You've heard of the Bloody Benders... But have you heard of Charles Kennedy?! Only five years before the Benders started murdering travelers in 1870, this massive mountain man began his years-long killing spree.

It has been rumored that this serial killer may be responsible for up to five times more deaths than the Bender Family.

Let's Mourn.
