For Esme.
In one of my favorite areas of Austin.
Esme Barrera's Murderer and Serial Attacker Identified
This was the best news I could have gotten today. Esme’s killer has been found, connected to alot of other attacks and that coward killed himself.
I wish he would have had to live with this for the rest of his life and stand trial, but in a cruel twist of fate, they may have never found him if he hadn’t done this. And Austin’s streets are much safer.
Hopefully now, Esme’s family will have closure and she may rest in peace.
Proven. It helps.
Steph Wrote This Lovely Tribute About Esme
And I think it addresses alot of things people are feeling about her loss this week.
UPDATE: Now. It’s confirmed via fox news. It is definitely the SAME MAN in the indecent exposure case and the murder and attacks - as confirmed by a victim.
Please be aware that there is another sketch of the possible suspect in Esme’s murder. The second sketch on the right is from an indecent exposure that happened in this neighborhood on Christmas day. The descriptions are eerily similar. Please re-post so that everyone in Austin has these features etched into their brain.
I desperately hope they find this man and get him off the streets as fast as possible. Be alert, be aware, and call APD if you have any information.
And ladies in downtown Austin - DO NOT WALK ALONE AT NIGHT and carry pepper spray.
For Esme. One of her favorites.
