There’s record of the Axe Man. But newspapers were prone to sensationalism back then.

One prevailing theory is that it was really targeted murders by the local mafia.

"As they lay sleeping in their apartment above the Maggio grocery store, the killer cut the couple’s throats with a straight razor before bashing in their heads with an ax."

Seems a bit overkill for the mafia unless he was trying to make a point, but killing the wife like that just doesn't seem mafia style.
