    I remember the good ole shaggy days when a few posters were convinced I was a psychopathic murderer. Boy they felt so silly that they stopped posting and disappeared entirely.

  • We all know how this is going to end.

Anyone know the name of the victim found by Pennybraker this weekend? I think I might know them from high school. PM me.

No, but we can tell you the name of the culprit.

"Could this latest death be possibly related to the Rainey Street drownings, Chief?"

"There's absolutely no connection to the other mysterious deaths from the last few years.  This was at Guadalupe and Chavez.  Those others were down Rainey Street/Davis Lane" 

"Chief, those are six blocks away.  Not like a different city or something like that"

"Ah well, nevertheless."

I called the homicide hotline after someone told me they drowned homos in ladybird lake.

It went straight to voicemail(work day, 2pm), and never heard from them.

Quote

A woman with multiple active warrants was suspected of posing as a rideshare driver and drugging men near Austin’s downtown entertainment district before robbing them, according to Travis County court documents.

An arrest warrant affidavit claimed 41-year-old Destini Cionne Robinson, on at least two occasions in 2023, stole the phones and wallets of unsuspecting passengers and spent thousands of dollars.

In one incident, the affidavit said a man got into what he believed was his rideshare to go home and blacked out shortly after. The man said he arrived home with no memory of how he got there and discovered his phone, cash and credit cards were missing.

Honestly though if you are a serial killer/mass murderer is there any better place to ply your craft than Austin?

Rainey Street killer body count has already exceeded the Austin Bomber but for some reason we haven't brought in the feds yet

Still the best name ever for a serial killer.  And a punk-rock band.

Most Austin cool band name lineup ever:

Opener:  ...And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of Dead

2nd Opener: I Love You, But I've Chosen Darkness

Headliner:  Servant Girl Annihilator 

 

FYI:2 FBI special agents did show up to help investigate but haven't been heard from in a long time.  In totally unrelated news, Nicole was seen walking back uptown, flicked a cigarette, and said, "I guess we're gonna need some more FBI guys..." 

Many scholars forget that the fifth labor of Hercules was not only the cleaning of the Augean Stables in a single day, but also the systematic murdering of as many Bangladeshi rapists as possible.

APD needs to hold a contest for the best officer Barbrady impersonation and let them do all future press conferences.

No Titty Bingo in the lineup?

CSB... did a ton of work for the lead singer of I Love You, But I've Chosen Darkness back in the day.  His son worked for me for a stint as well.  Had no idea who they were.  I guess they were a big deal in Europe for a while.

I'm glad the dude's getting better.  This is just getting beyond the pale.  This non-stop narrative by the police/DAA/Chamber of "Well, this new Rainey Street bar area can sometimes to lead drunken visitors to wander down the street and fall in the water." is just insulting to the victims and their families.  

Town Lake has been there for 130 years.  Rainey Street "Bar District" has existed for 20 years.  Hundreds of Thousands of drunken/high patrons have been near that intersection of bars and open water over the years and then just "poof", 2 years ago, over a dozen bodies all in a similar demography just happened to start turning up dead?  Because suddenly austin just in the last 24 months had this wild idea to have lakes and bars?  Yeah....uh.....no

Agree 100% with the point you're making regarding the opportunity for deaths by drowning in DT Austin, but one minor historical note...Town Lake wasn't created until 1960.  It was just the Colorado River until then.  IE it hadn't been dammed yet.

But for the past 2-ish years it's been "damned".

Yeah, well, the first dam on Austin’s stretch of the Colorado was built in 1893, and it led to Austin being one of the first electrified cities in the US. Its failure flooded downtown.

Yes, but that's called Lake Austin....not really close enough to Rainey St.

How many Hula Hut and Oasis patrons have died this way over the years?

Maybe belongs in the trivial things that annoy you thread, but Rainey Street “Ripper” is such a stupid fucking name for someone who drugs people and pushes them into the water

Those aren’t the best examples since people aren’t generally getting black out drunk at either of them and, particularly with the Oasis, didn’t put most patrons near the water. But back in the day we had Carlos n Charlie’s, Aunt Tilly’s, something else I’m blanking on that people got piss drunk and/or high and wandered around near the water late into the night

The bigger problem on Lake Travis wasn't drunks falling out of bars, it was drunks falling out of boats and drowning.
