Ken Waks: TikToker under fire for claiming to have cracked Lady Bird Lake serial murders
After asserting that he had solved an alleged serial homicide case in Austin, Texas, TikToker Ken Waks was noticed on social media. He said in his videos that the nine deaths discovered in Lady Bird Lake in Austin, Texas, were the victims of a serial murderer running amok in the area.
On April 4, 2023, when he first combined his video with the footage of another Austin-based creative, Nick Casablancas, Ken Waks aggressively started discussing the case. Nick said in his video that several remains were being discovered in Lady Bird Lake.

‘National problem’
Waks asserted that this was a "national problem" because mysterious deaths had also been reported in Minneapolis, Chicago, Pittsburgh, Wisconsin, and other locations. Waks also discussed his private collaborations with Kevin Gannon, a retired police investigator who devoted years of his career to looking into incidents similar to hers.
However, when Waks discussed his app in one of the videos, internet users started to get skeptical. They said that he was only taking these actions to increase app sales.
Ken Waks faces massive backlash
For his videos and assertions, Ken has drawn a lot of criticism, especially once the authorities cleared the air. In the cases of the bodies discovered in the lake, they claimed to have uncovered no indications of criminal activity.
A social media user said, “His name is Ken Waks. He is vile.” Internet users have also criticized his unusual statements, in which he claimed that private investigators had come to his door and asked him to take part in the investigation. He also said that he would assist the private investigators with ‘tech stuff’ like map construction, data collecting, etc. in order to help them ‘crack the case.’
Police and officials have said once more that none of the nine remains that were taken from the lake exhibited any indications of foul play or odd markings. While this is going on, Ken is consistently publishing new videos warning his followers to be careful and not accept free rides because a "serial killer is on the loose".

Reminder: no one likes it when you exploit ppl for capital gain.
Ken Waks apology was hollow to the core. He didn't feel remorse, only ashamed for getting caught.

In posting about all of these probably unconnected cases, he very well may have interfered with & harmed active investigations.
Ken Waks should be held accountable for that.
