Maury Travis Torture House Discovery

In 2014 in St. Louis County, Missouri, a woman watching an A&E documentary realized that her apartment building had once been used by serial killer Maury Travis, who tortured and murdered women in the basement there between 2000 and 2002. Shocked by the discovery, she begged her landlord to release her from the lease so she could move out immediately. The landlord refused despite the building’s violent history. The woman later discovered that the landlord was the serial killer’s mother, who still owned the property where the crimes had taken place.
