POLICE IN THE US are investigating a possible link between the severed heads of two women found in different states.
The heads were discovered in recent weeks near lakes in Texas and Louisiana, and investigators are trying to determine if the gruesome discoveries are linked.
The Houston Chronicle reports that the two victims haven’t been identified but were white women with reddish hair.
Their heads were found in plastic bags and in similar surroundings at Lake Houston and near Calcasieu Lake. The lakes are about 150 miles (241km) apart.
A prison inmate doing cleanup labour near a motorway found the severed head in Louisiana on 1 March.
Volunteer cleanup crews near Lake Houston made the other macabre discovery on 24 March in Huffman.
No one has been arrested. The Cameron Parish Sheriff’s Office and the Houston Police Department have acknowledged similarities in the cases and are sharing information with each other.

A Prison inmate doing labour……a phrase I would like to see in Ireland…preferably on a chain gang
@Dave Doyle: when the prisoner earns you money the prison will often look for ways to keep them in.
@Dave O Keeffe: but they may allow you to start a library and keep a rock hammer for good behaviour
Two severed heads of white women with red hair found in carrier bags … hmmmm … now I’m no Horatio Caine but imma go out on a limb here and say there’s some connection
@Dara O’Brien: They probably resemble his mother.
For a severed head she look rather happy in that picture.
@Billy Connelly: If Chewbacca was a woman.
dna test. they could be twins I’ve heard twins die the same way somtimes.
@LiamMalone: Yeah sometimes heads just fall off
didnt say that. but they do look the same and probly died the same so whos wrong here
@LiamMalone: it’s you Liam, you’re wrong here.
dont think so. want to bet they died the same way?
@LiamMalone: no, I don’t want to bet on two gruesome unexplained deaths.
Where are you getting your information from? This article says they have similar hair colour, there are no other descriptions given to suggest the women look alike. Not all red-heads are related, or even naturally red-headed.
twins dont have to be identicle
@LiamMalone: you’re the one who claimed they “do look the same”, and then drew the weird inference that they must also have died the same way. How do you know they look the same, where are you getting your information?
u think theres no connection? tell journal so i didnt write this. one could be taller or fatter but we dont no yet until the dna test
@LiamMalone: omg hahahaha
@LiamMalone: given the available information it seems quite likely that there might be a connection between the two deaths, but deciding they must be twins because you’ve heard that “twins die the same way sometimes” is ridiculous on so many different levels.
@LiamMalone: a DNA test isn’t going to tell them if one woman was taller or fatter than the other.
are u csi lol? will tell us if there twins tho. id check the bags to could be same shop.
@LiamMalone: seriously you’re still clinging to your twins theory? The basis for which is that twins sometimes die in the same way, or so you’ve heard?
You don’t think it’s more likely, if these cases are connected, that the killer has a victim type rather than killing a set of siblings and disposing of their remains in different states.
If they find more severed red-heads are you going to revise your theory to triplets, or quads, or octuplets?
could be coinsdence. dont think so tho dna will tell us
@LiamMalone: oh my god, you’re either a comedy genius, or the most stupid person alive! That thread was hilarious though. I especially liked the Columbo ‘just one last thing, where do you shop?’ bit. Pure gold!
tks. reported
@LiamMalone: you’re welcome funny guy!
@LiamMalone: is it really that hard to spell ?!
yeah this is comments section not a ryanair ticket lol
What is up with so many women killers like this in America? Is it just that we tend to get more news from the us or are there more of these kinds of serial killers there?
@Veronica: didn’t realise a woman had killed them Veronica. Thanks for the inside story.
@Peter Browne: yeah, murdered women are hilarious
@Veronica: You’re not wrong. Plenty of female serial killers https://m.ranker.com/list/famous-female-serial-killers/reference and they are only the famous ones.
@Veronica: As usual you are very bias. Serial killers don’t just target women. Serial killers are common where there is ease of mobility and poor social ties. Hence America has more although it is believed Ireland has had one in the last few decades.
@Kal Ipers:
People seem to have a block when it comes to serial killer victims. We all think of the evil man hunting down the beautiful woman. However, when it comes to US Serial killer victims, the Radford University serial killer database highlights that the victims are split 50-50.
@Jack Sparrow: True…estimates highlight that anywhere between 10-20% of serial killers are women depending on the population in question. Also, women serial killers kill on average twice as many people than their male counterparts. This is mainly due to the method of killing and the skewed view that women can’t be serial killers.
Also, the view that serial killers are invariably straight, white males is also racist and sexist Fake News. Over the last 120 years in the US, white males account for 45% of serial killers. This figure drops to 32% when we only consider the period 1990-2016.
One final interesting statistic…women in prison for murder are, for the most part, in prison for murdering people close to them. Murder is very personal for women. The majority of men in prison for murder usually murder people not close to them…
Moral of the story is ” when ahead stay ahead “
For a second, I thought that thumbnail was a photo of a severed head
Where’s the rest of their bodies is what I’d like to know!?
Quantum head-severing.
have your say
