In this episode of the True Crime Society we discuss the 2023 murder of Texas father Austin Kanuch.

This episode was originally released in January 2026 as a Patreon exclusive and we have chosen to release it as a main episode following a request by a friend of Austin’s. 

Austin was a father-of-three.  On Thursday September 21, 2023, Austin and his wife Mary closed on the purchase of a new home.  

During the early morning of September 22, an unidentified person was seen riding a bike to the Kanuch’s rental home.  The person was at the property for around an hour before they carried out a brutal and fatal attack on Austin.  Mary called 911 before the perpetrator had even left the home.

Over two years later, Austin’s murder remains unsolved.  Police believe the attack was targeted and not random.  No public suspects have been named.
