In Austin, Texas, a series of tragic discoveries in Lady Bird Lake has ignited a firestorm of fear and speculation, giving rise to the chilling theory of the "Rainey Street Ripper." In This episode of UTEoC, we delve into the heart of the mystery, examining the string of young men whose nights out in the popular entertainment district ended in the murky waters of the lake. We'll explore the official narrative from the Austin Police Department, which points to accidental drownings fueled by alcohol, and contrast it with the persistent and growing belief within the community that a serial killer is stalking the city's streets. We will also address the unconfirmed, yet prevalent, online theory that the victims were targeted for being gay men, and the impact this has had on the local LGBTQ+ community. Through a careful examination of the victims' stories, the official evidence, and the passionate arguments from those who believe something sinister is at play, we ask the question: are these a string of tragic accidents, or is a predator haunting the vibrant nightlife of Austin?

In this episode, we explore the extraordinary life and mysterious death of LGBTQ+ icon Marsha P. Johnson.

Listen back with us to an early case Hayden tells about Gwendolyn Graham and Cathy Wood and their work (and extracurricular pastimes) at Alpine Manor Nursing Home. This one delves into their toxic relationship that fueled a series of murders, with their twisted love story taking center stage. The pair killed for control, power, and an unbreakable bond—then celebrated their heinous acts with sex. This episode uncovers the chilling details of their relationship, the psychological motivations behind their murders, and the quest for justice that followed.

In August 2008, five-year-old Giovanni Colon Gonzalez vanished after being dropped off at his father's apartment in Lynn, Massachusetts. What followed was a baffling investigation marked by the father's immediate lies, a shocking and detailed confession to murdering and dismembering his son, and a complete absence of physical evidence to support this claim. Join us as we delve into the tangled web of conflicting accounts, legal complexities surrounding parental rights and mental competency, and the enduring mystery of a little boy who disappeared without a trace. We examine the timeline of events, the background of Giovanni's father, Ernesto Gonzalez Jr., the desperate search efforts, and the haunting theories that attempt to explain this deeply unsettling case, which remains unsolved over sixteen years later.

In January 2002, college student Rachel Louise Cooke disappeared during her morning run in Georgetown, Texas—just 200 yards from her parents' front door. What began as a peaceful winter break spiraled into one of Texas’s longest-running and most frustrating missing persons cases. Over the next two decades, investigators pursued leads involving suspicious vehicles, persons of interest, false confessions, and a white Trans Am that once seemed to hold the answers. In this episode of Until the End of Crime, Cameron and Hayden examine the Cooke family’s tireless search for Rachel, the case’s many twists, and the haunting question: how can someone disappear so completely, and stay missing for this long?
