The attached image is a replica of the front page of The Villisca Review, dated June 13, 1912, reporting on the brutal Villisca Axe Murders. The headline, "8 People Murdered in Their Beds in Villisca Sunday Night," captures the shocking nature of the event, in which the entire Moore family and two Stillinger children were brutally slain. The article emphasizes the lack of motive and clues, making it one of the most terrifying unsolved crimes in Iowa's history. The layout prominently features the photographs of Josiah B. Moore and his wife, Sarah, alongside key details of the murder investigation. The reporting conveys the grim discovery, with headlines highlighting the "Motive for Crime Lacking" and the brutality of the crime—each victim’s head was crushed with an axe.
