Texas friends, have you ever heard of the name "Rainey Street Ripper"?
In the heart of the capital city of Austin, there is a Bitan called "Lady Bird", surrounded by many mansions, which belongs to a veritable affluent area.

However, some residents here have the idea of moving.
Because since 22, at least 12 bodies have been salvaged in the lake, and the neighborhood is rumored that the "Texas Serial Killer" is hidden here.

The most recent bodies were found on April 9 and April 13.
In mid-February last year, 33-year-old Jonathan Honey came to Rainey St, Austin's prestigious "Pub Street".
After a lot of drinks and jumping, at 2 a.m. that night, the man mysteriously disappeared after buying a late-night snack in front of the Taco Truck on Bar Street.
In April, Austin police fished out the body of an unnamed man, who had swollen and swollen, from Lady Bird Lake, 1.8 miles from Rainey St.
经过DNA比对检测，确认是Jonathan Honey。
Coincidentally, 30-year-old Jason John was also lost from Rainey St in February last year, and his body was fished out of Lady Bird Lake one week later.
Also last February, Clifton Axtell, a 40-year-old man, was also reported missing in Austin.
He had a harmonious family and two children, but after visiting Stubb's bar in the city, he disappeared into thin air, until his body was also recovered from the lake in March.
而最恐怖地，要数John Christopher Hays-Clark。
Last April, a boater on the Colorado River spotted a floating humanoid object on the surface of the water at 1 p.m. as they approached Lady Bird.
I thought it was a humanoid model going downstream, but when they took a closer look, they found that it was a whole male corpse with white white lips and purple lips.
Subsequently, the police took samples and determined that it was John Christopher Hays-Clark, a 30-year-old man who had long since disappeared.

Austin police confirmed that multiple bodies had also been found in the lake 10 months earlier.
"Serial killer" fears are back
Faced with the corpses found in the lake one after another, Texas residents couldn't help but be terrified.
How did these people who disappeared from Bar Street choose to walk for nearly 35 minutes on a dark night and plunge into the lake?
"Is there a serial killer who follows and then commits the crime and then throws their bodies into the river?"
In a local FB group with 89,000 people called the "Lady Bird Serial Killer Discussion Group," Texans started Sherlock Holmes to collect evidence.
Some say the Rainey neighborhood, like most bar districts across the country, has a drug abuse problem, and it's not far from the area's infamous Sixth Street.
In the bar street, it is not excluded that someone adds a "drug" to the target drink, and after the target drinks it, the killer can do it.
One bartender even broke the news that a customer who claimed to be a "killer" had told him that he was the rumored Rainey Street ripper, and described how he targeted "gay men" on the street and threw them into the river.

However, despite the affiliation, the Austin police denied the existence of the "serial killer" at a press conference.
They said the police did not have any evidence of the existence of the "conspiracy theory".
What do you think?
