The latest discoveries into the Bloody Benders will be shared at an upcoming presentation in Parsons.
“Unearthing the Bloody Bender Mystery: Part 2” is set for September 28th in Parsons. The presentation will feature Dr. Blair Schneider from the Kansas Geological Survey and Dr. Lauren Norman, an archaeology professor at the University of Kansas. The owner of the property where the Bender cabin once stood Bob Miller will also speak.
Miller says his interest in the infamous southeast Kansas crime family began when he was a boy.
Teams from KU have visited Miller's property twice in the last couple of years to look for evidence of the family and to try to determine where the cabin actually stood. Miller says they have a general idea because it was near the old Osage Trail.
The September 28th presentation will feature findings from the excavations on the site as well as Miller's future plans for the property.
