Maury Troy Travis (October 25, 1965 – June 10, 2002) was an American murderer and suspected serial killer who committed suicide in custody in St.
Louis County, Missouri, 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, he was a hotel waiter and on parole for a 1989 robbery.
While Travis claimed in a letter to have murdered seventeen women, some authorities were doubtful; others thought he may have murdered up to twenty women.
