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.

As the investigation continues, the case stands as a stark reminder that even the most glamorous zip codes are not immune to the unexpected — or the unexplained.

LA protests: California Governor Newsom plans to sue Trump Administration over National Guard deployment
California Governor Gavin Newsom announced plans to file a lawsuit against the Trump administration over what he calls the 'unlawful' deployment of National Guard troops to Los Angeles. 'This is a serious breach of state sovereignty — inflaming tensions while pulling resources from where they're actually needed,' Newsom said in a post on X. 'Rescind the order. Return control to California.' In a formal letter to Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, Newsom demanded the immediate return of the troops, arguing that local law enforcement had sufficient resources to maintain order. 'At present, law enforcement authorities from the City and County of Los Angeles are safeguarding public safety,' the letter read, citing Saturday evening's robust response to protests as proof. Newsom also accused President Trump of misleading him during their recent phone call. 'Trump never once mentioned the National Guard when we spoke on Friday,' the governor said Sunday night. 'It was a very civil conversation. I've always wanted to approach engagement with the President of the United States in a respectful and responsible way. But there's no working with the president, there's only working for him. And I will never work for Donald Trump.' President Trump on Saturday authorised the deployment of 2,000 National Guard troops, though only 300 had arrived in LA as of Sunday. The rest are reportedly on standby, waiting for further instructions. Meanwhile, the Pentagon confirmed that 500 Marines based at Camp Pendleton are also on 'prepared to deploy' status if the violence continues. LAPD Chief Jim McDonnell admitted Sunday that his officers are struggling to contain the situation. 'We are overwhelmed,' McDonnell said during a press briefing. 'Tonight, we had individuals out there shooting commercial-grade fireworks at our officers. That can kill you.' He described the level of violence as 'disgusting' and said the protests were becoming 'increasingly worse and more violent.' Sunday marked the third consecutive day of unrest, with at least 2,000 rioters blocking the 101 Freeway, throwing concrete blocks, and setting fire to driverless Waymo vehicles. At least three LAPD officers were injured and 27 people arrested. Two protesters reportedly rammed motorcycles into police lines. Officers responded with rubber bullets, tear gas, and pellets, which also struck journalists on the scene. In a further federal escalation, the FBI announced a $50,000 reward for information on protesters who assaulted law enforcement officers over the weekend. One suspect has already been added to the FBI's Most Wanted list. LA Mayor Karen Bass also condemned the troop deployment, echoing Newsom's stance. 'Deploying federalized troops on the heels of these raids is a chaotic escalation,' she said. 'If you want there to be chaos, then have troops on the ground when there is absolutely no need for that to happen,' Bass added. President Trump fired back at California leaders on Truth Social, calling Newsom 'Governor Gavin Newscum' and dismissing the protests as 'paid insurrection.' 'These are not protesters, they are troublemakers and insurrectionists,' Trump wrote. 'Governor Gavin Newscum and 'Mayor' Bass should apologize to the people of Los Angeles for the absolutely horrible job that they have done.' 'Looking really bad L.A. BRING IN THE TROOPS!!!' the president added in a separate post late Sunday. This is a developing story. Please check back for updates

‘Need your help': FBI chief Kash Patel reaches out to India to combat China's fentanyl supply chain
'I literally just got off the phone with the Indian government… I said, I need your help. This stuff's coming into your country and then they're moving it from your country because India is not consuming fentanyl,' said Patel read more FBI Director Kash Patel has said that the US administration has sought the help of Indian law enforcement agencies to take down a China-backed global fentanyl network. Speaking on The Joe Rogan Experience podcast, Patel said that although India is not a major consumer of fentanyl, it is increasingly being used as a transit hub for chemical precursors produced in China and shipped to Mexican drug cartels. 'They're going to places like India, and I'm also doing operations in India,' Patel was quoted as saying on the podcast. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD 'They're having the Mexican cartels now make this fentanyl down in Mexico still,' he added. China evading scrutiny Patel accused Chinese suppliers of evading scrutiny by routing fentanyl precursors through third countries like India to avoid direct enforcement. He claimed this tactic is part of a calculated effort by the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) to target the US population, saying suppliers are 'getting cute' with their smuggling routes. 'You don't hear fentanyl deaths in India. You don't really hear fentanyl deaths in England, Australia, New Zealand, or Five Eyes partners in Canada,' he said. 'The CCP have used it as a directed approach because we are their adversary.' 'Why don't we go and take out generations of young men and women who might grow up to serve in the United States military, or become a cop, or become a teacher?' he added. FBI, India coordinating on crackdown Patel said the FBI has established direct lines of communication with Indian authorities to curb the flow of fentanyl precursors. 'I literally just got off the phone with the Indian government' he said. 'I said, I need your help. This stuff's coming into your country and then they're moving it from your country because India is not consuming fentanyl.' 'We're going to find these companies that buy it and we're going to shut them down,' he added. Patel confirmed that joint operations between the FBI and Indian law enforcement are already underway. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD 'We're going to sanction them. We're going to arrest them where we can. We're going to indict them in America if we can. We're going to indict them in India if we can,' he added. According to a Times of India report, several Indian chemical manufacturers have been named in US indictments. Vasudha Pharma Chem Limited and two of its senior executives have been charged with conspiring to ship four metric tons of NPP, a fentanyl precursor, to the US and Mexico. Two other firms, Raxuter Chemicals and Athos Chemicals Pvt Ltd, were also indicted for allegedly supplying similar chemical precursors. India outreach personal, strategic Patel, the son of Gujarati immigrants, said his dealing with India was driven by both personal connections and strategic priorities. 'India is not the problem,' he said. 'But if we don't get ahead of it, it could become one,' he added. He also alleged that Mexican cartels have rerouted their trafficking channels through Canada, using Vancouver as a new hub. 'They're flying it into Vancouver,' he said, adding, 'They're taking the precursors up to Canada, manufacturing it up there, and doing their global distribution routes from up there because we were being so effective down south.' STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Strategic threat Patel said China's role in the fentanyl trade isn't driven by profit. 'They're not making a ton of money off it,' he said. 'So it's really just for that purpose.' He warned that chemical precursors have already appeared in Five Eyes countries and claimed the Chinese Communist Party is 'just waiting to deploy' the finished product. 'The fentanyl itself isn't being deployed into your country, but it's there being manufactured,' he said. 'The CCP just hasn't directed it at you yet, and they know that,' he added. Patel estimated that synthetic opioids caused over 74,000 deaths in the US in 2023, calling the fentanyl crisis 'a tier one national security threat.' With inputs from agencies
