[ENCORE] FRONTIER TRAGEDY Ep. 5 | Bloody Benders, Part 1

from Legends of the Old West · host Black Barrel Media

In 1870, a “family” called the Benders moves to Labette County in southern Kansas. There are four people in the group, but no one in the area fully understands the relationship between them. They build a small cabin near a well-used trail and offer the space as an inn for travelers. Before long, strange activities and criminal acts are reported at the Bender cabin. And then, travelers go missing. Thanks to our sponsor, Quince!
