In the spring of 1919, New Orleans was already a city of shadows — its streets humming with jazz, its corners whispered about in hushed tones. But when a chilling letter appeared in the local paper, promising death to anyone not playing music on a certain night, the city’s heartbeat quickened.
This is the story of the Axeman of New Orleans — a figure who slipped through locked doors, used his victims’ own axes against them, and vanished without taking a dime. Was he a ruthless killer targeting Italian grocers? A pawn of the Black Hand? Or something far stranger… a self-proclaimed demon with a taste for jazz?
Join Drew on Legends May Live for a suspense-filled dive into one of the most bizarre and terrifying murder sprees in American history — where true crime meets urban legend, and the line between man and myth blurs in the warm night air of the Crescent City.
