He had made his way along the Great Osage Trail, covering hundreds of miles where hundreds of men had vanished before him…During his travels, he saw no sign of outlaws, horse-thieves or highwaymen and, instead, was greeted by a charming frontier family and the offer of a warm, home-cooked meal… THIS was The Bender Family - and that warm, home-cooked meal that he was promised would very quickly become his last… The traveller and his horse were never seen again and he was far from their last victim… Welcome to The Devil’s Inn: this is the terrifying true story of The Bloody Benders… For HUNDREDS of more cases (and to request your own), visit icmap.co.uk now and sign up for free!Presented by Tom Norris & Ben CarterWritten by Ben CarterProduced by Dan J LambertEdited by Ben Bonsey Hosted on Acast.
