dismissal
(NewsNation) — Justin Baldoni's team says it isn't finished after a judge dismissed its case against Blake Lively and her husband, Ryan Reynolds. In a statement, Baldoni's attorney, Bryan Freedman, said that Lively and her team's 'predictable declaration of victory is false.' Freedman also said the court is allowing Baldoni and his team to amend four of the seven claims it made against his former 'It Ends With Us' co-star. Judge Lewis J. Liman also dropped Baldoni's $250 million lawsuit against The New York Times. The deadline for Baldoni's team to make those amendments is June 23. What is Simone Biles' net worth? Baldoni's attorney's full statement reads: 'Ms. Liveley and her team's predictable declaration of victory is false, so let us be clear about the latest ruling. While the Court dismissed the defamation related claims, the Court has invited us to amend four out of the seven claims against Ms. Lively, which will showcase additional evidence and refined allegations.' 'This case is about false accusations of sexual harassment and retaliation and a nonexistent smear campaign, which Ms. Lively's team conveniently describes as 'untraceable' because they cannot prove what never happened. Most importantly, Ms. Lively's own claims are no truer today than they were yesterday, and with the facts on our side, we march forward with the same confidence that we had when Ms. Lively and her cohorts initiated this battle and look forward to her forthcoming deposition, which I will be taking.' 'We are grateful for the organic show of support from the public and for the dedication of the internet sleuth community who continue to cover the case with discernment and integrity.' After the judge dismissed Baldoni's suits, Lively's legal team said it was 'a total victory and a complete vindication.' Lively's lawyers, Mike Gottlieb and Esra Hudson, told Us Weekly: 'As we have said from day one, this '$400 million' lawsuit was a sham, and the Court saw right through it. We look forward to the next round, which is seeking attorneys' fees, treble damages and punitive damages against Baldoni, Sarowitz, Nathan and the other Wayfarer Parties who perpetrated this abusive litigation.' Lively also made a statement, saying that she would continue to defend women's rights. In an Instagram story, she said, 'Like so many others, I've felt the pain of a retaliatory lawsuit, including the manufactured shame that tries to break us.' She also said the suit against her 'was defeated,' and there are some 'incredible organizations' that can help women in a situation similar to hers. 'With love and gratitude for the many who stood by me, many of you I know. Many of you I don't. But I will never stop appreciating or advocating for you,' she ended the post. Lively originally brought a lawsuit against Baldoni for alleged sexual harassment. One insider told NewsNation's Paula Froelich in February that Lively and Reynolds 'have no idea what's coming down the pike.' Lively claimed in her lawsuit that sales of her haircare brand, Blake Brown, plummeted by nearly 78% after what she calls a 'social manipulation campaign.' Billie Eilish's brother Finneas says he was tear-gassed during LA ICE protest A person close to Target, which sells Lively's haircare brand, told Puck that the brand is set to do 'less than $15 million' in sales in 2025. The source claimed that Blake Brown was previously a $100 million brand. Another source told Froelich that no one has wanted to work with Lively since the lawsuits. A trial for Lively's suit against Baldoni has been scheduled for March 2026. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Louisiana father who left 1-year-old daughter in hot car for over 9 hours faces murder charge: police
A Louisiana father was charged with second-degree murder after allegedly leaving his 21-month-old daughter inside a hot car for more than nine hours. Joseph Boatman, 32, of Hammond, was arrested Sunday after the child died outside a home in Madisonville, according to the St. Tammany Parish Sheriff's Office. "Detectives with the STPSO Major Crimes Unit have learned that Boatman had strapped the toddler in her car seat inside the vehicle after picking her up from a family member's residence shortly after 2:30 a.m. Sunday," police said. "After strapping the toddler in her car seat, Boatman went back inside the residence and never returned to the vehicle. It was also learned that prior to Boatman arriving to pick up his daughter, he had consumed multiple alcoholic beverages," the sheriff's office added. Florida Woman Given Maximum Sentence In Death Of Second Grandchild Police say they responded to the home shortly before noon Sunday, "after a family member located the girl unresponsive inside the vehicle." Read On The Fox News App Temperatures in the area around that time were about 90 degrees. "This is a devastating loss that no family ever wants to face," St. Tammany Parish Sheriff Randy Smith said in a statement. "When a child is left in a vehicle, especially on a day when the heat index climbs over 100 degrees, the outcome can turn deadly in a matter of minutes. This case involved compromised judgment, and the result was heartbreaking." Child Hot Car Death Pushes Parents Who Lost Daughter To Sound Alarm About 'Preventable Tragedy' The website No Heat Stroke, which tracks the deaths of children inside hot cars in the U.S., said it was the fifth instance this year, following cases in New Mexico, California, Maryland and New Jersey. "A child's body temperature rises three to five times faster than an adult's. When a child is left in a vehicle, that child's temperature can rise quickly – and the situation can quickly become dangerous," the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says on its website. "In 2024, 39 children died of heatstroke in vehicles — up 35% from 2023." The NHTSA also says, "Never leave a child in a vehicle unattended for any length of time," and, "Rolling windows down or parking in the shade does little to change the interior temperature of the vehicle."Original article source: Louisiana father who left 1-year-old daughter in hot car for over 9 hours faces murder charge: police

Mike Lindell testifies in defamation case over 2020 election fraud lies
Litigation fallout from the 2020 election continues, with one of the latest examples being a defamation lawsuit against Mike Lindell. But unlike the mass clemency that President Donald Trump issued for scores of Jan. 6 criminal defendants, the president can't similarly save the MyPillow founder from the civil suit stemming from the lie that the election Trump lost to Joe Biden was stolen. The suit comes from Eric Coomer, a former director of product strategy and security for Dominion Voting Systems. In 2020, the voting machine company was the target of election conspiracy theories — of which Lindell was a prominent purveyor — and has played a key role in post-election litigation, including winning a historic settlement in a defamation case against Fox News. As Coomer put it in his suit, filed in Colorado, his case arises 'from efforts by a wealthy businessman and his multiple media and business entities to target a private individual with false allegations of criminal conduct on a scale unprecedented in American history.' He said Lindell and his related companies 'have been among the most prolific vectors of baseless conspiracy theories claiming election fraud in the 2020 election.' He said Lindell has publicly accused him of being 'a traitor to the United States' and has claimed, without evidence, that he committed treason and should turn himself in to the authorities. Claiming Lindell caused immense damage, Coomer said he can no longer work in the elections industry after more than 15 years at the top of the field. He said he 'endures frequent credible death threats and the burden of being made the face of an imagined criminal conspiracy of unprecedented scope in American history.' Nonetheless — or perhaps because he feels he can't concede fault for legal and/or business reasons — Lindell reportedly held to his fraud claims on the stand this week. The Associated Press reported that he 'stuck by his false claims that the 2020 presidential election was stolen'; The Denver Post reported that he 'remained committed to his crusade against voting machines and his widely debunked conspiracy that the 2020 presidential election was stolen.' It remains to be seen what the jury makes of the pillow executive's testimony. But if Lindell loses this case, not only could it compound his several financial losses in court, but he'll need to appeal to courts for relief. Unlike the federal criminal cases sparked by the 'big lie,' Trump can't make this one disappear with the stroke of a pardon pen.
