I thought this was as good a place as any for this thread. The city of La Crosse Wisconsin is home to the university of La Crosse, and the city
itself sits on the Mississippi river. Since 1974, 24 young men have gone missing, their bodies were later found in the river. Eight have gone
missing since 1997, including the latest case last week. The cause of death was drowning in every case, and police found no sign of foul play. Every
victim had a high blood alcohol content. A simple case of drinking too much and falling into a fast moving river and drowning, right? Well, there
have been rumors, discussions, etc for years that this is actually the work of a serial killer. I'll let you make up your own mind after you read
the articles I've provided links for. But, it is odd that there are no similar patterns of drowning is other cities that have a large university
located in close proximity to a major river. Regardless, it's a very interesting subject. Read for yourself:
this article does not include the latest death, but provides a great overview of the case:
