The first victims were Joseph Maggio and his wife, Catherine. Most of the victims were of Italian descent, either immigrants or Italian Americans, which also lead to the belief that ethnicity played a role in the killer’s motive.
They were usually attacked with an axe that belonged to them, so the only weapon the killer ever actually brought onto the scene was a straight razor.
There were also never signs of robbery because not even a single item was taken from any houses. In most of the victims’ cases, the killer entered the home by removing a panel on the back door with a chisel that they then left near the door. This week’s case took place over one hundred years ago, but the circumstances surrounding it make it worth mentioning even now.įrom May of 1918 to October 1919, this serial killer was active in New Orleans and the surrounding communities.
