There aren't a lot of killers out there, I think, who are as brazen or as terrifying as the one I'm going to be telling you about today.

The one known as the Austrian Ripper.

But even that name, I feel, doesn't do this story justice for how insane it is.

This is truly one of those stories, I think, of people doing the most crazy, like, mental gymnastics

to avoid what is staring them directly in the face.

The victims, though, that were showing up in this summer of 1991 were all sex workers,

and they were all strangled and murdered in a very very specific way.

It seemed like the killer had a very specific ammo. Each were killed, strangled, with their own bra.
