Season 22, Episode 3
Osage Murders “The Reign of Terror”(The story real story behind "Killers of the Flower Moon")
The movie "Killers of the Flower Moon," directed by Martin Scorsese and based on David Grann's book, is the story of the Osage Indigenous tribe's "Reign of Terror" in Oklahoma during the early 20th century. In this episode, we delve into one of the earliest cases investigated by the newly formed Federal Bureau of Investigations, which unfortunately did not solve every murder. We also discuss how these crimes have affected the victims and their descendants for over a century.
