In this episode, we dive into the chilling tale of Henry Lee Moore, a man whose crimes blurred the line between greed and a potential spree of terror.

Moore’s conviction came amidst a wave of brutal axe murders sweeping the Midwest, including the infamous Villisca Axe Murders. With eerie similarities in method and timing, Moore became a suspect in what some believe was a serial spree of killings.
Join us as we explore Moore’s dark obsessions, the evidence that tied him to his family’s murder, and the lingering question: could he have been responsible for one of America’s most infamous unsolved crimes?
