" I'll take my chances with the La Crosse. I've been in both rivers many times, as well as my father and his father and his father. There are tires, barrels and all previously mentioned things in the Mississippi as well. "

""The Mississippi is a lot deeper and faster than the La Crosse river.""
Not so true.
The LaCrosse river is much more dangerous.
It is full of cars, tires, bed frames, trees, stumps, deep holes, etc, and extremely dangerous undertows. It is relatively fast moving as well.
I would pick any river over the LaCrosse.
She is extremely lucky to be alive.

" Must have been one ugly woman if the serial killer mistook her for a man and pushed her in to the river. "

" the trib sure jumped on this story quick. it took them three days to mention the smiley face theory that was and is all over the national news. sometimes i wonder if the tribune is a branch of the police department. "

" Abe,
They are pretty hard up for news. "

" she was probably paid for this publicity stunt, just so all the prudes and police can say 'see, it's not a serial killer going after only men at night'

and you posters are biting hook line and SINKER

This proves nothing either way, there is still no evidence of the DEATHS cause/s. If the river deaths had not been an issue, this would have NEVER made the paper, never. "

" God_himself,
The Mississippi is a lot deeper and faster than the La Crosse river. I'm sure that if the men that died went into the La Crosse river they'd still be alive. "

" how in the heck did a girl with a bac of over .3 make it out of the water? all these guys that are .24 are said to be absolutely incapacitated. i thought you're not even supposed to be able to walk at that level. heck, she even hit her head. most of the guys that "fall" in show no signs of injury. why weren't her clothes folded nicely on shore with her personal belongings layed neatly on top? why? cause this is a simple case of an alcoholic falling in, not the serial killers taking out young college guys. "

" lets hear all the serial killer talk....he must be a fisherman who worked at quiznos once! dumb people. as soon as sober people start showing up, ill listen to the killer talk. til then, its called alcohol and thats the killer! "

" Perfect timing for the serial killer. Near a new moon, end of the semester when students are preparing for finals, non-weekend night when the river patrol isn't around. Sounds like our Smiley Face friends are getting wise. "

" I'm not sure why they didn't just post the text from the blog... but glad that it's up. More evidence of who the serial killer is. I wonder if her water bottle had a smiley face on it... "

" It's not possible that she fell into the La Crosse River. Drunk people only fall into the Mississippi River, and only at Riverside Park's levee. Nowhere else. Just ask the volunteers down at Riverside Park. "

" I think that the Tribune was wrong to publish this story since she was not seriously injured nor did she hurt anyone else. She obviously has some issues, and I hope she finds help. "

" Maybe she can identify the serial killer! "
