When 30 and 40 year old dudes are referred to as “young men” you know what that means, but you don’t dare say gay.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lady_Bird_Lake

On July 26, 2007, the Austin City Council passed a resolution authorizing the renaming of the reservoir from Town Lake to Lady Bird Lake in honor of Lady Bird Johnson, who had died earlier that month.[6

Swimming in Lady Bird Lake is illegal not due to poor water quality from the run-off from area streets, which is a false rumor, but rather due to several drownings

For the first time in August 2019, a toxic blue-green algae was found in the lake and reportedly killed at least 5 dogs who were exposed.[15]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smiley_face_murder_theory

“The smiley face murder theory ... advanced by retired New York City detectives ... alleges that a number of young men found dead in bodies of water across several Midwestern American states from the late 1990s to the 2010s did not accidentally drown, as concluded by law enforcement agencies, but were victims of a serial killer or killers... [It] connects the deaths of 45 college-age males whose dead bodies were found in water in 11 states, often after leaving parties or bars where they had been drinking”

“The body of a missing Navy sailor who vanished after being kicked out of an Illinois nightclub last month has been found in Lake Michigan”

“he was escorted out of the club for being too drunk”

“the police have stated that the bodies show no signs of trauma.”

Probably not a serial killer then, unless the MO is luring or pushing drunk men into the water.

I always like it when someone tells others to “stay safe.” I heard that a lot during the death virus days.

Not the first TX has had. There was Dean Corll/Elmer Wayne Henley/David Brooks in the Early Seventies. They STILL haven’t found all the victims.

Was their sexual orientation a commonality among them? Inquiring minds want to know.

Probably not a serial killer, but it is pretty common for people (often guys) to get drugged and robbed while drinking in Austin. Girl will offer a drink or shot spiked with scopolamine or GHB or Rohypnol. Guy, thinking with his second brain, takes drink from stranger, starts to lose his senses and is led to a car, then to the ATM, then to their home where they are thoroughly robbed, including bank transfers. I’d guess some guys notice themselves losing control and try to get out of the situation, and end up falling in the lake (or possibly pushed by an accomplice). So more like serial robberies with murderous side effects.

Just about all of the homes along Town Lake draw their water from it. Several decades ago I helped re-plumb the Intake Screen Cage and pump at one of the mega hair care product creators and marketers. The Water Treatment and Conditioner Room was the size of a 2 car garage. 3 Gravel and Sand Filters inline each one 500 gallon capacity as were the 2 Softener Tanks plus Charcoal Filters to do taste and odor control, with Cl2 Injection to disinfect that NASTY water.

We had a Diver that cleared away a 20' diameter area around the Intake of the Duck Weed that is everywhere in that lake which is the continuation of the Lower Colorado River/Highland Lakes chain
