Maury Troy Travis (October 25 1965 – June 10 2002) was an American serial killer from Ferguson Missouri who committed suicide in a St. Louis county jail after being arrested for murder. Travis was named in a Federal criminal complaint for the murders of two women. At the time of the murders Travis was a waiter and on parole for a 1989 robbery. While in his letter Travis claimed to have murdered 17 women some authorities were doubtful; others thought he may have murdered up to 20 women.
