Horror in room 1046
One of the strangest true crime stories we have covered was Roland T. Owen, and the horror in room 1046.
This crime mystery is full of unusual events and remains unexplained.
It’s almost certain we will never know the true story. The investigation into Ogletree’s death was briefly reopened in 1937, after detectives noted similarities between his murder and the slaying of a young man in New York, but this also went nowhere. The case has remained in cold obscurity ever since, except for one strange incident about ten years ago. This postscript to the story was related in 2012 by John Horner, a librarian in the Kansas City Public Library who has done extensive research into the Ogletree mystery

The shocking story of THE BLOODY BENDERS Mass Murderers
The infamous Bender family appeared quietly in southeastern Kansas in the spring of 1872.

Like so many others, they merely wanted to make new lives and fortunes in the untamed west. However, their methods for obtaining such fortunes differed greatly from most of the other homesteaders.
