The Axeman of New Orleans was an American serial killer active in New Orleans, Louisiana from May 1918 to October 1919. Press reports during the height of public panic about the killings mentioned similar murders as early as 1911, but recent researchers have called these reports into question. The perpetrator was never identified, and the murders remain unsolved.

The Axeman of New Orleans plagued the residents of New Orleans from May 1918 to October 1919. This serial killer’s weapon of choice was none other than an axe, though never the same exact one. And often, the Axeman of New Orleans would use whatever was available, like a hatchet, straight razor, or butcher’s knife.

Though he killed about a dozen people with such instruments over the course of a year and a half, he was never caught.
