Woodlands of Silence: The New England String of Unexplained Fatalities

Thirteen lives. Thirteen tragedies. Thirteen families searching for answers.

In 2025, across New England, an unsettling pattern emerged—bodies discovered in woods, rivers, and quiet neighborhoods from Massachusetts to Rhode Island. At first glance, each case seemed isolated: addiction struggles, mental health battles, missing persons. But together, the deaths painted a chilling mosaic that demanded attention.

In this episode of Cigar and A Crime, we light up in the Lounge of Truth and confront the questions others would rather ignore. Were these fatalities connected, or was the silence that followed more telling than any evidence? We explore the victims’ stories, the law enforcement response, and the voices of families who refused to let their loved ones be forgotten.

The smoke never lies.

If you came for a recap, you’re in the wrong room. This is about resurrecting voices, naming names, and refusing silence.
