KCPD: Social media post claiming serial killer on loose in KC ‘completely unfounded’

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (KCTV) - Viral social media posts state a serial killer is targeting young Black girls in Kansas City.

The Kansas City Police Department, however, said those claims are not verifiable.

There's a serial killer in Kansas City targeting young black girls and nobody is reporting on it. 4 victims in the past week and 3 more girls reported missing. We really gotta protect our own bc it's evident why this isn't news worthy.

A TikTok/YouTube post from The Kansas City Defender said there are four women murdered and three others missing from the area around 85th Street and Prospect Avenue. It also called out police, government officials and activists for their silence on the alleged crimes.

Police said “there is no basis to support this rumor.”
