Episode description
In 1885, a man dubbed the Servant Girl Annihilator by the press brutally attacked young servant girls in their beds. The man was never caught and some authorities in London even wondered if the man from Austin could have left Texas and gone to London and was actually Jack the Ripper. The crimes were very similar and the time frame makes sense. What do you think?
