  2. HAUNTED TAKEOVER: Serial Killers & Murderous Minds | The Axeman of New Orleans Bonus

    Show notes

    Something has crept into this feed…For Halloween, Serial Killers & Murderous Minds has slipped through the walls to haunt your feed with an episode just for you.

    In 1918, a killer began slipping into New Orleans homes under cover of darkness, attacking sleeping victims with an axe and vanishing without a trace. The attacks targeted the city's Italian immigrant grocers, leaving a terrorized community wondering who would be next...and investigators scrambling to find a suspect they couldn't identify. As the body count rose, false arrests and coerced statements threatened to send innocent people to prison.
