Unveiling the Dark Secrets of the 'Killers of the Flower Moon' and Their Impact on the Osage Tribe
The new Martin Scorsese movie, "Killers of the Flower Moon," tells the true story of how members of the wealthy Osage Indian tribe in 1920s Oklahoma fell victim to a twisted mass murder plot driven by jealousy and greed. The tribe's immense wealth from oil gushers attracted the attention of William King Hale, a wealthy rancher who orchestrated a series of killings to seize their oil royalties. The FBI, then known as the Bureau of Investigation, was tasked with investigating the murders, and agent Tom White successfully unraveled the plot, leading to the conviction of Hale and others involved. The case marked a turning point for the Bureau, as it learned to effectively communicate its work to the public and became iconic as the FBI.
