Full Episode
Hey, true crime besties. Welcome back to an all new episode of Serialistly. Hey everybody, welcome back to an all new episode of Serialistly with me, Annie Elise. The case we're talking about today is one that has been in the works for quite some time because a lot of you guys have been requesting it for well over a year now, maybe even two years.
It's taking us to Austin, Texas, and the title of this episode may have already given it away of what case we're talking about today. But it is one of the eeriest and I don't want to say complex, but almost like confusing, maybe one of the most confusing cases out there, because it's one of those cases where there's so many unanswered questions, so many possibilities.
And like, I hate this word, but a lot of like spooky things surrounding this case to where it's hard to really make sense of it all. And And let me just kind of break it down. So for the past several years, there's been something that has just casting this like dark cloud over Austin, Texas.
And it all started back in 2022 because bodies of mostly young men just started turning up in a lake that sits right there in the heart of the city. Just one after another after another. And what is interesting, too, is that all of these victims have striking similarities. not just in age, but in what they were doing right before they died.
Because they all went missing in the same popular, buzzing, nightlife-type area, similar to, you know, you might recall Riley Strain in Nashville, but the, you know, the beat of downtown where everybody's hanging out, partying, drinking, it's popular nightlife, and then they just vanish. And Then, later, of course, turn up in this lake, and it's just happening one after another.
So naturally, all of the locals have been freaking out, right? They think that there's a possible serial killer on the loose. I mean, what other conclusion could you really come to, right? However, the police continue to insist that there is absolutely no reason to panic.
In fact, they say that there's no obvious signs of foul play, and that all of these deaths, simply, they're chalking it up to accidental drownings. They basically are saying, you know what? All of these guys, all of these victims, they were out partying, they were drinking heavily, then they accidentally stumbled into the lake, they drown, and that's really all it is.
There's nothing bigger at play here. There's no reason to be scared. But despite these reassurances from the police, the community...
is scared they are fearful it's not adding up to them i mean maybe you could explain one two maybe call it even three accidental drownings but the amount of bodies that they have been discovering i don't know it gives me a little bit of pause too so people can't help but wonder Is there something else going on that is darker and deeper here? Could there be a serial killer?
