The human remains discovered in an upscale Rhode Island beach town, not far from pop icon Taylor Swift’s mansion, have been identified as police conclude their investigation.

The remains were found ashore on May 14 in the affluent coastal area of Watch Hill, which is part of the town of Westerly, Rhode Island, located just down the beach from Swift’s expansive mansion. 

The South Kingstown Police Department positively identified the remains of Eric Wein, 31, of Massachusetts, who was reported missing on April 18.

Police said Wein’s vehicle was located in South Kingstown on April 10, days before he was officially reported missing.

“In light of the recent comments being made, we know that Michele’s passing is in no way related to any type of serial killer,” the family of Michele Romano remarked upon the identification of her remains.

Romano’s body was the first of the 13 to be discovered. She was found in Foster, Rhode Island, in March, about 49 miles from Westerly. 

“We have complete faith in the Rhode Island State Police and our Private Investigator that the person responsible will be brought to justice sooner rather than later! We would appreciate it if people on social media/news or other platforms would stop making false statements that our Michele is in any way the victim of a serial killer!!”

Gingerella attributed the serial killer fears to “the power of social media.” Despite the rumors, he added that he believes social media “has more benefits than negatives.”
