In 22 months, twelve victims of drowning, all men 20 to 40 years old, but they don't see a pattern?

They could easily put up cameras if they cared.

Finally a news crew is talking about it

Their all men? This is not an accident

This guy saying he believes in the police department here in Austin is clearly out of touch…

It’s obvious that it’s serial killer activity.

This was the wrong guy to interview for this story. He sounds like he is part of a cover up.

That "expert" is stuttering hesitantly waaaay too much for me to take him seriously. Honestly, THAT many deaths of the SAME gender, SAME age bracket, SAME manner of death, SAME secluded location....that's what the FBI calls an MO. Also, ANY white man that says "he has faith in our local law enforcement"...of course HE does! He'll always be taken seriously. Also, those "internet slueths" have solved more cold cases than local law enforcement than many care to admit but sure...way to downplay citizen's concerns until you NEED them to solve these types of cases. Disgraceful!

Maybe they need to put a bunch of night vision trail cams, solar lamps & maybe a citzen patrol all over the place!

Austin has more than enough money to Install Cameras to watch this area 24/7 if they wanted

This man doesn’t give two sh*ts about what he’s saying

Well, that interview was pointless and revealed absolutely NOTHING.

It’s A Cop!!!!

You guys consistently get the worst experts to speak on television.

They should drain that lake...pay a few investogstors to monitor it day and night, place in cameras. They will probably find a whole lot more bodies there. This is sad.

When someone drowns it’s pretty obvious in the autopsy findings. The water in the lungs etc… are a tell tale sign (my dad and grandad were morticians and pathologists). Unless the body has been outside in the elements so long that cause of death is difficult or impossible to determine, drowning is an easy assessment. Police are often the last organization to catch killers. They are often the most dismissive of missing persons. I think this is a situation that police have created by their past treatment of missing persons later found to be homicide victims. The public has lost trust….look up all the serial killers of children and sex workers. They are often neglected. One thing that catches serial killers-their compulsive behavior. They keep killing!

Get off your butts and be more proactive about these cases. Stop playing with these tax payers.

How high must the number get to before it becomes a problem?

I live in New York. We have lakes and rivers and none of them have had anything like this going on. Are there accidental deaths; yes. But they are far and few between. How do they think they don't have a serial killer? That's insane. I don't think any ocean beaches have had that many deaths in a short period of time either. Something sinister is going on.

TWELVE COINCIDENCE??? PLEASE

I live in Louisiana, my family lives all over Texas, and we have never heard of this 😮 I don't trust this creepy liar of a man.

I saw a documentary about these suspicious deaths which occurred near Lady Bird Lake in Austin. I do not believe it is one serial killer but rather a group of persons working together. They are like "lake pirates". There is a big night life scene downtown Austin near the lake. Based on the information presented in the documentary, I believe certain "taxi" drivers and bar owners work together secretly targeting these men who are new to the Austin area or are in town on a business trip. The "taxi" drivers recommend certain bars. Then bar owners incapacitate these men by putting a strong drug in their drinks, robbing them of money and credit cards, and murdering these drugged men by beating them to death or by dumping them into the water so that they drown. One man who barely managed to escape told his story in the documentary. He had gone to several bars in that area and then at one he began to feel very strange after a sip of one drink. He could not speak and was barely able to walk, almost to the point of being paralyzed. He managed to stagger away from the bar and get help. He later discovered that his watch, money, and wallet had been taken. He said the next day when he had recovered at his hotel, he checked his bank account and it had been emptied - over $15,000.00 stolen. Sometimes these victims are just dumped in the water and drown because they are under the influence of the strong drug they were given and cannot swim or help themselves, cannot fight back or even call out for help. I believe the police are well aware what is happening. These incidents are not accidents, and they are not suicides. It is time for the State of Texas to clean up that downtown area and stop these tragic deaths.

Clearly there is a problem 😢 !!!!

My condolences Rip

They don’t care when it’s a certain type of citizen. Look after one another.

How about if this is someone from the police force. I'm just saying that should be checked out

It's definitely a serial killer out, maybe even a cop

There’s a short story about this lake on KZfaq … so many deaths

god help us all.

A lot of people from Austin have said this for years APD denies it but we know how that goes

What do you mean IF there was a problem? One body is a problem. You have what 12 and 2 years in one lake. And that's not a problem??? Im totally confused, officer???😮

You got a problem when 12 to 15. People have unlived within a year and a 1/2.

there is a killer killing men leaving bars alone and putting their bodies in nearby bodies of water. I would not be surprised if there were multiple men kidnapping men who are alone, possible drunk and dumping them-now they could be working together or just happens they are working at the same dam time.

What in the world This is unbelievable, the enemy is here, kill steal, and destroy!😢

May they all rest in peace

Also this guy is clueless 😢

Definitely a serial killer out there , they fly under the radaar these days with social media having most people's attention. Pay two people to watch the lake and you'll catch him. 11-12 bodies yea thats his dumping ground but he gonna change up wit news exposure now. My condolences to all the families 🕊

It’s a cult

At any given time, there are several serial killers across the nation... They just don't tell the masses because they don't want to alarm people.

The FBI needs to be looking in these case. If they are in it already, Great.

They need to put cameras all around that area or drain it and close it indefinitely

Self Defense is Extremely important Amerikkka is DANGEROUS

Here in houston ....keep finding male victims now they up in Austin ....serial...I say

PRAYERS 🙏

Isiah....this is a pathetic attempt at investigative journalism...

Now they doing it in chicago 2 that I know of smh you all know what time it is keep your eyes and ears open !!! And watch yourself and kids please!!!!!!!!!!!😡😡😡😡😡😡😡

I thought Austin was the place to be?

This guy is part of the problem. He is clearly trying to discredit the deaths are not of a serial killer. I’m sure he is on the police pay roll.

That sounds like a very smart serial killer.

I live in austin and work in the area where these deaths have occurred. I DON'T agree with what he said about having faith in APD. It's kinda lawless around here.

Those coyotes are not getting paid ! 😢people are playing with human trafficking in Houston Texas . To the point the sheriff are protecting

Think about it. I told my mom this !! We lived in Austin in the 90s no issues with bodies being found. I currently live 45 min from Austin for the past 7 yrs no bodies found. Once everyone started migrating to Texas women ended up missing in houston and bodies found in Austin’s lake. This migration of outsiders started two years ago 🎯🎯🎯

WOW! That lake, 10 years ago, use to be a popular lake hangout i remember going to college there. I cant believe this is happening there! Prayers for the family.

Looks like a lovely trail, but I wouldn’t go there

We live in a wicked world

Why won’t they put a few patrol officers out there during night time, patrolling? They need to adjust our tax dollars better.

Is there any type of surveillance around that lake and area? That's not a coincidence that many deaths in 22 months. Watch it be someone many least expect.

There's no coincidences

Organ Organization

Everything except for cameras

They should put cameras along the lake

I heard about some Shxt Happening Back in 21 whenever I Visited Austin. People was saying about bodies being pulled out the River whenever Downtown...

She is beautiful and she has done more than the Austin Police! Her information can help solve the case! She found out sooo much!

Serial killer is a cop or adjacent…allegedly. Gotta look where sociopaths work, Logic.

You’d think the police department would open an investigation even if just to appease the citizens of the city …

Good morning y’all have a serial killer ! Something very suspicious is happening Sr. ? My deepest condolences to there families & thoughts and prayers ! R.I.P 🖤🖤🖤How about some cameras 🎥? 🙏🏻♥️🇺🇸

Prayers for all these families.

Praying for this family 😪🙏

Yes there is.

RIP John

I'm so deeply sorry

If THAT police department had a "brain stem" they would dispatch a team to patrol THAT lake. It's "regular people" like us in the comment sections making the right decisions. #Desensitized #UVALDE AGAIN!!!

I wonder if Ladybird Lake was built over a town similar to Lake Lanier in Georgia, where many mysterious deaths and freak accidents have occurred over the years? In other words might the area be cursed or haunted?

Mr. Black did a video about this. He even interviewed someone that had woke up a month later from being found around that lake.

😢 Bless her 🙏

Please have a "expert" on who gives a damn.

There's a serial killer in Austin, TX

My opinion Every black man in USA south should have a mini service animal via the 13th Amenment mess. A Maltese, Chuawawa, Snauzer, pitbully, with a hidden collar camera.

Yeah probably someone they let out of jail no bail smh

What’s autopsies say cause of death.

Good luck, Austin.

This man is clueless!

What do the autopsies say? If you didn’t go there to swim, how do you end up in the water? How far away from home were these people?

People get drugged all the time here in Austin downtown at the bars. A woman was arrested recently for putting drugs in men’s drinks to rob them. These are just unfortunate drownings from drugs/alcohol. That area is where people go to get effed up and nothing good happens after midnight

*Joe Rogan* : Look up a brown bear, turning a blind eye to a mass serial killing in progress 😂

😢

The Atlanta Child murders in 1981 APD put Police & FBI in the rivers & woods until they caught Wayne Williams re: murdered 22 Children. Austin PD has poor work ethic. They love riding in police cars 🚓. Family needs to protest 🪧 right in front of their bldg on 715 E. 8th Street. Chief Henderson & APD?! They have Manpower & Resources! If it were in WESTLAKE [WEALTHY] HOW Fast would they run to surveillance that area???

How about CAMERAS

Make sure people are safe.

Not a coincidence. I’ve followed this story and there is definitely a serial killer. I don’t know why police insist that these are all accidents. They should do their jobs too keep people safe

Alot of lakes rivers need camera surveillance in America so they can solve these incidents without naming suicide everytime i dont believe its suicide i believe the person doing the k i l l i n g by the river and or lakes know that they will get away with it they are smart

Maybe the police should study Herb Baumeister if they are in denial

We can only hope.

😢😢😢😢 prayers for the family

It was probably the police doing it.

Stya heaven 😂❤❤ Innalilahi wa innailaihi rojiun

No

There’s clearly an issue that’s a lot of drownings imo and it’s only men drowning 🤔🤔🤔

“ If there was foul play or shady activity, I think the police would have a handle on it. “ The man is just giving us his opinion at this point and nothing to actually inform us of why specifically these are not intentional.

Stop going to that Lake!
