Serial killer fears rise as three dozen bodies are found in a lake

Serial killer fears rise with the discovery of three dozen bodies in and around Lady Bird Lake in the last three years.

While two of the cases have been ruled suicides, the rest remain under investigation. While the authorities assure there isn’t a mass murderer on the loose, rumors have persisted as new bodies are discovered.

Most recently, the remains of a teenager have been found in Lady Bird Lake, possibly linked to a 17-year-old teen who vanished on Sunday while kayaking with his family.

The clothes of the body match those worn by the missing boy, but still, the police are waiting the results from the medical examiner’s office.

His death was listed as drowning with no foul play suspected.

“The teenager got off his kayak to stand in shallow water. He was not wearing a life jacket at the time. Investigators have determined that he was unknowingly standing near an underwater shelf, which is a sudden drop-off in the lake, when he stepped or slipped off and did not resurface,” the Austin Police Department explained.

According to Fox 7, over the course of three years, the bodies of 38 people have been pulled out of Lady Bird Lake.

The leading causes of death have been drowning, drug overdoses, suicide, and natural causes. About half a dozen of these cases remain unknown. 

Last year, a man named Jeff Jones travelled to Austin to a bachelor party. Before heading to pubs on the notoriously boisterous West 6th Street, Jones, 38, had dinner with his friends.

Two weeks later, he woke up at the hospital, with metal rods supporting his back.

Doctors explained that he was found in water after falling 25 feet from a bridge. They discovered date-rape drug Rohypnol in his system.

Jones believed he was drugged and then pushed into the lake.

His testimony only intensified the speculations and fears about a serial killer.

Speaking to the Daily Mail, Jones said, “The things that lead to it being a serial killer is that it’s a very specific type of victim, which I fit, they don’t have anything stolen from them, they drown in the water, and they disappear in the middle of the night.”

Thirty out of 38 victims discovered in the water are males aged 30 to 49.
