When an entire family is wiped out by an axe-wielding killer on a June evening in 1912, a small Midwestern community spirals into chaos and division. "Villisca: Living with a Mystery" tells the epic true story of Iowa's worst mass homicide, the Villisca Axe Murders. Following just two months after the sinking of the Titanic, the still-unsolved crime built and ruined political careers, created a lasting community split over the guilt or innocence of a local State Senator, and produced dozens of litigations, including three of America's most sensational trials. "Villisca" examines old suspects and theories, and shines a forensic light on a new one. Were the murders connected to a string of Midwestern killers and therefore the work of an early serial killer? After captivating audiences in theaters for more than a year as well as a national DVD release, "Villisca: Living with a Mystery" is now available via video-on-demand (VOD).

Ressler, eye-witnesses and relatives and friends of the eight victims.
