Mystery of Texas 'roofie serial killer' with eerie echoes of 'smiley face murders'

Residents of a Texas city have been left in shock after another body was pulled from the water.

It's the fourth body this year to be pulled from Lady Bird Lake in Austin, Texas, prompting many to fear and speculate a serial killer on the loose. All four men were around the same age, prompting many to wonder whether they were targeted victims instead of unlucky men who had been drinking on nearby Rainey Street.

The first body of 2023 was recovered on February 13, that of Jason John, 30, who disappeared on February 5. On March 5, Cliff Axtell, slightly older at 40, was pulled from Lady Bird Lake.
