Another body has been recovered from a Houston waterway, marking the first such death of 2026 and reigniting fears over the growing number of people found dead in the city’s bayous. Authorities say the latest victim was pulled from Buffalo Bayou, adding to a troubling pattern after more than 30 bodies were recovered from Houston waterways last year. While police and prosecutors insist there is no evidence of a serial killer, public concern continues to grow. Law&Crime’s Jesse Weber breaks down what is known about the latest case, the data behind the bayou deaths, and the official response with criminologist Dr. Debbie Goodman.
