The Osage Murders: The Crime That Made the FBI

In the 1920s, members of the Osage Nation in Oklahoma were among the wealthiest people on the planet, thanks to massive oil reserves beneath their land. Then they started dying: poisoned, shot, and blown up in their own homes. Local law enforcement wouldn't help, and some of them were in on it. There was no FBI to call. Not the way we know it. This is the story of the conspiracy that targeted the Osage for their oil money, and the investigation that transformed a small federal agency into the most powerful law enforcement organization in the country. This is episode 2 of The Crimes That Built America, a special four-part series on Murder: True Crime Stories hosted by Carter Roy. New episodes come out every Monday, with all four available now, ad-free, on Crime House Plus.
