The Mexican Martini: The Servant Girl Annihilator
Episode description
Austin, Texas, 1884. A city that was on the very edge of modernity. A town that had grown by almost 5x in population in twenty years. Some were calling Austin the Athens of the West. Indeed, there were not one, not two, but three colleges to study at. You could buy one of 10,000 books at Gammel's, downtown, and the sunset red granite was being laid for what would be the largest state capitol in the country (and yes, also bigger than the U.S. Capitol). Granite, I might add, that still emits trace radiation over a hundred years later. Children were known to ride around town on velocipedes, or bicycles. But among the life springing forth in Texas' capital city was a midnight monster determined to end life. A murderer so unusually violent and random that history would dub them America's first serial killer.
