SERIAL KILLER: The Axeman of New Orleans Pt. 2

About this episode

Between 1918 and 1919, a killer slipped into homes across Greater New Orleans under cover of night, attacking families with an axe and leaving investigators with few clues and no clear suspect. In a letter published by a local newspaper, the Axeman taunted police and promised to spare any home where jazz music played... turning an entire city into a single, terrified audience. As arrests were made and convictions overturned, the true identity of the killer remained maddeningly out of reach.
