Episode 79: Louisiana Serial Killer: The Axeman of New Orleans

Between 1910 and 1919 Italian grocers in New Orleans lived in fear of the Axeman who apparently loved to jazz it up.  We are going to separate facts from the urban legend using the research from Miriam Davis's book. Thanks for listening.
