The Smiley Face Killer Theory (Part 1)

For over two decades, college-aged men across the United States have gone missing

after nights out with friends. Days later… their bodies are found in rivers.

Lakes. Canals. Police rule them accidental drownings. But families noticed

something disturbing. Many of the victims were athletic. Strong swimmers. Sober — or nearly

sober. And found miles from where they were last seen. Then came the

detail that changed everything. Near many of the recovery sites… there was graffiti.

A simple symbol. Painted nearby. A smiley face. Former detectives believe these deaths are

connected — part of a coordinated group targeting young men. Law enforcement says it’s coincidence.
