And you can bet your bottom dollar everyone involved is clamming up and lawyering up as we speak.

Absolutely tragic and I hope the truth comes out. Her family deserves it.

Rest in peace young angel. Here.

“It is not the critic who counts. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, because there is no effort without error; who knows great enthusiasms, great devotions; who at best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and at the worst, if he fails, his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”

Terrible and more upsetting is no understanding of what happened. Did they do a toxicology screening? There's no explanation on cause of death which is really weird.

MySA followed up with APD for further confirmation regarding the investigation process underway. A department spokesperson said both a victims services counselor and a detective have been assigned to the case, adding specifics regarding the cause of death can take several months to complete.

"At this time, there is no evidence of any suspicious circumstances, and this case is not being investigated as a homicide," the spokesperson said. "The medical examiner will handle anything involving autopsy or toxicology, and this process can take months for results to come back. The ME will determine the ultimate cause and manner of death."

It might take several months before the toxicology results are revealed.

This was posted on premium via a Reddit page with a GoFund me account. It was very strange - most of us thought it was a scam.

Less than 24 hrs after she was missing a fund was set up to collect money.

Also, even the news reports are incongruent. She was found at an apartment complex, but later it is saying she fell 17 floors.

"I asked and demanded that another detective be assigned to the case, and they said no. They even told me their geometric system was broken. That they were eyeballing the distance where my daughter fell, which is the 17th floor, down to her death," Rodriguez said.

Some of the large downtown residential buildings are considered apartments. So it is very possible she fell from a 17th-story apartment.

It was a high rise apartment in downtown Austin called 21 Rio. It has 21 floors.

Local news reporting mama is not convinced that foul play wasn't involved, something about everyone telling the exact same story and the apartment being vacated immediately after the tragedy.

Let's hope this was only a tragic accident, and not a roofie gone wrong or worse.

A roofie gone wrong? Anybody giving a roofie "gone wrong" should be charged with capital murder. The initial crime should be a life sentence for aggravated sexual assault.

And any cop not doing their job should be charged as an accessory after the fact to capital murder.

In all likelihood, there are people reading this thread who know things. Should be some interesting IP addresses.

Very sad and tragic - a beautiful life ended way too soon. The more you read about it, the more suspicious it sounds. I hope her family gets some answers.

Probably best to focus on thoughts, prayers and sympathy for the family until the facts are otherwise provided.

When facts are not being provided, speculation ensues.

The solution is to be open and transparent.

The article said it takes over a month to get toxicology reports back which seems weirdly long.

Falling or something-laced is the only thing I can imagine that kills someone fast that isn't homicide.


By definition her drinking something laced by another os a homicide

That is not uncommon to take that long. Especially in Travis County.

The family believes there is more to the story and likely foul play involved. The best way to support is to help them get the word out and pressure APD to do their damn jobs.

Heart breaks for her family. Puts in perspective a loss of a stupid football game.

Praying for this family.

Or…. Families after the tragic death of a loved one are rightfully hysterical, not thinking logically, and looking for someone to blame. (Anger is the second phase of the grief process, after all). So maybe, just maybe, APD is doing their damn job just fine.

I can't blame a grieving mother for thinking the worst. And I don't trust APD at all to manage this case properly. The last thing they want to do is deal with a murder/manslaughter investigation and I'm sure they'll default to suicide/accident if plausible. The mom probably needs to hire an attorney to hound APD, sadly.

Being dosed with Rohypnol, the drug commonly referred to as the "date rape" drug. Girls get "roofied" when some scumbag slips it in their drink without them knowing it. Sadly, its a fairly common occurrence, especially on college campuses and bars frequented by college students.

It's the call that none of us with children --- adult or otherwise --- ever wants to receive. Parents are supposed to go first. I pray for my adult kids every day.
