Another Body Found in Lady Bird Lake: Is It the Missing Teenager?

Austin, TX (June 3, 2025) — Another body has been pulled from Lady Bird Lake in Austin, Texas, prompting a renewed search for a missing 17-year-old. Police confirmed the recovery of the body from the 200 block of South Lamar Boulevard, near the Lamar Bridge, but have yet to identify the victim or confirm if it is the missing teenager. "At the current moment, we're not sure if this is that 17-year-old's body being recovered, or if this is yet another person being pulled from the lake," a police spokesperson stated. The missing teen was last seen paddleboarding with his family on Sunday. His backpack and life vest were found on the paddleboard, but he was nowhere to be seen. A press briefing is expected later today to provide further details on the ongoing investigation. This is the 20th body recovered from the lake in the last two and a half years, raising concerns about safety and potential underlying issues.
