Summary

If you know true crime then you know The Villisca Axe Murders. In 1912 an entire family and two house guests were brutally killed in their sleep by a cold blooded beast. There have been a couple suspects over the years, but somehow this case remains officially unsolved. The details are spine chilling, but the case itself is one of the most fascinating.  Amazing sources used for this episode include: The Man From The Train by Bill James  A Nightmare in Villisca By Richard Estep  Villisca by Roy Marshall  1912 Villisca Axe Murders Blog  As always, thank you to our sponsors: HelloFresh: Get up to fourteen free meals—including free shipping! — with code morbid14 at HelloFresh.com/morbid14 BetterHelp: Special offer for Morbid listeners: get 10% off your first month at betterhelp.com/[Morbid] CareOf: For 50% off your first Care/of order, go to TakeCareOf.com and enter code morbid50 BestFiends: Download Best Fiends FREE today on the App Store or Google Play..That’s friends, without the r—Best Fiends.
