I just read about Paul Mueller, a German immigrant around the 1890s who seems to have led the most reprobate life as a serial killer- allegedly the most prolific serial killer in American history. He is known as the Man from the Train. According to new research by Rachel McCarthy James, he killed families with an axe. New research suggests that his first family axe murder was in Massachusetts in late 1890s.
