Watched a video on yt linking the Rainey street ripper with some killings happening in Chicago. I guess they are overshadowed there due to all the other violence. This video supported a theory that there was more than one person involved and it may include a cop. Seemed like a pretty good video outline until the end when it went off the rails.
With the number of dead bodies still continuing to pile up near Rainey Street, it certainly seems like it. Austin is safer than most big cities, but it ain't like it used to be and will only get worse.
