About this Episode
In Austin, TX, bodies are being pulled from Lady Bird Lake with alarming frequency; four bodies in the past month, eight bodies in less than a year, and 25 bodies in the past eight years. Several of the victims suddenly vanished in the middle of the night after going out with friends on Rainey Street. But the similarities do not stop there. Not even close. This has sparked speculations on social media that a serial killer is targeting Rainey Street revelers in Austin, TX but Austin PD states there is no indication of foul play and the deaths are unrelated. Chris reviews the list of deaths and weighs in with her experienced perspective. Are the social media rumors overblown or could there be a Rainey Street Ripper?
