Today, Darron Wood, executive producer of the hit podcast Defense Diaries, hires US to solve a case for HIM.

As a New Orleans guy, this one has been haunting him his whole life, who was the Axeman of New Orleans.

The Dicks take the case and, spoiler alert, we figured it out.

All the way we learned about how the Axeman didn’t like a very specific group of people, Italian Culture and how the Axeman brought an entire city to the dance floor for one night under threat of death if they did not.
