THE BLOODY BENDERS: PROPRIETORS OF THE KANSAS HOTEL FROM HELL
From 1871 to 1873 a loose-knit "family" of serial killers opened up a general store and inn on a popular travelers's route in frontier Kansas.Using a pretty "daughter" they lured single male travelers in and soon murdered them for their money, letting them bleed out under the house and later burying them in their orchard. It is believed they killed 20 people before evidence was found and they were able to flee. Laura Ingalls Wilder, in a public speaking event in 1937.acknowledged that her family stopped at the Bender Inn to water their horses, but as they could not afford anything, they moved on.
