Seriously, a guy drowned last year during Oktoberfest because he was running away from some girls, and was drunk to the point that he thought jumping off the bridge into the river was an ok idea.
If these athletic guys are drunk to the point that they can be that easily overpowered, taken to the river and drowned, without a single person noticing, I find it much more likely that they are drunk enough to have an accident on their own.
I'm only speaking for how things have gone down here in LaCrosse, and if you turn the wrong way out of the bar, you can be at Riverside park in less than five minutes, not to mention there are no railings, just a steep wall of rocks that lead to the river. So basically, if you fall and hit your head, you'll likely be unconscious in the river.
Believe me, I'm not a fan of the LaCrosse police, or the way they handled these cases after so many happened. I just don't think there is a group of serial killers doing this.

How many people have to die before people like you get it?
The thing is that they are not always extremely drunk. Have you ever drank before? I have and Ive been wasted. Ive been well above .08. I have never gotten the urge to just leave a bar and go wonder into a river.
You think that when people get really drunk they just decide to leave their friends and go wondering about town? They just go for a walk without calling anyone they know? And yes, maybe the river in La Crosse is right next to the bars. But its not in MPLS, and not in St. Cloud. So why is the exact same thing happening in all three of these cities as well as many others.
Just a coincidince you would say? I say anyone who thinks college men suddenly have the urge to get wasted and wonder out into open water are very naive and ignorant. Especially when this is happening over and over.
Some of these cases may have been accidents. But thats very few if any.
