The Hamden County District Attorney in Massachusetts on Thursday addressed rumors of a New England serial killer after authorities discovered a woman's body off a bike path in Springfield on Tuesday.

马萨诸塞州哈姆登县地方检察官周四回应了有关新英格兰(地区)连环杀手的谣言,周二,当局在斯普林菲尔德市的一条自行车道上发现了一具女尸。

The woman's death comes amid rumors circulating online about a possible New England serial killer following the deaths of seven and now eight people, mostly women, between March and April in Massachusetts, Connecticut and Rhode Island. As of Friday, authorities have not announced any kind of connection between the eight victims' deaths.

这名女子的死亡被发现时,正值网上流传谣言,称可能是一名新英格兰的连环杀手,此前的3月至4月期间,马萨诸塞州、康涅狄格州和罗德岛州有7人连同现在的第8人死亡,其中大部分是女性。截至周五,当局还没有宣布八名受害者的死亡之间存在任何形式的联系。

It is unclear how the woman in Springfield died, and the local medical examiner is conducting an autopsy, but Hamden County DA Anthony Gulluni said his office is thoroughly investigating each act of violence in the Springfield community.

目前尚不清楚斯普林菲尔德的这名女子是如何死亡的,当地法医正在进行尸检,但哈姆登县检察官安东尼·古鲁尼表示,他的办公室团队正在彻底调查斯普林菲尔德社区的每一起暴力行为。

"Our hearts go out to the families who are grieving," Gulluni said.

“我们的心与悲痛的家庭同在,”古鲁尼说。

His office urged the public to be mindful of social media's role in spreading misinformation and unverified claims, which "can compromise active investigations and contribute to a sense of chaos that does not reflect the full picture."

他的办公室敦促公众注意,社交媒体在传播错误信息和未经证实的说法方面的作用,这“可能会影响进行中的调查,并导致一种无法反映全貌的混乱感”。

"We are actively working every lead and deploying every available resource," Gulluni added. "At this time, there is no indication that these incidents are connected to each other or are they [are] part of a larger public safety threat."

“我们正在调查每条线索并部署所有的可用资源,” 古鲁尼补充道。“目前,没有迹象表明这些事件相互关联,又或者它们 [是] 更大的公共安全威胁有关。”

Authorities are asking anyone with information relevant to investigations in the Springfield area to come forward and contact the Springfield Police Department Detective Bureau at 413-787-6355 or through text a tip by texting CRIMES (2-7-4-6-3-7), typing SOLVE, and writing your tip.

当局请求任何有斯普林菲尔德地区调查的有关信息的人挺身而出,致电413-787-6355联系斯普林菲尔德警察局刑侦处,或通过发送短信CRIMES(2-7-4-6-3-7)提供线索,输入SOLVE,并写下你的线索。

"As always, our focus is on seeking justice, supporting victims and their families, and maintaining the safety of our community," the DA's office said.

“与往常一样,我们的重点是寻求正义,帮助受害者及其家人,并维护我们的社区的安全,”检察官办公室表示。

The eerie rumors began circulating on a Facebook group called "New England Serial Killer," which has since changed its name due to Facebook rules and regulations. Over the last two months, human remains have been located in New Haven, Norwalk, Groton and Killingly, Connecticut; Foster, Rhode Island; and Framingham, Plymouth and now Springfield, Massachusetts. Some social media users say these discoveries of human remains — particularly, female remains — across the three neighboring states may indicate a serial killer.

这个怪异的谣言一开始在一个名为“新英格兰的连环杀手”的Facebook群组上流传,该群组后来由于Facebook的规则和规定而更名。在过去的两个月里,在康涅狄格州的纽黑文、诺沃克、格罗顿和基林利;罗德岛州福斯特;以及普利茅斯的弗雷明汉和现在的马萨诸塞州斯普林菲尔德陆续发现了人类遗骸。一些社交媒体用户表示,在三个相邻州发现人类遗骸——尤其是女性遗骸——可能表明存在连环杀手。

But Connecticut State Police told Fox News Digital last week that "there is no information at this time suggesting any connection to similar remains discoveries, and there is also no known threat to the public at this time," regarding the deaths in Connecticut.

但康涅狄格州警方上周告诉福克斯新闻数字频道,关于康涅狄格州的死亡事件,“目前没有信息显示发现的遗骸之间有任何联系,目前也没有已知的公众威胁”。

The New England Serial Killer Facebook group, which now has 66,700 members, has garnered nearly 20,000 new members this month as searches for "New England serial killer" on Google spiked around April 7, according to data from the search engine.

根据搜索引擎的数据,由于4月7日左右谷歌上对“新英格兰的连环杀手”的搜索量激增,拥有66,700名成员的新英格兰的连环杀手Facebook群组本月已得到将近20,000名新成员。
