At least several drownings involved somewhat lengthy walks to the river and drowning in shallow(er) waters - 3ft deep or so. Friends who are familiar with the area and the bar scene there believe there would be a tremendous amount of effort exerted for a drunk kid to drown in the way reported - as accidents.
Something's not right.
I agree. I've been called a nut over this, but I think there's something to it. It would be very easy to cruise up and down the Interstate in that part of our state(s), your crimes going unnoticed for years on end.
No one ever puts all the pieces together until there's a big old stack of bodies. It certainly doesn't hurt to look into it. Ted Bundy was considered a "really nice guy" too, wasn't he? ;) Maybe it's a woman knocking them all off? A drunk college boy would follow a woman down to the river...
