From 1871 to 1872, America`s first family of serial killers was the Bender family, consisting of John, Sr., who was around sixty years old and sometimes identified as William Bender; Elvira, a 55-year-old woman; John Jr.; and Kate, the daughter, both around 25 years old, played a significant role in gruesome crimes.
The Benders owned a small general store and inn in Osage township, Kansas which they aptly named the Wayside Inn. This dingy establishment became the setting for their malevolent deeds.
The inn had two rooms: The rear room served as their living quarters.
The front room, masquerading as a “general store,” was where they sold dry goods.
The Benders preyed on unsuspecting travellers. Estimates suggest they killed at least twelve, and maybe as many as twenty victims. They lured guests into the front room for a meal or a night’s stay. Once the victims were vulnerable, the Benders would strike, leaving no trace of their gruesome acts. The Benders disappeared in mysterious circumstances and were never seen again.
