Figured it might be a new Python owner trying to throw hisself off the dam.

My dad was the superintendent of that dam and Tom Miller dam (that makes Lake Austin) for many years. I had the good fortune of being able to crawl all over inside of it.

“Now we know what prompted the extensive law enforcement presence at Mansfield Dam today.

“A maintenance worker reportedly saw an unauthorized person in a tunnel inside a dam. However, a lengthy search by law enforcement turned up no one.”

Hopefully it doesn't turn out the "worker" was hitting the bottle or smoking weed and imagined the whole thing...

Maybe it was robertc1024. I hear that he knows all the hiding places.

I'm sure gun control activists are very disappointed it wasn't a mass shooting.

Wasn't me. It has lots of tunnels through it in multiple levels. If I were looking for a place to hide, that wouldn't suck.

Force 10 from Austin.

Sounds to me like LCRA itself is doubting the veracity of the employees claim....

My granddad worked as a night watchman at the dam right after it was built. He used to tell me about weird stuff that would happen there at night. Some guys he worked with claimed to have seen ghosts...
