Episode 83: The Servant Girl Annihilator
America’s First Serial Killer
If you Google America’s first serial killer, it will tell you that a man named H. H. Holmes was the first. However, a few years before Holmes started his murder spree, Austin Texas was plagued by a nightmare of their own. In the span of 1 year, 8 innocent lives were taken by a brutal monster, but few bothered to notice. Even today, the reason you haven’t heard of this case is steeped in a culture of racial ignorance.
