In the quiet town of Villisca, Iowa, 1912, eight people—two adults and six children—were bludgeoned to death in their sleep with an axe. Over a century later, the crime remains unsolved. Who murdered the Moore family and the visiting Stillinger sisters that night? Was it a jealous businessman? A deranged travelling preacher? Or a serial killer moving from town to town by train?
