The Osage Murders

In the 1920s, the Osage Tribe in Oklahoma was considered  the wealthiest group of people in the World, because of their oil and gas royalties. However, their wealth brought unwanted attention, and many outsiders schemed to get a piece of Osage wealth, by any means necessary -  including murder. Join me, as we investigate the Osage Murders, the trials of those who were arrested, and where the Osage Tribe stands today. 

Please check out David Grann's book, "Killer of the Flower Moon" and his interviews which are listed below. David's work and the listed resources were key in putting this pod together.

Thanks!
