Who Was Killing Austin’s Servant Girls?

On New Year’s Eve 1884, the murder of Mollie Smith, a young Black domestic servant in Austin, Texas, marked the beginning of one of the earliest and most disturbing crime sprees in American history.

Over the following year, a series of brutal attacks targeted servant girls — and later residents from wealthier neighborhoods — spreading fear across the city. Newspapers gave the unknown killer a name: the Servant Girl Annihilator.

Despite multiple arrests, public panic, and widespread suspicion, the killer was never identified. The murders stopped as suddenly as they began, leaving behind unanswered questions and a legacy shaped by racial inequality, limited investigative tools, and a justice system that failed many of the victims.

This video examines the verified historical record, the known victims, and the social context surrounding the case, while clearly distinguishing documented facts from later theories.

More than a century later, the question remains unanswered:
