Austin Nightlife Turns Deadly: Gunman Kills Several, 14 Wounded—Possible Terrorism Ties | Crime Alert 6AM 03.02.26

Content Warning: This episode contains discussion of death of individuals. If you’re sensitive to this topic, this episode may not be for you.



When winter weather hits, the danger is not only what happens on the roads, but also what happens when the heat goes out, help slows down, and people misjudge how quickly the body loses it margin for error. In this episode of Mayhem in the Morgue, Chief Medical Examiner Dr. Kendall Crowns breaks down hypothermia through three cases: a bascule bridge immersion event, an elderly woman whose final behavior included paradoxical undressing and terminal burrowing, and an unidentified man recovered frozen inside a Chicago railcar.



Highlights

• (0:00) Welcome to Mayhem in the Morgue with Dr. Kendall Crowns

• (0:15) Winter storm context, power outages, and why hypothermia cases spike

• (2:00) Common scenarios in cold exposure fatalities

• (2:30) Dry vs. immersion hypothermia and why water changes the timeline

• (3:00) Case one: bascule bridge repairs, harness failure, and near-freezing immersion

• (4:30) Cold water heat transfer, loss of consciousness, and arrhythmia risk

• (5:15) Hypothermia progression: early shivering and impaired judgment, then shivering stops as confusion escalates and paradoxical undressing can appear, including alcohol’s role

• (8:00) Case two: elderly woman, initial foul play concern, paradoxical undressing, and terminal burrowing

• (10:45) Case three: unidentified man recovered frozen from a railcar in Chicago and what it takes to thaw remains before autopsy

• (12:30) Thawing protocol: warming lights, artifact risk, and the unglamorous “poke test”

• (14:30) The classic triad and why hypothermia is a diagnosis built from findings plus context

Mayhem in the Morgue _ The Weather Outside Is Frightful

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/f99f08bb-69c4-4857-8bfc-b3fa00e268fd/transcript

After four weeks of testimony, prosecutors could soon end their sex abuse case against three real estate mogul brothers.

Jurors have heard explosive testimony about alleged drugging and humiliating encounters, as the defense continues to declare the Alexander Brothers' innocence. Twins Oren and Alon Alexander and their older brother Tal have faced a 12-count indictment for sex trafficking, sexual abuse, and conspiracy to commit sex trafficking.

The Alexander brothers are accused of using their wealth and influence to create opportunities to sexually assault women. More than 40 women have come forward with allegations, and investigators are urging others who believe they were assaulted to contact authorities.

Attorneys for the brothers say they plan to plead not guilty. If convicted, they face life in prison.

The three brothers come from a high-profile real estate background. Tal and Oren brokered a $47 million deal for their father in 2012 and a $240 million Manhattan condo sale in 2019. Alon attended law school before joining the family's private security company, Kent Security.

Each brother has been accused of forcible rape by at least 10 women. All three are indicted on federal sex trafficking charges, while Oren and Alon also face sexual battery charges in Florida.

The Alexanders have denied the allegations in civil cases, with their representatives suggesting the accusers are attempting to extort them.

Court documents detail accounts from alleged victims. "Victim-1" claims she was raped by Tal Alexander and other men in 2021 at a home in the Hamptons. She says she felt unwell after drinking a glass of wine, then recalled Tal holding her down as another man entered the room.

She later woke up in a separate room, where a camcorder was set up.

Another alleged victim, referred to as "Victim-2," told investigators that Oren raped her. She says Oren gave her a cocktail, after which she felt strange and struggled to walk. Alon then took her to a bedroom to lie down. She recalls waking up to find Oren in the room.

He allegedly pulled down her bathing suit and raped her while she was "physically impaired and could not move."
