A time when serial killers stalked the mountains, prairies and deserts of North America. A time when men like, Billy the Kid, Jesse James, John Wesley Hardin, and the Kentucky cannibal left a trail of victims strewn across the landscape. The ruthlessness of their murders will shock in this feature-length documentary goes back into history to uncover the origins of evil during the Old West.

    During the civil war, many of those Kentucky raiders pillaged, raided and terrorized the very communities they were from. Communities that were mostly defended by a home guard made up of underaged boys ineligible to join the union army and were armed with hunting muskets. I have plenty family members who were murdered, robbed and terrorized by raiders. I also have a great great grandfather who joined the raiders. Oddly, all of his sons joined the union army. I am sad about the way my gg grandfather died (dysentery in a union prison) but he chose his destiny.
    Based on what I know, if a raider survived, they went west because they could not go home after what they had done. Most were not psychopaths so lived quiet normal lives. Community members who went off to join the actual confederate army had a different experience. Most appeared to have been accepted back into their communities. That’s not to say my Family’s community was normal after the war. there was a lot of PTSD. There was violence. Petty squabbles led to stabbings and shootouts, with someone inevitably dying. One highly respected community member, a doctor, took revenge after the war for the death of his son. The son was a raider who died during a shoot out with the home-guard. The father built a bomb and hid it in a lunch basket. His intended victims were maimed, but survived. According to the story, the father was horribly injured and it took days for him to die. 😮

      No john douglas and Robert resller both said 2 or more those are the guys that pioneered the behavioral science unit at Quantico. Robert resller coined the term serial killer. John douglas said it's 2 or more killings that make a serial killer. The first one is always if not an accident the second definite serial killer if it has similarities to the first. TRUST ME and my uncle didn't like it either. We thought it should be more that kinda helps but maybe classification has changed over the years.

    The Ingalls family lived south of the Benders during their time in Kansas, and Laura stated once, when she was asked if she'd left anything out of her books, that Pa Ingalls rode in the search posse. The timing isn't right, the Ingalls had already moved out of the area prior to the discovery of the bodies, but that said, both families did live there at the same time. Crazy, right?

    I would not put Liver Eating Johnson, Billy The Kid, or Wyat Earp in the category of serial killers. I think it would be a good idea, for someone to know history, before making such a statement. Liver Eating Johnson got the name from supposedly taking a bite of the liver of the Indians he killed, and spitting it out, this may seem to be an indication of cannibalism, but that was not the intent. He, knowing, the thinking of the particular tribe, did this to say, basically I hate your guts. It was done as an insult, not an act of cannibalism, I'm not saying it was in anyway good, but it was not meant for fun or some sick sadistic thrill either. Later on if I remember my history correctly he was even adopted into that tribe.
    Tom Horn was hired to end rustling, he ended up killing the wrong person. Wyat Earp was a lawman, going after outlaws. To my knowledge there are no records of Billy the Kid killing twenty-one men, nor do I think he enjoyed killing, if he did he sure passed up some good opportunities.
    John Wesley Hardin, and Jessie James, may be a closer fit, but I really don't think they where serial killers either. Certainly no zodiac killers, or a Ted Bundy.

    Sadly, the US never outgrew the Wild West, + still to this day, guns are prevalent in society, in spite of there being no credible reasons, none at all, that justify this being so.
    Crime + violence, is all that guns bring to America, nothing remotely positive, the true result of guns in America is ignored for the most part because it's an ugly, inconvenient truth , that people don't want to hear.
    The truth is, however, there really is no amount of vi9olence that America can't just ignore, safe in the knowledge absolutely nothing will be done to prevent something similar happening again.
    And that's how it is, kids getting shot at school, for example, only in the US is it considered acceptable + has it been allowed to become more + more common........... Australia, Britain, they've literally eradicated the problem, kids getting shot whilst attending school, doesn't sit well with them...........
