Jeff Jones, 38, (left)was on a bachelor party trip to Austin with a dozen friends from his home in Boston and was found badly injured at the bottom of a bridge above a stream leading to the Colorado River and Lady Bird Lake. Locals have for years feared a serial killer is on the loose as a dozen bodies (right) were pulled from the waterway. Jones believes he was drugged and the would-be killer pushed him off the bridge over a stream where he was supposed to drown and float away, but they missed their target and he hit the ground and survived with serious injuries.

Channel Nine has been sent to the doghouse for its sensationalist reporting of a custody dispute over an Insta-famous Cavoodle from Sydney 's ritzy lower north shore. The network will have to pay Oscar's owner, barrister Gina Edwards, $150,000 including in aggravated damages after a hotly defended defamation proceedings in the Federal Court. Ms Edwards sued Nine over two TV broadcasts and two articles by A Current Affair regarding the custody dispute with former friend Mark Gillespie over the cavoodle.

Austin locals have for a year feared a serial killer was on the loose as a dozen bodies were pulled from the Colorado River and Lady Bird Lake near the historic Rainey Street entertainment strip. Police insist there is no killer at large, but rumors of a 'Rainey Street Ripper ' have continued to swirl as the bodies pile up. One bartender believes that the supposed killer, or someone falsely claiming to be, confessed to the crime while knocking back beers last month.

Rumors continue to circulate online and in the community in Austin that at least some of the 12 bodies plucked from Lady Bird Lake could be victims of a serial killer labeled the Rainey Street Ripper. Police have been quick to shut down rumors of a killer at large, stating the deaths are most likely accidental drownings due to the lake's proximity to the popular nightlife spot. But speculation has continued to rise with the latest discoveries of two unidentified bodies on April 9 and 14.

CRAIG HOPE: Newcastle's players celebrated last Saturday's 4-0 win over Tottenham in the company of The Wealdstone Raider, their unofficial minder for the night. Not sure who he is? Real name Gordon Hill, he went viral on social media 11 years ago when, supporting non-League Wealdstone FC, he was involved in an exchange with a rival fan in which he repeatedly - and somewhat comedically - asked, 'You want some?'. The video has been viewed 23 million times. The Raider - 5ft 2ins tall - is also available for hire and, as part of goalkeeper Mark Gillespie's stag do, he travelled to the North-East for a night on the Toon with a few of the team. They all chipped in to cover the cost.

DANNY MURPHY: I'd be amazed if Manchester United hadn't invested time finding a way to humiliate Loris Karius at Wembley Stadium today. At the top of the game, football is ruthless. Although most people would feel sorry for Nick Pope's absence due to suspension, Erik ten Hag's players will do everything possible to profit from the cold's arrival. When Heurelho Gomes was having a rough time with Spurs, I remember having a rough time. And it paid off. We concentrated hard on inswinging deliveries, which paid off.

Following Nick Pope's humiliating red card, Newcastle's Carabao Cup final goalkeeper crisis is like a'movie.' On Saturday evening, Newcastle and England goalkeeper Pope was issued a straight red card for playing the ball outside of his region as Mohamed Salah raced towards him. The Newcastle No. 1 screamed into the ground to prevent Liverpool's star man from completing Alisson's long-range ticket, and as a result, the Magpies' ride to Wembley will be suspended. Eddie Howe has been left with either Loris Karius or Mark Gillespie to keep out Erik ten Hag's firing forwards at Wembley with second choice goalkeeper Dubravka cup-tied and Hull City on loan.

Eddie Howe believes Nick Pope's red card against Liverpool, which has barred him from the Carabao Cup final, was 'harsh,' but Newcastle manager Leo Varadkar has faith in his backup goalkeepers. The Newcastle goalkeeper came out of his box diving with his hands to stop the screaming forward in a moment of madness as Mohamed Salah charged forwards to receive a pass from Alisson and appeared to be through on goal. Pope was sent by Anthony Taylor immediately and will miss their cup final next week, giving another selection headache for Howe. How can I be left with either Martin Dubravka cup-tied or Mark Gillespie, with Man United's Karl Darlow on loan at Hull?

The man who bought Oscar the frog told a judge that he gave up custody of the Instagram-famous dog because he couldn't afford to fight decorated barrister Gina Edwards (pictured left with Oscar) who branded herself the dog's'mummy'. Ms Edwards is seen right on her way to court, with her legal counsel, leading defamation barrister Sue Chrysanthou.

Gina Edwards (pictured with Oscar) and the Nine Network's A Current Affair are at the center of a bitter defamation lawsuit. Ms Edwards' lawyers have argued in court that the program told a 'bald-faced lie' in its coverage of a dispute involving Ms Edwards and the dog's owner, Mark Gillespie (top right, with Oscar). Ms Edwards said she and her partner Ken Flavell (bottom right) were known as 'Oscar's parents' when Mr Gillespie purchased Oscar and registered his microchip with the local council.'

Gina Edwards (left), a decorated Sydney barrister, testified in court how her personality changed after the reports in mid-2021. Ms Edwards, her husband Ken Flavell, and a friend, Mark Gillespie, all stayed focused on a custody dispute involving an Insta-famous cavoodle called Oscar, who was looked after by Ms Edwards, her husband Ken Flavell, and a colleague as part of a shared custody deal. Ms Edwards is suing A Current Affair and one of its journalists, Steve Marshall, for two broadcasts she says she mistakenly claimed she was a robbery who stole Oscar.

Ms Edwards is suing the Nine Network's A Current Affair program and one of its journalists over two stories focusing on the dog. Ms Edwards believes the reports, which aired in May and June last year, incorrectly suggested she was a robbery who stole Oscars from her owner Mark Gillespie.

Since leaving Anfield in the summer, Liverpool flop Karius, who made 49 appearances for the club, including an ill-fated Champions League final in 2018, has been a free agent. However, Sky Sports is releasing a report that the 29-year-old German, who was on loan to Besiktas and Union Berlin while Anfield, is expected to have a medical on Tyneside before signing a contract. After Nick Pope's understudy Darlow was discovered to have torn ankle ligaments by scans after his injury in preparation, the Magpies are in a stumbling block. Martin Dubravka, Newcastle's other established top-flight goalkeeper, joined Manchester United on loan at the end of last week's transfer window, which came to an end.

Despite a tumultuous debate surrounding future recruits at Old Trafford, the Red Devils are also keen to offload several fringe players, with centre-backs Phil Jones (right) and Eric Bailly free to go as Erik ten Hag (inset right) decides to trim his squad. Thomas Tuchel (inset center) of Chelsea will try to sell Ross Barkley's likes (centre) and Spurs manager Antonio Conte (inset left) wants to get rid of out-of-favour players like midfielder Harry Winks (left). Sportsmail has delvested into the Premier League clubs that must offload players in the final weeks of the summer season.
