“I saw three police cars—one undercover—two looked like Westerly town police officers, and there was a medical examiner pulling in behind me,” Taylor Day said told NBC10 at the time. “It kind of alarmed me, and it was just something very out of the ordinary for Westerly.”

“I would definitely disagree with that,” Day said. “I think finding a leg is very suspicious.”

Day said while the discovery is odd, people should take notice of what has been going on everywhere including their own backyards.

“It was probably a couple football fields away from Taylor Swift’s house and the Ocean House,” she said. “I would never expect anything like that—especially not in Watch Hill.”

“My mind immediately went to all the theories that are being thrown around,” Day concluded. “I’m more aware of my surroundings. I don’t go [to] places that are kind of dim or where I could be alone. Just trying to stay out in public and be vigilant.”

Swift has not spoken out amid the discovery.
