Lady Bird Lake 911 Call Reveals New Details as Serial Killer Fears Spiral

Despite a dozen bodies being pulled from Lady Bird Lake in the last two years, police in Austin, Texas insist there are no connections between the cases. Theories about a serial killer targeting men in the city’s entertainment district have spread quickly, with calls for law enforcement to step up safety protocols near the infamous lake. Law&Crime’s Jesse Weber analyzes the mystery with forensic death investigator, and host of the Body Bags podcast, Joseph Scott Morgan.

Police: “ There isn’t a serial killer.”
Serial Killer: “Look what time it is!”

[ravenstarfire]

They put cameras all around traffic lights, but they cant put cameras around Lady bird lake and Rainy street where it keeps happening but APD insists these are accidents and not a serial killer? Ok....

[elaina]

I simply don’t understand why police don’t have CONSTANT surveillance there yet!?

[lucy-ymvg]

Why are these men so disoriented, drunk, throwing up and than falling in the lake....its like these men had something in their drinks and walked away not knowing whats happening and falling in

[keyshooboo]

For the 911 calls, closed captioning is recommended.

[margaretlumley]

It's about time the local cops took this seriously. The whole thing is insane. So many suspicious deaths, yet they refuse to investigate 😮

[NotIfWhen]

The crime is that recording. I recorded on cassette tapes in the 80s that were better quality.

[kbkb]

Props to this dispatcher for letting him talk and not interrupting a thousand times

[RolfieandHarley]

So, if there are a lot of establishments that serve alcohol along Lady Bird Lake and all these bodies are popping up, why are there not cameras/video equipment along the walkway/Trail along this lake?

[jimboalogo]

Amazing that anyone could understand a word that caller said.

[lorih]

Let’s not forget about the one that got away, one man reported waking up disoriented in a male stranger’s car and believing his drink had been drugged, then managing to escape

[christiansantos]

Methanol tainted alcohol symptoms:
Confusion.
Vomiting.
Seizures.
Trouble staying conscious or awake.
Skin that looks blue, gray or pale.

my whole city is surrounded by water and never heard of nothing like this with over 200k pop.

[ThaSoulReaper]

My uncle died at a bus stop near the downtown Austin area at the end of 2022 and my cousin died a year later under a bridge in Austin with no signs of drugs in his system, both ruled suicides automatically by APD, but I know it’s a killer!

[michelleb]

Someone is getting a sick thrill of drugging (mostly) men’s drinks and waiting to hear the consequences. I live in a city near a river where there’s plenty nightlife and this is not normal. In no other city in the US is this a common occurrence and there are lots of towns/cities with bars around bodies of water.

[Elizabeth-nfdr]

More than 10 years ago, LBL had no lights or cameras and I was repeatedly warned to stay clear from the trail there during night time. Why has nothing changed?!

[joyboykuro]

Was that Boomhauer on the call or what?

[miejeana]

Are accidental because they dont want to fall into the lake, obviously. But there is a criminal side because, most likely, someone is spiking drinks.

[DrothaBarber]

This is definitely not accidental. Been in Austin 25 yrs. And nothing like this has happened till now.

[alliibee]

wtf is this recorded on? It’s 2024 and this is what we are getting?!
