Austin police are investigating after another body was found in Lady Bird Lake on April 15. This is the fourth body found in Lady Bird Lake in the past two months.

She said she saw Clark on Easter Sunday, but just six days later he was found dead in Lady Bird Lake.

"I don’t know how he would end up there, that’s the concern, I don’t know, and I don’t think that he took himself there from knowing Chris," Aparicio said.

"It gives you so many weird possibilities and scenarios like what could have happened, how’d he get in there, did somebody push him, did he jump, you just start thinking so many things," Clark’s cousin Jazmine Parker said.

They said they don’t have answers.

"All we know is what we’re being told and what you guys are seeing in the world and we’re here and we’re seeking for answers, and we just want to let the world know that whatever happened to him, we are going to fight for him, we are going to get justice for him," Aparicio said.
