Ep 55 - The Alleged Rainey St. Serial Killer

Hey Spooky Squad! Welcome back to another episode of Scream and Sugar, your true crime coffee hour. Today we are talking about a serial killer, or lack thereof, in Austin, Texas, who's allegedly stalking Rainy St. 
Since 2022, a chilling pattern has haunted Austin, Texas—bodies of young men have been found in Lady Bird Lake, near the bustling bars and music venues of Rainy Street. Official reports have often ruled these deaths as accidental or self-inflicted, but locals aren’t convinced.
Are these tragic drownings a coincidence? Or the work of a serial predator hiding in plain sight? In this episode of Scream and Sugar, we unravel the unsettling timeline, examine the victims, and dive into the growing theories that point to something far more sinister lurking along the shores of this beloved nightlife district.

Grab your coffee and your curiosity, and remember to stay spooky, ya'll!
