• Another Kind of Little House on the Prairie. Murder on the plains: the Bloody Benders (kansascitymag.com) — The Benders' crimes near Cherryvale are becoming a feature film, with director Nicholas Nicastro shooting prairie scenes near Cottonwood Falls rather than at the original homestead, now farmland. He says filming is roughly two-thirds complete and hopes to finish by November 2027. Cherryvale's historical museum preserves artifacts associated with the case.
