4th Dead Body Pulled From A Texas Lake, Is A Serial Killer On The Loose?

Fourth Dead Body Pulled From A Texas Lake Sparking Rumors A Serial Killer Could Be On The Loose

A fourth dead body was pulled from a Texas lake in the latest disturbing find Saturday, sparking rumors that a serial killer could be on the loose.

John Christopher Hays-Clark, 30, was found floating in Austin’s Lady Bird Lake just before 1:30 p.m., Austin Police Officer Michael Bullock said during a press conference.

Our homicide unit did respond to the scene and are investigating this incident. As of right now, it is a very unfortunate incident but up to this point, we have not discovered anything suspicious tied directly to this incident,” Bullock said. The statement did little to quell the city’s concerns that a repeat murderer is on the loose — targeting young men around the age of 30.

Jason John, 30, was the first this year to be found dead in the Austin lake — his body was rescued from the water in February, one week after he was last seen on Rainey Street, a popular bar and restaurant strip about a mile from the lake.

One month later, an unidentified man was pulled from the water. Community members pushed the city council for answers last week before Hays-Clark was found dead, Fox News reported.

Christopher Pugh, whose son mysteriously went missing in 2019 after a night out on Rainey Street and was found days later with “serious” injuries by the lake, said the trend is too dangerous to ignore.

The department has repeatedly thwarted rumors and fears that a serial killer has hit the city, mainly targeting young men who passed through the area.
