I have a question about the depiction of 1991 Austin, Texas. 

I moved here a little less than three years after the murders, and I don’t remember that much of a cowboy-like presence in the city. Was Lanier High out in the boonies at that time? Or did the victims and their families live in a place like Manor when it was mostly ranch land? My wife has the same question, and she was born and raised here, McCallum High Class of 1991. (By the way, she went to Lamar Middle School with one of the victims.)

They did show the “weird” Austin of the old school Drag. But for the most part it felt like I was watching a setting more like 1970s Fort Worth.

It's still Texas. Every school had kids who were in FFA. It's highlighted in the doc because those girls were into it. We had plenty of shit kickers at McCallum in the '80s and weren't near any farmland.
