The Osage Murders and the
Birth of the FBI - one of the most monstrous crimes in American history
What makes these crimes so sinister is that it involved marrying into
families. It involved a level of calculation and a level of betraying the very
people you pretended to love. And the way these murders would take place is
that people would marry into the families and then begin to kill each member of
the family. … That’s exactly what happened to [Osage woman Mollie Burkhart].
She had married a white man, and his uncle was the most powerful settler in the
area. He was known as the King of the Osage Hills … and he had orchestrated a
very sinister plot played out over years where he directed his nephew, who had
married Mollie Burkhart, to marry her so that he could then begin to kill the
family members one by one and siphon off all the wealth.
