The image of waking up to someone by your bedside holding an axe is truly terrifying and something that makes me want to leave the lights on at night. Then I remember that this dufus couldn't kill more than half of his victims with an axe after several blows and potentially got shot by a badass women and I laugh it off.

[@louc.7979]

My question is, why didn't the police set up a trap for the Axeman by NOT playing jazz at a house that day and wait for the Axeman to come by so that they could ambush him?

[@mishasprinfield512]

OMG THATS FUCKING GENIUS

[@Oldbebe123]

Lou C. I'm sure not all of the houses played jazz but they said no killings happen

[@omairymarie9458]

Lou C. THATS SMART

[@popaxan1913]

It's really just simple thinking... Were people just stupid?

[@louc.7979]

Ricardo Pablo They could set up a whole neighbourhood (clear out the area and set up policemen pretending to be civilians the whole night) that's completely silent so that it'll increase the chances of him being attracted to that area. Unless it wasn't a real threat from the Axeman then that would be pointless. But either way, it would be worth a shot to try and catch him.

[@neuralmute]

@Sky Gardener I loved that book! And I have to admit, it has me at least half-convinced that most of the murders written about in the most detail, especially the Villisca murders, were all committed by the same guy, and the MO sounds solid. The author says right out which of the killings are most likely linked, and has good logic that fits the evidence. I'm even intrigued by the Hinterkaifek speculation, though I'm not sold on it. I agree, this guy wasn't the brightest bulb, and nowhere near as clever and crafty as the semi-hypothetical Train Man. Definitely had mental health problems, and the odds with serial killers say that he likely had a problem with alcohol, too. And although this old profiling truism doesn't usually apply as much as it did in the past, it did give me an idea, since this is a very old crime - serial killers historically used to tend to prey on victims from their own ethnic groups. Perhaps the Axeman was Italian?

I have a theory he could’ve been a soldier. There were a spree of unsolved axe murders before World War 1. What if he got drafted and got dishonorably discharged due to his violent tendencies and continued his murder spree. This could explain him being able to move around the houses sneakily and how he would fit through the door board. Because he was trained to do it. He could’ve even been responsible for the Villisca Axe Murders since a lot lines up with those murders and the Axeman killings.
