Unveiling the Untold Story of Mollie Burkhart and the Dark History of the Osage

Mollie Burkhart and her wealthy Osage family were targeted for their oil wealth in the 1920s during a string of murders known as the "Reign of Terror." In the film "Killers of the Flower Moon," based on a true story, Mollie's husband and his uncle conspire to kill her family. The movie implies that Mollie was being slowly poisoned by her husband and doctors, but the exact details are not clear. In reality, Mollie expressed concerns about being poisoned to her priest, and government officials suspected she was being poisoned through insulin injections. Mollie eventually divorced her husband, remarried, and lived until 1937. Her husband was sentenced to life in prison but was later paroled and received a full pardon. Mollie's granddaughter, Margie, survived and expressed anger towards her grandfather for what he did to their family.
