Someone killed six people on a remote farm, then made themselves at home for three days.
What farming tool became the murder weapon at this isolated Bavarian farmstead in 1922?
A mattock. The killer used this heavy digging tool to murder all six victims, then left it in the barn's loft where investigators later found it.
What creepy thing did the murderer do for three days after killing the entire family?
Lived with the corpses. While six bodies lay dead around the farm, someone calmly ate their food, fed their animals, and kept their fireplace burning.
When coffee sellers came to take an order, what did they find at the farm that should have been bustling with life?
No one home. The visitors knocked and searched the yard but left when nobody answered, not knowing six corpses were hidden just steps away.
How did the killer arrange four of the bodies that still haunts investigators today?
Stacked in the barn. The victims were apparently lured to the barn one by one, where they met their deaths and were piled up like cordwood.
What happened to the farmhouse after this unsolved massacre that shows how deeply it scarred the community?
Demolished within a year. The locals wanted every trace of the horror erased, though the case remains one of Germany's most infamous unsolved murders over a century later.
