Best Way to Follow in the Footsteps of a Serial Killer

Murder Walk Austin

If you partake in Murder Walk Austin, it is very possible that after a tension-building moment digesting the grisly injuries found in an 1880s autopsy, someone will shout, "That'll do it." For the irreverent, historically minded, and true-crime-obsessed among us, Walking Tours of Austin's nighttime jaunt through Downtown's former crime scenes scratches every itch. The tour focuses on Austin's very own 19th-century axe murderer, the man O. Henry dubbed the "Servant Girl Annihilator." Best experienced with either a notepad or a belly full of margarita, take your pick.
