What a bizarre story! Detectives think that a “Smiley Face Gang” might be connected with the drownings of 40 young men from across the nation.

Detectives: 40 Drowning Victims May Have Been Murdered by ‘Smiley Face Gang’
At least 40 young men who drowned may have died by far more sinister means — serial killings at the hands of a national gang that revels in murdering young men and leaving smiley-face markings at the scene, a team of retired New York City police detectives and criminal justice investigators said Monday.

They believe the victims, including University of Minnesota student Chris Jenkins and Fordham University student Patrick McNeill, didn’t accidentally drown but were actually killed by members of the so-called “Smiley Face Gang,” KSTP in St. Paul reported.

A smiley-face symbol was found painted at some of the drowning locations — in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Indiana, Wisconsin and Iowa, they told the station.

“They’re telling you here that they’re into evil, they’re very happy as most serial killers are,” retired NYPD Det. Kevin Gannon said to KSTP. “They’re content with their work and what they’re doing and the fact that they’re thwarting the police.”

Chilling, isn’t it? It is supremely sad that there are people with so much hate in their hearts that they would get pleasure from murdering another human being.
