Three years before Jack the ripper claimed his victims in London and eight years before HH Holmes haunted the World Fair with his murder castle, an unidentified killer would begin a killing spree right here in Austin, Texas that would claim the lives of eight victims. This very well may be America's first true serial killer. But who was this killer? Why did the killings suddenly stop? Why were they never caught? And why is this serial killer and case so little talked about or known? To this day this obscure case remains unsolved.
