In June, 1912, eight people--six of them children--were bludgeoned to death in their home. The murderer has never been found. Among the suspects was Andy Sawyer, a pile driver who spoke to and even slept with his axe. In many ways he was a most compelling suspect, but he was dismissed from consideration early on. Why? In part because investigators never figured out how he might have left Osceola around 9 the night before the murders were discovered, arrived in Villisca, did his deeds, then left Villisca to arrive in Creston by 6 or so the morning after. I do not have access to train schedules for freights or passenger trains, but this itinerant train worker would probably have known how to hop around well enough to cover his tracks. Does anyone have access to old timetables or train schedules that would help me construct scenarios for how he might have fooled everyone? PS--There were many murders along the railroad line extending from Chicago through Kansas City and finally to Colorado Springs during this time period. A person savvy with how train schedules worked could be America's first serial murderer. Any and all help is appreciated.
