Over an 18-month span in 1918 and 1919, an ax-wielding boogeyman had New Orleans in a state of fear. He committed twelve attacks and killed six people, usually letting himself into his victims' homes in the dead of night and butchering them with an axe while they slept in their beds. Who was the Axeman, and why did he kill?
