Margo and Lindsey discuss the historic ax murders of Austin, Texas as told in the book The Midnight Assassin by Skip Hollandsworth. For one year – 1885, a seemingly deranged ax murderer dubbed the Midnight Assassin terrorized the people of Austin, just as the city was on the verge of becoming the cosmopolitan capitol of Texas. Panic in the city hit a fever pitch on Christmas Eve 1885, when for the first time the murderer targeted two white women. And then – poof! – he was gone! The author explores the similarities between the Midnight Assassin and Jack the Ripper, and Margo and Lindsey discuss old-timey Texas and their own theories of the murders. Join us!!!
