The Bloody Benders were a family of serial killers who owned a small general store and inn in Labette County, Kansas from 1872 to 1873. The family consisted of John Bender, his wife, son, and daughter Kate. They say, Kate was very attractive and outgoing, and thus became a large draw for the Benders’ establishment.

Those crazy holly(magicalwooden) people and their silly fascinations with dead people!
