The Bloody Benders: America's Most Murderous Family
We've got a special 40th birthday request! The story of the Bender Family from 1870's frontier Kansas. America's most murderous family. Four mysterious characters rode into the town of Labette, Kansas and set up their "inn" business that would end up being the last place many people ever stayed. Kate Bender, touting herself as a medium and spiritualist, was able to bring in a steady stream of customers to manipulate into handing over their money. When that wasn't enough, the whole family got involved in a bloody plan that left at least 11 people brutally murdered, robbed, mutilated and buried on the property.
If you're yearning for more info on the Bender Family's crimes and post crime lives, read the book "Hell's Half Acre" by Susan Jonusas!
