The Spooky Darlings

#10: Lady Bird Lake: A Nightmare on Rainey Street

Season 1 Episode 10

In Austin, Texas, a troubling pattern has emerged — dozens of men found dead in or near Lady Bird Lake, many last seen along Rainey Street’s bustling nightlife district. Locals whisper about a possible predator stalking the area, dubbing him the “Rainey Street Ripper.” In this episode of The Spooky Darlings, we dive deep into the chilling timeline, the theories of drugging and robbery, and the unanswered questions that haunt the city. Is it coincidental accidents, a calculated killer, or something far darker lurking by the water’s edge?
