Hinterkaifeck Axe Murders: Germany’s Oldest and Most Famous Cold Case

Join us this week as we explore Germany’s most famous cold case, over 100 years old! The chilling murder of an entire family, including 3 adults, 2 children and their maid at the Hinterkaifeck farm via pickaxe horrified this otherwise peaceful area in Bavaria. 

Kendra will discuss all the wild details in this case along with various theories that are out there for who did this unspeakable act. Who would have been cold blooded enough to take out an entire family and then stay around for several days on the farm, tending to the animals, cooking dinner and living inside of their house!?!
