ONE MIDNIGHT IN TEXAS THE TRUE STORY OF THE SERVANT GIRL ANNIHILATOR Terror came to the Texas town of Austin on December 31, 1884. That night was the first attack by a killer that became known as the "Servant Girl Annihilator." More would follow and the story of the killer became one of the great murder mysteries of the nineteenth century - most famously because he was the America's first real serial killer. Never before had an American city been forced to confront a vicious monster who was, for some unknown reason, driven to murder women in a ritualistic fashion. Over the next year, the killer eluded the police, who were helpless to stop him and unable to predict where he might strike next. Before it came to an end, at least a dozen men were arrested for the murders and three were placed on trial. They all claimed to be innocent - and undoubtedly were. In this chilling book, author Troy Taylor presents a story of violence, madness, bloodshed, and terror, and the story of a town that was pushed to the brink by one man's terrible crimes - a man who was able to elude capture and vanish into history. He was never punished and the murders he committed remain unsolved. The name of the Servant Girl Annihilator has always been a mystery. Was the killer a crazed drifter? A local madman? An otherwise normal man with a compulsion to kill? A well-known figure who was quietly locked away when his secret was discovered? Or perhaps a killer that surfaced years later to murder again? Explore the mystery and the many suspects with Troy Taylor with a book that will you locking all the doors and windows when you go to bed at night!
