Why is the Williamsburg, Indiana area so murdery, by episodes?

Williamsburg is a town of 473 people in Green Township, one of 15 townships in Wayne County, in eastern Indiana. Settlers came down from North Carolina in 1810, before Indiana was a state, and the town was laid out in 1830 and named after its founder. The Williamsburg area reaches from there to Winchester, 15 miles off, and to Eaton, 24 miles away, which is in Ohio, in Preble County, on the Indiana border.
