The Villisca Axe Murders - E64
from Criminal AF · host Criminal AF
In the dead of a quiet Iowa night in June 1912, a small town drifted to sleep, families tucked in, lights out, doors unlocked in the trusting heartland way.By morning, the Moore house at 508 East 2nd Street held only silence... and horror.Eight people, Josiah and Sarah Moore, theirfour young children, and two innocent overnight guests, bludgeoned beyondrecognition in their beds with a single axe.Cloths draped over faces like a final, mocking mercy. Mirrors covered. A slab of bacon left strangely in the parlor.The killer vanished into the dawn, leaving behind one of America's most chilling unsolved mysteries.On this episode, we step inside the VilliscaAxe Murder House... and ask the questions that still echo over a century later:Who walked through that door with an axe in hand and why has justice never caught up?Share CRIMINAL AF with your friends or leave a review:- Spotify- Good Pods- Apple Podcasts- Instagram- TikTok- FacebookLinks to our sponsor - AROMADEUS:- Website- Instagram Visit THE SERIALHOLIC:- Spotify To Support CRIMINAL AF:Membership:- Patreon For EXCLUSIVE CRIMINAL AF Merch and MORE.
