Summary

In 1880s Austin, Texas, a brutal serial killer known as the Servant Girl Annihilator murdered at least eight people—mostly servant women—dragging victims from their beds and mutilating them. Despite over 400 arrests, the killer was never caught. Some say he was America's first urban serial killer—striking before Jack the Ripper.
