The problem with these claims is that Kansas City Police Department said these claims are not verifiable. Kansas City Police Department released a statement about the viral post on social media claiming there is a serial killer in Kansas City.

“We are aware of the social media post circulating regarding the murder of 4 women in Kansas City, Missouri in the past week at the hands of a “serial killer” and the report of 3 additional women missing. We want to make the public aware this claim is completely unfounded. There is no basis to support this rumor. Furthermore, we notify the media any time we respond to a homicide. There is a daily homicide analysis which is also posted on our website. There has been 1 female homicide victim in the last six weeks which occurred in the 3600 block of Cypress Ave.”

Local news outlets are having the same response as Kansas City Police Department.
