A serial killer, who became known as the Servant Girl Annihilator, preyed upon the city of Austin, Texas,[1] during the years 1884 and 1885. The sobriquet originated with the writer O. Henry.
The series of eight axe murders were referred to by contemporary sources as the Servant Girl Murders.
The December 26, 1885, issue of The New York Times reported that the "murders were committed by some cunning madman, who is insane on the subject of killing women".
