72. The Servant Girl Murders & Crime Linkage
With CrimeCon happening in Austin, Texas this past week, the docs present a vintage, unsolved crime: The Servant Girl Murders. Dr. Shiloh describes the application of crime linkage and then Dr. Scott gives us some insight into Austin at the time in the late 1800's, before presenting each murder in the Servant Girl Murders to give the audience a chance to apply crime linkage and determine whether or not all the crimes are perpetrated by the same offender.
