After a body was pulled from Austin’s Lady Bird Lake over the weekend, social media is abuzz with speculation that a serial killer is on the loose in the state capital.
The corpse of Jonathan Honey, 33, was discovered Saturday in the urban lake. He was visiting the city for a bachelor party and was last seen on Rainey Street on March 31, Austin-based news TV station KVUE reports.
Honey is the second victim to be pulled from the lake in a month, and the seventh body discovered at Lady Bird Lake in the past 10 months, according to media reports. However, the Austin Police Department issued a statement Monday saying it has no reason to suspect foul play in the incidents.
