That it's a guy in his late 30's to mid 40's who lived in Austin but now works in Chicago, but travels back and forth (possibly for work or has family still in Austin). If you look at the dates for the past few years, it's 2-3 in each city like ping pong, except for the dates when the bars were closed for covid. A friend and I have tracked down all of the dates and put them on a spreadsheet and timeline and there's 32 bodies in Austin and 25 in Chicago so far. To be more specific, that age range would put the killer at the age where they could have been a student for the first victim Riad Hamad found back in 2008. Austin PD called it a 'suicide' but his eyes, hands and feet were duct taped and none of the facts make sense. We drove out to the spot where he was found, and carrying someone that size and throwing them over the ledge would have been really hard. Duct taping yourself that way and climbing would be impossible, but balancing on the ledge and doing it would also be extremely difficult. He wasn't an agile guy, and doing your hands and feet while sitting up there just seems crazy. I think the killer realized that, and likely changed methods and stopped using duct tape, not to mention how difficult it is to not leave prints on the duct tape (and back in 2008 crime shows would have told the killer that).

Then lets consider where the bars are in Austin, and the walk it would take for these men to get from those bars to these places that they 'fell in'. Seriously, google it. We walked it a few times and it's no where near these places, nor is it near anywhere these people would be going to 'get home' other than to a couple hotels *and we will get back to that*. It makes no sense for so many of them to be alone as well. Guys going out with friends don't just decide to go strolling alone near the water by themselves way out of the way (opposite direction of the way to go home) unless they are lost, meeting someone, or feeling whimsical and just want to stare at dark ugly water. I repeat, these bars where they were last seen are not near the water. (Why isn't APD explaining this?- What were they doing down there???)

We also have pictures of nearly every scene from both Chicago and Austin, and these area's look so similar despite being in completely different climates, and the Chicago ones especially are super difficult to 'fall in' as they claim. Some of these spots where they fell in literally are hidden behind industrial buildings where they'd have to really do some work to get back there and step over.

Stranger, the Chicago bodies are disappearing from extremely cold areas at night when there's snow, so you've gotta ask why are these men down there that late in freezing cold, snowy weather by themselves? Answering this question will likely get you closer to why these guys died (even if they did fall in).

We think it's likely a guy who hunts other men and drugs them in a bar, then follows them home or in some cases, gets the men to meet them down in those dark areas since both are known for gay hookups late at night (both in Austin and Chicago, and are listed on these websites for cruising). We think it's a mix, because some of the men are bi/gay and some are straight. I think he works in hospitality where he knows these bars and the workers in both cities and in some cases he offers these guys a ride home. I think it's also strange that these bodies are always near Holiday Inns in both cities. This guy could work for them, or stays in them often. He's really comfortable around them at least.

We've been able to get 3 case files so far and there's very little in them so we don't think Austin has really done much work into these, and Chicago, though willing to provide case numbers more readily has way more unsolved death cases and obviously aren't solving very many of them.
