Ep. 193: The Austin Servant Girl Annihilator, Pt. 1 - "We Are All Dead"
Ain't It Scary? with Sean & Carrie - A podcast by Killer Podcasts - Thursdays
Categories:
Beginning in late 1884 and throughout 1885, Austin, the boomtown capitol of Texas, was terrorized and sensationalized by a series of horrific murders. One man, six women and a young girl would be claimed by the spree before the year was out. Most of the victims were Black, and many of them worked as domestic servants. Despite over 400 arrests, the crimes remain unsolved to this day... Officially, that is. In the first of a two-parter, Sean introduces the growing city of Austin in the late 19th century and takes us through the details of the Annihilator's early attacks. Footprints are analyzed, police are baffled, and a famed short story author makes a surprise cameo. Tune in next week for the final murders, the investigation, and the thrilling conclusion of our series! ________________________________________ Connect with us on social media: Facebook: www.facebook.com/aintitscary Twitter: @aintitscary Instagram: @aintitscary Patreon: www.patreon.com/aintitscary Merch: https://www.teepublic.com/stores/aint-it-scary?ref_id=27696 ___________________________________________ Thank you to our sponsors: Neuro Gum - Get up to 30% off your order of Neuro Gum at tryneurogum.com/aintitscary!
