1 RecommendationsThe Red Barn Murder was a 1827 killing in England. A young woman, Maria Marten, was shot dead by her lover, William Corder at the Red Barn, a local landmark. Letters to Marten's family were sent claiming that she was well, but after her stepmother spoke of having dreamed that Maria had been murdered, her body was, the next year, discovered in the barn.
The story provoked numerous newspaper articles, songs and plays. The plays, ballads and songs remained popular throughout the next century and continue to be performed today.

The Bloody Benders
1 RecommendationsThe Bender family, more well known as the Bloody Benders, were a family of serial killers in Labette County, Kansas, from May 1871 to December 1872. The family consisted of John Bender, his wife Elvira, their son John Jr., and their daughter Kate.
While there is no definitive number, estimates report that the Benders killed as many as twenty people before their crimes were even discovered. The family's fate remains mystery as well, with theories ranging from their deaths at the hand of justice to a successful escape. Much folklore and legend surround the Benders, making it difficult to separate fact from fiction.
