So due to the nature of today's episode, listener discretion is advised. This episode

In January 1923, a 40-year-old Osage man named Henry Roan called up one of his closest friends,

William Hale.

Henry was in a bit of distress.

He just learned his wife was cheating on him.

William rushed over to Henry's house to comfort him, but it only helped so much.

A few days later, Henry turned to whiskey.

William tried to get Henry to quit drinking. Not only was his buddy a mess, but in the age of prohibition, if Henry got caught with booze, he could go to jail.

He said he'd be sure to hide the whiskey, but never promised to stop.

When the two men parted ways, Henry strolled off into the cold air of the Osage Reservation.

It was the last time William saw his friend alive.

Henry Roan became the latest victim of what the press would later call
