Part 2 of 2 The Villisca Axe Murders | Unsolved Family Slaughter & the Haunting of 508 East 2nd Street

In the quiet town of Villisca, Iowa, 1912, eight people—two adults and six children—were bludgeoned to death in their sleep with an axe. Over a century later, the crime remains unsolved. Who murdered the Moore family and the visiting Stillinger sisters that night? Was it a jealous businessman? A deranged travelling preacher? Or a serial killer moving from town to town by train?
