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