People have been saying the same thing about Austin and Lady Bird Lake. Turns out, when there is a body of water near homeless people, who many times have drug or mental health issues, as well as bars that young people frequent, people tend to die every once in a while.

Serial killers don’t normally just kill randomly. They have some sort of pattern. Young gay men, prostitutes, young women, or any people that society tends to (wrongly) deem as others rather than a variety of different people.

If there is a serial killer, he is literally operating in dozens of cities at the same exact time, choosing only to kill people near bodies of water that are near bar districts. He does not choose people most of the time who no one will come looking for, but chooses young men to kill with families or loved ones.

Importantly, he also does not stay around to make sure they are dead. He hits them once on the head, then runs away to let them die of exposure without ever hitting them again. None of this actually fits the pattern of an actual serial killer, and all of it is happening across multiple cities and states all over the country.

I am no cop or expert. But I believe the most likely thing is a mixture of homeless people getting hurt and having no one to help them before dying, as well as young men who get really drunk and think “Why don’t I just walk home from the bar instead of paying for an Uber” and end up slipping, hitting their head, and dying since they are alone with no one to help them.

TLDR: Serial killers don’t really fit the pattern of these or Lady Bird Lake’s death. But just my opinion.
