The discovery of Adriana Suazo’s body in a wooded area in Milton, Massachusetts, has raised significant alarms across New England regarding a troubling increase in unexplained deaths. The 21-year-old Boston resident was found by a passerby on June 1, around 11:45 a.m. The Norfolk District Attorney’s Office reported that there were no apparent signs of trauma on her body, and the cause of death is being investigated by the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner. Suazo’s case adds to a disturbing tally of at least 13 bodies found across the region since March 2025, revealing a pattern that is alarming residents and authorities alike.
The unsettling trend has included bodies discovered in remote or wooded areas in Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island, and Maine. The circumstances surrounding these deaths are diverse, ranging from dismemberments to unexplained unattended deaths. Law enforcement agencies are investigating each death separately; however, the sheer number of cases occurring within such a short timeframe has led many to speculate about a possible serial offender. The fear and suspicion have spread throughout the communities involved, as the deaths resonate in a region known for its close-knit ties.
Despite public speculation, law enforcement officials have pushed back against the idea of a single perpetrator being responsible for these deaths. They point out that there are no forensic links connecting the different cases, suggesting that the deaths could have varied causes and circumstances. The timeline of events reveals a series of grim discoveries, including the death of Paige Fannon in the Norwalk River on March 6 and the subsequent finding of a human skull in Plymouth, Massachusetts, on the same day. This marked the beginning of a series of alarming incidents that would unfold in the following weeks.
In March, more bodies surfaced: Suzanne Wormser’s dismembered remains were discovered in a suitcase in Groton, Connecticut, igniting further outrage and fear among those in the region. Other discoveries followed, including the bodies of Denise Leary in New Haven and Michele Romano in Rhode Island. As the month wrapped up, additional unidentified remains were found, adding to the growing list of tragedies that residents were grappling with. The continuity of these discoveries created a palpable sense of unease, and many began to look for connections amid the seemingly unrelated deaths.
In April, the trend continued as more bodies were unearthed: an unidentified set of remains in Connecticut, another victim in the Seekonk River, and yet another body discovered in Taunton, Massachusetts. Each day seemed to yield new grim news, heightening the urgency for answers and clarity. The public’s anxiety only grew with the discovery of Jasmine Wilkes’s body on May 30, further sparking concerns that the community was grappling with an escalating crisis in public safety amidst the mystery surrounding these deaths.
Amid this unsettling wave of violence and uncertainty, family members of the deceased, including Suazo’s sister Melanie Pizarro, publicly expressed their desire for answers. Pizarro voiced her concerns, stating she wants to know the truth surrounding her sister’s death and acknowledged the suspicious circumstances involved. The family, like many others affected by these tragedies, is seeking closure and understanding. A vigil was held in Suazo’s memory, demonstrating the community’s solidarity and grief as they navigated this challenging moment, haunted by uncertainty yet striving for truth.
