Describe the crimes that the history detectives are investigating in the video

They are evaluating a crime that had previously been done in the 1800s.

The history detectives are searching for the murderer of the texas servant girls. This unknown murderer murdered six African American servants and two white women in a brief phase of time. It was really difficult to conclude if the atrocity was committed by a serial killer or if the atrocity was carried out by a group of persons.

The murderer held and led the women captive from there beds at the dead of the night and led them to a remote location where they were then murdered with a sharp substance, something similar to an axe. A vast majority of the women were sexually abused after they had been held and led captive away from their rooms.
