Ep 76 - The Villisca Axe Murders

This week Sam’s sister, Ashley, joins Sam to discuss the Villsica Axe Murders. On June 9th, 1912 the Moore family had a fun evening at a church event. The four Moore siblings invited two of their friends for a sleepover after the event, and that night someone would enter their home and murder all six children sleeping in the house, along with Josiah and Sara Moore. 112 years later the suspect is still a mystery.
