A series of strange and violent deaths rocked Osage County Oklahoma a century ago.

Sisters Rita, Mini, Anna and their mother Lizzie all left behind lucrative rights to the

oil beneath Osage land, while lawman Tom White was horrified by the chilling plot he uncovered.

Join me, Tim Halford, host of the Corscht retails podcast, my new two-parter on the Osage

Killings, the story behind the book and film Killers of the Flower Moon.

There's a place in our world where the known things go.

Recordings of the sorts of people we've been listening to all season, episode after episode.

And here's the man with whole life and the constant world-wide hunt for facts.

Robert Ripley, Axis Sally, Mori Bernstein, Mae Brussels, Valentin Zorn.
