The Villisca Axe Murder: The Horrifying True Story Behind the Unsolved Moores Family Murderer Who Got Away (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798873285204)

Nestled at the very end of a serene street in the charming town of Villisca, Iowa, stands a captivating sight - an enchanting old white frame house, just across the street from a cluster of churches sits a park that looks out over a middle school. Although it stands deserted, the ancient white house resembles many of the others in the neighborhood. No sound or light comes from the house, and when you look closely, you see that the doors are boarded up. Outside, a little sign says, "Villisca Axe Murder House."

On June 10, 1912, Joe and Sarah Moore were sleeping on the upper floor, while their four kids were asleep in a room located further down the corridor. On the first floor, there were two girls, the Stillinger sisters, who had arrived for a sleepover and were staying in a guest room. That night, a mysterious killer broke into the hose and bludgeoned Josiah Moore's family and two overnight visitors to death with an axe, shattering the tranquility of Villisca, Iowa forever altering its fate.

How could a person unfamiliar with Villisca accurately find Joe and Sarah Moore's bedroom using only dim lighting, while initially ignoring the children's rooms until the adults were killed? For more than a century, authorities struggled to make sense of what is now known as the infamous Villisca Axe Murders. Even after all these times has passed, the walls of the Moores house still contain the killer's identity and a number of supernatural beings...
Brace yourself for a spine-tingling journey into the unknown as we delve into the enigmatic details of this perplexing and gruesome tragedy.
