Crimes of the Past
Terror in 1885: The Servant Girl Murders of Austin, Texas
In 1885, Austin, Texas was under siege by a brutal killer known only as the Servant Girl Annihilator—a shadowy figure who murdered at least 8 people, mostly Black women working as domestic servants.
Blamed on voodoo, arrested innocent men, and ignored by mainstream history, this case may have ties to Jack the Ripper and remains unsolved over 135 years later.
