A former detective, Kevin Gannon, has stirred controversy by suggesting that a series of 16 deaths in Houston may be linked to a network of serial killers known as the 'Smiley Face' killers. Despite Gannon's claims, local authorities have firmly denied any connections to a serial killer, emphasizing that the investigations are ongoing. This situation raises significant concerns about public safety and the effectiveness of current investigative methods, as the community grapples with the unsettling possibility of a hidden threat.
