The Villisca Axe Murders - Small Town Terror and the Psychology of a Killer

The Villisca Axe Murders - Small Town Terror and the Psychology of a Killer

In this chilling and baffling episode of Terror Talk Podcast, we swing into the gruesome unsolved case of The Villisca Axe Murders — one of America’s most haunting mass murders. Eight people. One house. One night. And not a single arrest.

We break down:

  • The horrific crime scene in 1912 Iowa

  • The suspects (including some real weirdos)

  • The early failures of the investigation

  • The psychological profile of a killer who could commit such brutality and vanish into thin air

  • How fear and rumor consumed a small town — and kept it gripped for over a century

We're serving up all the known details, wild theories, and psychological breadcrumbs with our usual dark curiosity and sharp commentary.

Don’t forget to subscribe, share, and tag us with your theories and thoughts!
