On June 10, 1912, the quiet town of Villisca, Iowa awoke to a scene of unimaginable horror: eight people—including six members of the Moore family and two young houseguests—were found brutally murdered in their beds. Over a century later, the case remains unsolved.
In the first half of this episode, we walk through the events of that night in a detailed, immersive monologue. In the second half, I’m joined by Dr. Ed Epperly, the foremost authority on the Villisca case, for an in-depth discussion about the facts, the theories, and why this crime still haunts American true crime history.
This is Nights End, Shades Drawn, Dawn’s Reckoning.
