i wish osages would tell their story more. i know they know. they have family stories. because we re not going to get past this until we learn about it. process it. and we can move on. some families know what happened to their loved ones, others never had an inkling something was amiss. until decades later. this portion is the older part of the cemetery. joe connor grew up hearing stories about the times of the 1920s. especially about his stylish aunt. sibl bolton. her high heels and ankle bracelets and furs. she was quite the fashion plate. the roaring 20s. like so many during the time, she was all about fashion and flair.
up. best friends and confidants. dani jo was a cosmetologist with a front row seat to diane s brilliant career. she loved crunching numbers. and along with billy corey, i think she learned how to wheel and deal. she rose through the ranks. and with her boss blessing became president of the company. hiring, firing, and calling the shots. she would say, i don t want to hear about the labor pains, just show me the baby. jay grover was a vice president at diane s company. when she started in business here in atlanta, there were not a ton of female executives. no. absolutely. and i think that s what one of the things that really set diane apart. i mean, she was a a woman in a man s world. she had a big personality, loved clothes, furs, hats, and kids. although she never had any of her own. she survived one bad marriage and was in her 50s when she met tex mciver. he
with police investigating, rumors flying and even old friends becoming suspicious, tex mciver seemed to be doubling down. about two-and-a-half months after diane was killed, tex put her furs, clothes and jewelry up for sale. even though his friend sheriff sills told him, bad idea. i said, tex, this doesn t that doesn t look good. i mean if you don t have to do this right now, don t do it. but he did. never met a mannequin she didn t like? that s right. [laughs] auction house owner robert ailers ran the sale and even he was impressed. how many pieces total. there were over 100 jewelry items, not costume, but real jewelry and one of the big lots were a pair of diamond studs that were several carats each. i heard people were lined up three and four deep to try on the jewelry. before the sale started
about. it s really unbelievable. michael, tell us what you found out. what we looked at was the exchange of gifts between the trump administration and foreign countries during the presidency. what we found was perhaps not surprising was a range of problems. problems that ranged from the fact that the saudis gave trump first appeared to be endangered species act protected because they came from white tigers and cheetahs and trump s white house held on that for 3.5 years. after we started asking questions about them last year, the u.s. fish and while life service seized the furs and tested them. they re not endangered species protected. they were fake. there were some other type of fur that had been dyed to look
furs. that seems to be some of the most salacious and juicy reporting in here. so, when donald trump went to saudi arabia in may of 2017, you remember there was that thing with the orb. they really lavished trump with gifts, at least they appeared to. when they got back, a white house lawyer determined that one or two or three of the gifts might violate the endangered species act because it said it was a came from a white tiger and it came from cheetah fur, and if you are in possession of items like that, you re violating the law. but the trump white house held on to these items for three and a half more years. they showed up at the general services administration on the last day of the trump administration. the in response to our questions, u.s. fish and wildlife took possession of them
