Voices of Oklahoma

Killers of the Flower Moon, written by David Grann, is the story of a series of murders in the early 1920s in the Osage Nation, located in northern Oklahoma.
Voices of Oklahoma interviewed David to give you a background of this story before seeing the film of the same name.
David talks about a “missing panel,” a corrupt system which ignored the crimes, and a funeral director who would cover up bullet wounds. And David will introduce you to the mastermind of these crimes, William “Bill” Hale.
We also encourage you to read the book, even reread it to understand the insidious nature of these crimes.
So now listen to David Grann explain the missing panel which motivated him to write the book on the oral history website and podcast VoicesOfOklahoma.com.
