Summary
When countless lone travellers began to vanish without a trace along the Great Osage Trail in the early 1870s, the people of Labette County, Kansas, were gripped with fear.
Soon enough, the county’s residents realised that all the victims had one thing in common: they’d all visited the Bender Inn, a small cabin run by a mysterious German family.
But by then it was too late.
The Benders were gone with the wind – and as for who they were and where they went, well, that remained a mystery for over 140 years… until now.
