Ma Satffelback was found guilty of stealing money from miners who frequented her brothel...she would then have them killed...or kill them her self and then dump their bodys into mine shafts in the area...late 1800's.
She was eventually cought and sent to jail....however she never reveiled where she stashed her "Ill gotten gains" They have never been found!
I was wondering if anyone from Galena, Kansas or the area had any idea where her Brothel was originally located...it was somewhere on main street if I am correct....
Any help on this topic would be greatly appreaciated!
Thanks,
Dave "Aka...Monkeyman"!

I heard about this long ago when passing through Galena, the brothel itself was torn down long ago. The area was heavily searched by a lot of people, but nobody ever found the loot, or admitted it at least.

Found this about the place. Not sure if it is helpful after all this time.
