Were Austin Police Given a Lead on Ladybird Lake Deaths?

Current Revolt has obtained an email sent to Austin Police naming a person of interest related to the Lady Bird Lake deaths.

10 bodies have been found in the last 20 months in the city of Austin. Curiously, the majority happen to be men.

Austin police have been closing these deaths and ruling there was “no foul play” in all of them. In some cases, rightfully so, as some of these bodies found have been dead for years and some are suspected of suicide.

Texas Monthly published a controversial article debunking claims of a serial killer on the loose in Austin. TM was even accused of colluding with the police in some sort of cover-up scheme.

A copy of an email we received not only names a person of interest but also the method of drugging, why police aren’t able to detect any drugs in the systems of the victims, and even includes a timeline of the activity of the alleged suspect.

We’ve reached out to the Austin Police Department to confirm the contents of the email as well as whether Austin PD was looking into the claims; we have yet to receive a response at the time of reporting.

We’ll update as we get more information.
