Who Killed the Blackwater Athletics Team?

When Red Dead Redemption 2 dropped in 2018, Rockstar didn’t just give us a sprawling Wild West epic to explore: it gave us a living, breathing historical sandbox that the curious players could lose themselves in for years to come. Even now, players are still unearthing hidden stories and secrets.

But just like the game’s story, not everything has a happy ending, and some tales lead to horrifying discoveries. One of the latest discoveries? The grim mystery of the missing Blackwater Athletics Team. As it turns out… they’re very much dead. But the ******* question remains: who killed them?

Finding the Blackwater Athletics Team in Red Dead Redemption 2

If you are a type of player who goes through every little detail in the game world, even in-game newspaper, you might have stumbled upon the first breadcrumb. Three different newspapers: Blackwater Ledger No. 69, New Hanover Gazette No. 34, and Saint Denis Times No. 50, all ran an article titled Blackwater Athletics Team Missing.

The piece details how members of the Athletic Club vanished after going for a routine group run just north of town. Friends and family feared the worst as exhaustive searches turned up nothing from the police investigation and searches.

But if your inner Sherlock Holmes insists that reading about it isn’t enough, you can take the investigation into your own hands. To give you a bit of help, the bodies of the unfortunate athletes can be found in a mass grave in Tall Trees, just south of the second “L” in “Tall Trees” on the map.

It’s a gruesome sight, the bodies are almost unidentifiable. However, their athletic uniforms are still somewhat intact, confirming they are indeed the missing team. What’s incredible is that this entire mystery isn’t tied to any mission, side quest, or objective.

It’s simply there, waiting for curious players to uncover it. This is a testament to the staggering attention to detail Rockstar poured into the game world, even the smallest corners hold stories of tragedy and intrigue.

So, let’s get into the real mystery here: Who committed this gruesome crime? Since this is not a side quest or even a part of one, players never get a definitive answer about who’s responsible.

But all the clues strongly point toward one madman: Edmund Lowry Jr., the infamous serial killer lurking in the shadows of the Red Dead Redemption 2‘s world. Lowry is known for a long history of horrific murders. He mutilates his victims, arranges their bodies in grotesque displays, and leaves behind taunting clues.

Players can follow the breadcrumbs from his other crimes can eventually piece together a map leading to his hideout, a basement of a cabin southwest of Valentine, Lucky’s Charm. It’s not a great place to be as it is filled with weapons and open carcasses.

Though the game doesn’t outright link Lowry to the Blackwater Athletics Team massacre, there’s one significant clue: both at the grave site and in Lowry’s lair, a letter “B,” fashioned from the limbs of victims, appears.

While it’s technically possible that this is just an accidental reuse of assets, let’s be honest, this is Rockstar we’re talking about. Given their attention to detail, it’s highly plausible that Lowry is the one responsible for the team’s demise.

RDR2 is packed with mysteries like this, tucked away for players who are curious enough to dig them up. What secrets have you uncovered in the world? Share with us in the comment section below.
