      Unless it wasn't a real threat from the Axeman then that would be pointless. But either way, it would be worth a shot to try and catch him.

    The reason why almost all the houses in New Orleans had and axe and why you would not throw it away is because you keep an axe so that during hurricane season you could chop through your attic and get on your roof if the city flooded
    This is an old New Orleans family thing that has been lost over time, thus the deaths of people IN their attics during Katrina, the old ways lost or not known to the transplants

      @Sky Gardener I loved that book! And I have to admit, it has me at least half-convinced that most of the murders written about in the most detail, especially the Villisca murders, were all committed by the same guy, and the MO sounds solid. The author says right out which of the killings are most likely linked, and has good logic that fits the evidence. I'm even intrigued by the Hinterkaifek speculation, though I'm not sold on it.
      I agree, this guy wasn't the brightest bulb, and nowhere near as clever and crafty as the semi-hypothetical Train Man. Definitely had mental health problems, and the odds with serial killers say that he likely had a problem with alcohol, too. And although this old profiling truism doesn't usually apply as much as it did in the past, it did give me an idea, since this is a very old crime - serial killers historically used to tend to prey on victims from their own ethnic groups. Perhaps the Axeman was Italian?

    5:00 his victim gave birth. So does this count as a negative kill? Like does he lose points on his serial killer spree?
