Several viewers have mentioned other serial killers that predate these murders. Likely serial killers have been with humanity since the beginning, and of course there would have been people doing so prior to 1884. However, the atrocities of, for example, the Harpe brothers, follow a different sort of pattern than the murders in Austin and London or modern serial killers. Some psychologists argue that these types of murders are dependent upon modern cities. In any case, the Austin murders were unique and baffling in their time, and certainly worthy of note regardless of the crimes of others, some of whom might well be the focus of future episodes.

As a retired Cop, I have developed my own opinions on this subject. I believe these deranged(serial) killers are one in millions. When the population was much lower, it was exceptionally rare. I personally believe this is where legends or folk-tails like a Werewolf came from. It seemed unimaginable for people to think or accept that one person could or would kill, torture and dismember another person. It had to be some kind of animal. When evidence showed it was a person...it had to be an Animal that a person had been turned into... Great Video! These are Just My Thoughts on history, John

That would depend upon what you consider to be a serial killer I suppose. The harpe Brothers did most of their killing while committing other crimes, or getting away, etc. I would consider a serial killer as someone who goes out to do The killing.

Remember the why of the killing matters. Pass out(not your fault) and run your car on the sidewalk and kill 20 people and its an accident. Take illegal drugs and do the same thing, it's vehicular manslaughter (or worse even). Murder 20 people at once and you're a mass murderer. Murder 20 people over time and you're a serial killer, unless you Got paid by someone to murder those 20 people and then you're a Hitman. The thought/reason/conditions behind the killings makes a big difference.

I don’t think anything was on Corn Island but I’d like to learn more. Shippingport Island used to have a little town. Remnants of the approach to a bridge are still along the green belt/river walk along the ship channel. It was known to be a wild and lawless place. The residents were moved to the Portland neighborhood which further explains it’s reputation. Prince Madoc, the Viking, and his group of merry men had a stone fort at “Rose Island” and a camp on Sand Island where he bathed in a cold spring every day. The Indians told him he was welcome but that they considered that area around the Falls as belonging to everyone. Prince Madoc told them it was his now. They still find relics of their demise, on the Indiana shore near Silver Creek. The Indians put a curse on that property and subsequent owners have never died a natural death.

Erik Larson's "The Devil in the White City" is an fascinating examination of serial killings in Chicago while the Columbian Exposition or (Word's Fair) was going on. It had a lot of interesting subplots about Frederick Law Olmsted's involvement in the fair, the extravagant use of the novel electric lighting. The first Ferris wheel that was promoted as a rival of the Eiffel Tower. The Chicago killer has his own crematorium to dispose of his victims. Patricia Cornwell has written a book, "Jack the Ripper: Case Closed" which speculates that the real Ripper may have lived to around 1945. All tawdry stuff to be sure, but I'm not above glancing at the tabloid headlines as supermarket checkouts.
