The Villisca Axe Murder House - Part 1

Overview

The Villisca Axe Murder House story goes... On June 9th, 1912 a family of four and two overnight guests were on their way home from attending church service. It was a typical Sunday evening for the Moore family and the Stillinger girls, who were overnight guests of the Moore's. Unfortunately, this night would spell tragedy for the entire family and the young girls, as someone had snuck into the Moore family home and waited patiently in the attic for everyone to fall asleep. With the blunt end of a wood axe, an unknown assailant would bludgeon the entire family while they slept, with no motive, and sit at the dinner table afterwards to help themselves to a full meal before skipping town at first light. Over 100 years later, this case remains unsolved, and is one of the most talked about cases in American history.
