What the creator captured
Travel Channel investigated the unsolved 1912 Villisca axe murders by visiting the original crime scene and consulting with local experts. The creator was particularly struck by the gruesome details of the case, including the mutilated victims and the bizarre presence of a four-pound slab of bacon left by the killer. Ultimately, the channel highlighted the frustration of the botched investigation and the acquittal of the primary suspect, Reverend George Kelly.
