What if America’s first serial killer wasn’t H.H. Holmes—but someone far more brutal and completely forgotten?

In this episode, I unravel the chilling mystery of the Servant Girl Annihilator, a violent and elusive murderer who stalked Austin, Texas from 1884 to 1885—years before Holmes ever claimed a victim. Eight people were slaughtered in their homes, yet this case remains buried beneath history’s more famous headlines. Who was this killer? Why were the crimes so quickly forgotten? And could this American predator have crossed the Atlantic to become the infamous Jack the Ripper?

Step into the shadows of Reconstruction-era Texas, where fear gripped a city, justice was elusive, and a killer vanished into legend.
