Journalist David Grann took a trip out to the Osage Nation in Oklahoma in 2012 after hearing about what happened in the early 1900s. Following the discovery of oil on their land, dozens of Osage were either murdered or died under mysterious circumstances. Inside the Osage Nation Museum in Pawhuska, Oklahoma, Grann saw a sweeping panoramic photo of members of the Osage Nation along with white settlers taken in 1924.
And so begins a tragic trail of murder and death, as Hale executes the plan to gain oil headrights through the systematic killing of Mollie's family members and other members of the tribe, though he never killed any of them himself. Hale and Ernest would enlist their contacts throughout the town to do the dirty work, and over the course of several years, Mollie's mother and sisters died in horrific ways — including a bombing, an execution-style killing and poisoning.
