The Bloody Benders REDUX

Re-release of an early two-part series. In 1873 it was discovered that a family known as the Benders had been killing travelers along the Osage Mission Trail in Labette County, Kansas. We know surprisingly little about the evil Benders. In fact, they may not have been a family at all. Their heinous acts of violence are still discussed to this day making the Bloody Benders the stuff of legend and folklore.

 
Special guest John M Keating joins the pod for both episodes of the Bloody Benders!
