THE AXEMAN OF NEW ORLEANS - PART 2: SUSPECTS AND THEORIES

The Axeman of New Orleans was an American serial killer active in New Orleans, Louisiana, and surrounding communities, including Gretna, from May 1918 to October 1919. Press reports during the height of public panic about the killings mentioned similar murders as early as 1911, but recent researchers have called these reports into question. The Axeman was never identified, and the murders remain unsolved. He mainly targeted Italian immigrants and Italian-Americans. But there is so much more to the story that is not known. Part two goes into theories and possible suspects.
