Tales of the New Orleans Axeman

[sdreid]

Both killers appeared to be more on a power trip than anything else. There may have been a sexual element in both cases but it seems secondary to me.

They both seemed more interested in terror than torture as well.

Zodiac's crimes also seemed to have a sexual element but that was not the case with the Axeman, at least, not as obviously.

Zodiac didn't attack any children but who knows what would have happened had some been present.

If he was actually the one who abducted Kathleen Johns then I'm glad we didn't find out what would have happened.

Johns is a doubtful in my view.

I believe she has passed away in the last few years.

I believe her two offspring who were present (the baby and the fetus) are still around but they don't remember anything.

According to Kathleen Johns, the man she identified as Zodiac did threaten to kill her infant daughter as well as her.

Again, a lot like the Ratcliff Highway Murderer.

According to Kathleen Johns, the man she identified as Zodiac did threaten to kill her infant daughter as well as her.

Ms. Johns was also pregnant at the time.

[sdreid]

I can think of serial killers who made it a point to murder about every type of person but I can't think of one who made it their mission to kill pregnant women.

[sdreid]

Some of the Stripper victims were reportedly pregnant but I don't think it was to the point that the killer could tell.
