Favoriten Girl Murders
The Favoriten Girl Murders were a series of sexually-motivated crimes committed against a young woman and two young girls: Alexandra Schriefl (d. 1988, aged 20), Christina Beranek (d. 1989, aged 10) and Nicole Strau (d. 1990, aged 8) in the Viennese district of Favoriten. This case was among the most extensive and costliest investigations in Austrian history.

For a long time, the investigators believed that a single serial killer was responsible for the murders. It was not until the introduction of DNA profiling and a DNA database that the murderers of Schriefl and Strau were arrested, in 2000 and 2001, respectively. Christina Beranek's killing is the only unsolved case left, although the public prosecutor and investigators alike believe that Herbert Petsch, the man convicted of killing Alexandra, killed her as well.
