Young Men Dying on Campus Skyrockets

New Helena University Admissions Department where the body of one victim was found in July

At a time when our city cops are reporting a drop in gang related violence there is a new crime wave hitting another section of New Helena, our university.

Every year deaths from alcohol related incidents are a sad reality within the college community, it has come to be expected from the cops that bodies of young people will be found lifeless and causing heartache for everyone involved.  In 2006 NHU had six deaths on or around the campus, that number dropped in 2007 to three.  And when young men started to be found dead from apparent accidents beginning in April of 2008 the police force wrote it off to being accidents from alcohol related pranks.  Yet as the number of young men being found dead skyrocketed they cops were forced to take another look.

In the past six months the bodies of eleven young men with their necks broken have been found in or around the campus.  Seven found with little to no blood remaining in their bodies due to an apparent anemic disease.  Yet many of the eleven found with their necks broken also suffered from the same affliction which has led the cops to link all eighteen deaths, all men, to the same unknown suspect.

News Helena contacted Chief Potter of the NHPD but our calls and emails have been left unanswered.  A source close to the police department says there are no leads in the case of so many young men dying and no correlation that any of the victims even knew one another.
