Clearly the politicians have told the police that they can't say a serial killer running around Austin. What's the number of "accidents" up to now? I stopped counting at eight.

How do you get a felony charge for throwing a pop-tart at a person? It’s amazing that this guy goes to jail but nothing happens to the guy who kicked another guy in the face with a boot. My sympathies for the victim there. Crazy stuff like this is why I’m glad I left that stupid city.
7 bodies...... 0 homicides....Are you saying that body of water literally thinks it needs Bodies to stay a body of water? Since apparently you get the urge to jump when you get close
No foul play? Yet, there have been several bodies found in that lake in the last few years? Give me a break. If they don’t already, I would think it would be ideal to over 24 hours security and or surveillance in that area to determine why people keep mysteriously found dead there. That’s ridiculous.
You always investigate a death as a homicide. If no evidence is found to support homicide, then so be it.

Austin police are in dangerous denial. What's the deal?
$11000 bond for attempted kidnapping. That judge needs to be removed.
Im confused, so the bodies of all these people only in the past few years began showing up? has this lake ALWAYS had an issue with possibly drunk people falling in? And is the number of people, “drowning” in this lake normal? I feel as though this has only been happening for a year or so at this frequency. Either austin Texas residents suddenly forgot how to swim or someone is responsible for these deaths other than the deceased

"Normal operational procedures will be followed!"
Austin is terrible. Its obviously a serial killer. There have been many many men found dead after leaving a bar down close to the river. One that thankfully had a friend walking with him said he fely hot and really messed up like he had been drugged. If not for his friend ,he may have been murdered. They need cameras everywhere around there. This is crazy. I have lived in another part of Texas with lots of rivers and lakes and this is way beyond normal.
The poptart bit made me cackle at how out of place it seemed to be with the rest of the news…. What is this world coming to? 😅 🤦🏽♀️
No foul play In none of the deaths At the Lake 🤔
How many does this make now?
Wake up Austin! There's a serial killer living amongst you. 🤦🏻♂️
Um guy found upstream alive, male found dead downstream on same day…… no connection? How many bodies do they need to pull out of that river, to see a pattern?
Nope! Come on, people 🙄 You apparently have a serious problem, like maybe a serial killer???? On Raney St ? Check out all the people on that street that's associated with the street name Family & D Initial or even someone first name and last name 👍 How well do you know ur Neighbors? ask yourself that
The reason Austin decided to get the guy help was because the media got involved. Cities don't like that kind of attention 👍

I read since 2022 12 people have drowned in Lady Bird Lake. There have been other drownings in nearby waterways as well. I find that odd. Lake Piru where actress Naya River drowned has also had a high number of drownings. There have been an unusually high number of drownings since the 90s in various US lakes. The number is in the hundreds possibly in the low thousands. What are the odds that most of the victims are college age, white males. Some had been drinking others hadn't. They disappeared and were found drowned. In Indiana an 18 year old high school boy went to Versailles State Park in March to take pictures, he was a talented photographer, and was found drowned. He had no reason to be in the lake. I find that highly disturbing but there are no signs of foul play, Something very strange has been going on for a very long time.
You couldnt pay me to swim in that lake!
I can't write them all off but overly drunkenness played an instrument in most of these mysterious cases and that's what I am Discerning. 😮
