True Crime Episode 62: Villisca Axe Murders
#122
03/21/2023

Its a few weeks late, but here is the long awaited Villisca Axe Murder case from 1912. This is an old, unsolved case from Villisca, Iowa. Kirsten has had this case on her mind since the day we started this podcast. Its one of those ones that just doesn't make sense. Unsolved cases are so frustrating already, but when a whole family and 2 guests are murdered in the middle of the night and no one heard or saw anything, that makes it all a little more suspicious.
