Episode 80: Old Colonial Robots? (The Bloody Benders-Serial Killers)

Anxious and Afraid The Pod

In this week's episode, Abby regales the crew with the horrifying tale of the infamous Bloody Benders.
The Bender family, which consisted of four members, Ma Bender, Pa Bender, John Jr Bender, and Kate (Katie) Bender all moved to Labette county, Kansas in 1871 where they built and operated a roadside Inn. Soon after their arrival however, travelers began to go missing and it wouldn't take long for the people of Kansas to follow the evidence back to the Bender Inn.
Stick around for the grizzly conclusion to this case and be sure to listen to the beginning of the show for a momentous announcement!
