The book
Killers of the Flower Moon, released in 2017, digs into the serial murders of several wealthy Osage Nation members, to whom a court awarded the rights to profits made from oil deposits on their land in Osage County, Okla.

Cattle farmer William Hale a prominent figure on the Osage Indian Reservation, where he built his ranch and his nephews, Ernest and Bryan Burkhart, conspired to commit the murders, a court ruled in the late 20s. Hale was sentenced to life in prison after being convicted of only a single one of the murders that of Henry Roan, the cousin of Anna Brown, herself the sister of Mollie Kyle, a native Osage and the wife of Ernest Burkhart but was released on parole in 1947.
