New Orleans has always managed to create a mix of the mysterious and the macabre in our minds. As a city, it is different; its jazz, its location and openness to the elements, its cosmopolitan community. At the turn of the last century, the French influence was still strong. A quarter of the population spoke the Gallic language, and French newspapers were still popular. But these Northern Europeans were not the only significant immigrant group to reside there.In 1915, Atlantic storms blew into the vulnerable city, and floods threatened lives and buildings. But still the city stood, tall and firm, against all that nature could throw against it. Yet if it could withstand the onslaught of the natural world, the same was not necessarily true of the human one.Back in 1910, a particularly savage crime took place, a vicious, merciless assault with an axe There is something almost primordial about such an attack. On this occasion, the victim survived, and in a city where racial tensions were rife, where child labour still flourished, the confrontation went largely unnoticed by the wider community. Then, in the early summer of 1911, another incident took place and this time the assault proved fatal. Joe Davi was, in all probability, the first man to die at the hands of the Axeman of New Orleans.

The sad and troubling fact is that when a child does go missing for nefarious reasons, the person who takes them is most often somebody they know. Given all of the above, something that is a complete rarity occurs when a teenager does go missing, but the authorities have not the slightest indication as to what has happened to them. Even when the news will be the worst imaginable, usually police will have clues or tip offs which lead them hopefully to the living child, but at other times to their body.So it was unusual in that extreme that in the case of Kemberly Ramer no such information has ever made its way to the authorities. Not to local police, state police, nor the FBI who are also involved in the investigation into what is now accepted to be her abduction.
