Concerns have escalated in Florida after three women were found dead over the course of three consecutive days in Jacksonville, igniting widespread speculation and rumors on social media about a potential serial killer at large.

However, the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office (JSO) has firmly denied these claims, stating that the cases are unrelated and there is no evidence linking them. According to Fox News, police officials emphasized that each incident is being investigated separately and assured the public that there is no broader threat to residents. 
In an official statement, the police said: "We are aware of rumors circulating regarding a serial killer in Jacksonville and can confirm these allegations are untrue." The department added that separate investigations are underway for each case, reiterating that there is no ongoing risk to the community. 
Three Crimes in Three Days: What Happened?

  • Day One: Young Mother Killed
    On Saturday, 24-year-old Cherish Nanly was discovered shot to death in a parking lot, as reported by News4Jax. Friends described her as a loving mother of two and a bright presence. A fundraising campaign has since been launched to support her family.
  • Day Two: Body Found Under Bridge
    The following day, fisherman discovered Tiffany Felton’s body beneath a bridge on Blanding Boulevard. A member of MAD DADS-an anti-violence advocacy group-commented emotionally: "Someone left her under the bridge... It’s incredibly painful."
  • Day Three: Woman Found Dead at Home
    On Monday, officers responded to a call at a home in the Phoenix neighborhood where they found another woman unresponsive; she was later pronounced dead. Details surrounding her cause of death remain unclear.

Is There a Connection? Police Respond
So far, authorities say they have found no evidence linking the three incidents. No suspects have been confirmed arrested yet. Despite growing public concern and pressure for answers, officials maintain that current evidence does not suggest one perpetrator or an overarching threat. 
Nevertheless, skepticism remains online. One commenter wrote: “Three bodies in three days? It’s hard to believe there’s no connection until these cases are solved.” Another speculated: “Maybe it’s one killer-or even two... But no one really knows yet.” 
Police Denials Fail to Quell Social Media Frenzy
Despite law enforcement statements refuting any link between the deaths or presence of a serial killer, debate continues across online platforms. Many users have likened recent events to those depicted in crime thrillers or notorious serial murder cases. 
On Facebook, one user sarcastically remarked: "Isn't this exactly what police always say in serial killer movies?" Others referenced figures such as Ted Bundy and John Wayne Gacy, criticizing past instances where authorities initially downplayed similar situations before larger patterns emerged.
