In this episode, we're delving into the haunted past of Oklahoma, a state where eerie tales and mysterious specters seem to be as deeply rooted as the red soil itself. From its storied Wild West towns to its rich Native American heritage, Oklahoma's haunted lore reflects a blend of cultures and histories that have left an indelible mark on the land. We'll journey through haunted hotels that once housed notorious outlaws, eerie museums filled with artifacts of untold stories, and lonely backroads where the shadows of the past still linger. Get ready to uncover the supernatural secrets hidden within the plains, hills, and prairies of the Sooner State, as we explore five of Oklahoma's most spine-chilling locations. Featured Locations: The Skirvin Hotel 1 Park Ave, Oklahoma City, OK 73102 Beyond the infamous tale of Effie, guests often report the sensation of someone tugging on their bedcovers or catching a fleeting shadow in their peripheral vision, especially in the early hours of the morning. Some athletes who have stayed here swear they've had nightmares so vivid they considered leaving in the middle of the night. The Skirvin Hotel continues to welcome guests, combining modern luxury with a chilling glimpse into Oklahoma's haunted history. The Stone Lion Inn 1016 W Warner Ave, Guthrie, OK 73044 Visitors to the Stone Lion Inn often feel an unexpected chill in the former mortuary room, where it is believed that the residual energy of the funeral home days still lingers. Guests have heard unexplained knocks on their doors at night, only to find no one there. Augusta's presence is particularly strong in the attic, where guests have reported the unmistakable sensation of a child's small hand clasping their own. Fort Reno 7107 W Cheyenne St, El Reno, OK 73036 The old barracks echo with the sounds of phantom bugle calls and the rhythmic march of ghostly soldiers. Some visitors have felt an unexplainable heaviness around the site of the former POW camp, where German soldiers were held during World War II. Paranormal investigators have recorded inexplicable EMF spikes around the fort's historic chapel, where shadowy figures have been spotted in the windows at dusk. Gilcrease Museum 1400 N Gilcrease Museum Rd, Tulsa, OK 74127 While closed for renovations, those who previously visited the Gilcrease Museum reported feeling an intense energy surrounding the sacred artifacts. Museum staff often experienced unexplainable power surges and the faint smell of burning sage when near certain exhibits. Many locals believe that the spirits of the Gilcrease Museum will remain, ensuring the artifacts are respected, even when the new building opens its doors. The Overholser Mansion 405 NW 15th St, Oklahoma City, OK 73103 Besides the figure of Mrs. Overholser, visitors frequently report hearing soft piano music coming from the music room, as if a spectral pianist is still performing. The third-floor bedroom, once used by the Overholser children, is particularly active, with toys moving on their own and the faint sound of giggles echoing through the hallways. Cain's Ballroom 423 N Main St, Tulsa, OK 74103 The venue's ghostly activity often peaks during live shows, when both performers and audience members have reported cold gusts passing through the crowd and the smell of old cigar smoke lingering in the air. The ballroom's historic bar area is known for bottles moving on their own, as if unseen patrons from the past are still lingering for one last drink. Belvidere Mansion 121 N Chickasaw Ave, Claremore, OK 74017 On quiet nights, some visitors have heard a lullaby emanating from the empty nursery, where one of the Bayless children once slept. The mansion's gardens are also known for sudden temperature drops, especially near the old fountain, where Mrs. Bayless was often seen enjoying her evenings. Constantine Theater 110 W Main St, Pawhuska, OK 74056 Witnesses often describe the actress's ghost as appearing during rehearsals, offering gentle applause to performers who catch her favor. The eerie apparition of a cowboy has also been spotted in the audience, leaning back in his chair as though watching an old-fashioned Western. Cherokee Strip Museum 901 14th St, Alva, OK 73717 Some have reported hearing the soft sound of hymns being sung in the old chapel area, and staff members have found objects mysteriously rearranged as though unseen hands are moving them. Paranormal researchers have detected unexplained cold spots near the hospital beds and occasionally catch the scent of antiseptic, hinting at the building's medical past. Oklahoma Territorial Museum 406 E Oklahoma Ave, Guthrie, OK 73044 Beyond the librarian's ghost, the building is said to be haunted by a former student who died in a tragic accident on the property. Visitors have reported hearing soft crying near the classroom exhibits, and some even claim to have seen an apparition of a young boy near the library shelves.

Whitney Virden didn't think she had a creative bone in her body until she did some soul searching following a tragic event that occurred in her family. That event instigated major reflection and life altering changes where she reprioritized her life and changed direction to focus more on her family and kids.  She severed ties with her traditional 9-5 job where she traveled for work. This break allowed her time to explore a different career – one that was completely different than what she attended college for – and her love for floral design was born. Whitney is the Owner of Roots and Blooms Floral Shop located in Bartlesville and Pawhuska, OK. Over the past few years, she has aligned herself spiritually, creatively, and emotionally and can clearly see her path to purpose. When I caught up with Whitney, she was selected to be among the floral artists in the Art in Bloom show at The Philbrook Museum of Art in Tulsa. This experience resulted in winning first place from the guests votes! During this visit you'll hear Whitney's career path in business, how tapping into her creativity revealed her artistic heart, and why she believes that everyone has some creativity; they just have to find it!

We sit down with none other than Chief Justice John Kane IV of the Oklahoma Supreme Court, in what marks his debut on the podcast frontier. Embark on a journey through the corridors of justice with a man whose career is not just a profession but a family legacy. Chief Justice Kane opens the doors to his storied ascent from the private law firm trenches of Pawhuska to the pinnacle of judicial responsibility, all the while humbly reflecting on the profound honor and unexpected turns that have shaped his path. As the gavel falls on this episode, we celebrate the strides made in the Oklahoma judicial system, from the much-anticipated e-filing system that is revolutionizing court proceedings to the unique autonomy of each justice's chambers—akin to a constellation of private law firms. You'll gain an appreciation for the weekly rhythm that governs the hallowed halls of the Supreme Court. We also delve into the art of impactful oral advocacy and the crafting of compelling briefs. We even take a moment to muse on what life might have held for Chief Justice Kane if the family tradition of law and ranching hadn't called.

Episode transcript Note: The following transcript was created by Slack and may contain misspellings and other inaccuracies as it was generated automatically: Welcome to Late Edition Crime Beat Chronicles, a Lee Enterprises Podcast. I'm Ambre Moton, the producer and editor of the show, filling in for Nat Cardona who's taking some well-deserved time off.  If you haven't listened to the first three episodes and our latest series about the Osage reign of terror, please go back and listen to those before starting this one. So far, we've talked about the history of the Osage tribe and how they ended up in what became the state of Oklahoma, their oil rich land, and how those rights to that land led to the horrible series of suspicious deaths. Kidnapings and the general environment of fear that made up the reign of terror. We've talked about the blue eyes, investigation and eventual conviction of those who are found guilty of the crimes. In this episode, we talk about the place in history and in pop culture that the reign of terror holds. This episode was recorded prior to the release of the film The Killers of the Flower Moon. Those age reign of terror may not have a prominent spot in the United States history curriculum, but it has established its place in popular culture with multiple books, plays, radio shows, films and more created about the events that went on during the 1920s. Most recently, the film Killers of the Flower Moon, based on a book by David Grann, was released on October 20th, 2023. Martin Scorsese directed and Leonardo DiCaprio and Lily Gladstone star in the film. The Tulsa World's pop culture reporter Jimmy Trammell and I talked about the place the reign of terror holds in pop culture, and a little more about the film. Why should people go see the movie, especially our true crime fans? I can't think of a reason that they should not go to see the movie. It's one of the. From a true crime standpoint, it's one of the biggest crimes in our nation's history that really has not been expounded on. It's crazy. This happened 100 years ago. And as far as us knowing about it, as far as the story being fleshed out, that it never really came to light nationally at all until David Grann's fantastic book became a bestseller. And then and then Scorsese's movie is going to take it to the next level. And I should tell you that initially the movie was going to be, here comes the FBI to solve these murders. And then Scorsese. DiCaprio I think that huddled and decided to pivot. And now this movie is not going to be strictly about FBI coming in. It's going to be. It's going to be wrapped around the marriage of DiCaprio's character and Lily Gladstone's character. It's going to focus on this very personal story. And by the way, we're going to wrap it in to the Osage reign of terror, which I think is a fantastic way of going about it in a personal story is always going to resonate more than a story of another kind. Completely agree that everyone is giving Martin Scorsese, the director, props 100% because he didn't just come in and say, I have adopted this book. We're going to make a movie at every step along the way. He has incorporated and involved and consulted the Osage people were I mean, it's their story. They were impacted. They should have a say in this. And so their language, their costumes, everything about their way of life is portrayed authentically in this film. It's not an outsider coming in and saying, to heck with that. We'll do it my way. You're going to see it portrayed legitimately. You did profile Julie O'Keefe, who was a wardrobe consultant on the film. Can you tell us a little bit about her, her background and why she was important to the portrayal of the Osage as in the movie? Julie O'Keefe, who has had some costume shops, but her resumé is far more extensive than having a costume shop. She was enlisted to be a costume designer, an Osage costume consultant on the film. And so they used pictures from back in the day. Other reference to really make sure the people you see in the film dressed in the way they were, you know, in the 1920s, 100 years ago. And that's another example of Martin Scorsese and his team just taking every measure possible to make sure the Osage, what you see on the screen, is authentic. I mean, he Martin Scorsese, he even said, well, I'm sorry. I was standing there with the Osage who said at the premiere in France that some of the actors on the screen are speaking Osage as well as some of the Osage Nation members. I love that we've come so far from having Italian actors playing natives to respecting the history, the people and the living history that's going on. And yeah, Chief Strongbow, the Native American wrestler, was an Italian word. So what you're talking about. Exactly. I mean, I can turn on any Western on TV in the next room and see Mr. Spock playing a Native American. I love Leonard Nimoy, but he's not a Native American. So we we love. Yes. That people of a certain ethnicity are playing those people in pop culture. No better example of this than Reservation Dogs, the television series that wrapped up a three year run and was shot in Oklahoma as well. I grew up in small town Oklahoma and primarily a Cherokee community, and the people I see, the people I saw in reservation dogs. I look at them and think, I grew up exactly with these people. Especially with everything else going on in the world. It's just great to see the respect to culture being given. Well, typically, how the Native Americans have been portrayed and in movie and TV is John Wayne is shooting at them and that's it. I mean, I I've had I have many native friends, but I had one native friend tell me like, hey, when I was young, I would watch Cowboy and Indian movies and root for the Cowboys. How crazy is that? And he's native because, you know, that's the story being told and and you buy in. But I mean, it's so important now that we can see the Native American not as a stereotype, but just as as a human being, as someone who you don't have to tell a native story per se. You can tell a human being story. And by the way, they happen to be native. I know you talked about it a little bit, but what kind of reactions have you heard or seen from Julie and the other Osages. They had an Osage Nation premiere in Tulsa for only the Osage and people who took part in the film And kind of a takeaway was very powerful, very emotional. Glad to see this story being brought to light. But also it's a lot to wrap your head around because if you were in the movie and that premiere in Tulsa, you're probably sitting with people whose grandmother grandfather died as a result of these murders. So it's a lot to process, a lot to wrap your head around. Did anybody express any discomfort about participating in the movie? I mean, you mentioned that some of the people who were there, they might have had grandparents who were, you know, their lives were taken because of all of this. Were there people who might have been reticent at first to participate? Well, because of history, you couldn't blame anyone for being a little tread cautiously. But I think Martin Scorsese, he got rid of all that wariness early on because he met with the Osage. Is right away before they started filming and made it clear that the Osage people would be treated respectfully. I think this movie is going to create a lot of opportunity for the Osage, and as other films go out forward, we've seen, you know, Native Representation and the Great Prey Predator movie last year. Many of the people who were extras or worked on Killers of the Flower Moon now have an opportunity to go on and work on some other things. Oklahoma has a pretty rich film history, you know, you wouldn't think. But they do. Like The Outsiders was filmed here in 82 that launched the careers of Matt Dillon, Patrick Swayze and Rob Lowe. Tom Cruise, he told me, Tell Ralph, Marty, Mojo, all those guys. And in fact, the exact county where killers of the Flower Moon was filmed was where August Osage County was filmed ten years ago. But by far, this figures to be the biggest blockbuster film ever shot on Oklahoma soil. And I think everyone is just happy that instead of going to California and on some down soundstage, Martin Scorsese brought those actors to where everything occurred. So it could be as true to life as possible. We have to take a quick break, so don't go too far. And of course, I caught up with Randy Krehbiel about the film, why people should see it, and how the reign of terror had something in common with another major criminal event that took place in the same area and at the same time period, as I understand it, Martin Scorsese, he shot the film in Osage County. I think the majority of it was shot there. A little bit of it was shot here in Tulsa. In fact, catty corner from our office at the federal courthouse. And I think they shot some in Guthrie, which is a town over north of Oklahoma City and maybe a few other places. But most of it was shot there. And from everything we've heard from the Osage, is he really made an effort? Leonardo DiCaprio made an effort to be very authentic with it in terms of the the people, the language. My understanding is, is that the actors, the main actors all learned some Osage so they could deliver lines in Osage. So my understanding is, is that, you know, it's about betrayal. The movie the movie is about betrayal. And I think betrayal is asked is almost always support a crime. You're betraying someone in some way. And and it's about how, you know, it focuses I think a lot on this one couple and and in in the birchard he's played by Leonardo DiCaprio his struggle with you know apparently he really did care for his wife but he was also he also was kind of under the influence of this uncle who only cared about money and had been taught, you know, to think only about money. And also that, you know, Indian people were not really they didn't really count. Right. Right. And that and I think, you know, and that also often plays into crime. But I think there's a lot psychologically that people who are interested in crime would would find insightful. I think it's a good way for us to start exploring the history that we aren't all taught. Sure, it might be Leo's face up there, but I know there are tons of times where I've gone to see movies that are based on true stories. And then I start Googling and I start reading. And, you know, you kind of fall down that rabbit hole. Well, you hope so. And, you know, it's. I mean, history is almost always more complicated than you can sit. And this is is a very long movie. Apparently, it's I'm told it's three and a half hours long that. Scorsese. But even in with that, you know, yeah, there are things that are left out but but hope that hopefully it takes people's attention interest and as you mentioned there is just an awful lot of history that gets. Swept under the rug neglected over. Yeah well, you know, I've told this a lot. I've said this a lot of times, but I think it's true is that you know, history, the teaching of history serves to almost oppositional purposes. One is one is to try and create this sort of legend about the place we live and who we are. And it's all, you know, we're all the good guys and they're all the bad guys. And that sort of thing. And it's all positive. It's more about image and building community and and patriotism and all that stuff. And then there's sort of and then there's the grittier history that requires some critical thinking and and shows you that, you know, what the the rules tend to favor the people who make the rules. And you mentioned that you had done a lot of writing about the Tulsa race massacre, which was, what, 1921, I believe? Yep. Yep. Was there overlap? I mean, obviously timing. Yes. But I a little bit. And one of the stories that talks about that a little bit so and Brian was found about I think it was ten days before the Tulsa race massacre. so so, you know, so that was very close in time. And there are some people who show up in both stories. One of them is a guy named John Gustafson, who was the police chief of Tulsa and was removed from office. He was basically impeached and removed from office after the massacre for dereliction of duty. Well, he was also a private detective. And so at the same time, he was the chief of police and being removed from office in Tulsa. He'd been hired by Inner Brown's family to find out who killed her. And so he spent a lot of time traipsing around Osage County and according to the FBI and that what they concluded was that he was trying to play both sides. He'd come up with information and then he'd try and chop it and see who he could get the most money for. So from. And so there is that. And then there's another guy that is semi important, a a couple more. One is a guy named John Goldsberry who at the time of the race massacre was the assistant county attorney in Tulsa. And he was the guy who was in who was part of the prosecution of John Gustafson and was also kind of involved in telling the people who I don't know how much of the Tulsa story, you know, but there was this group of people that were trying to take over the Greenwood area and they and they failed. And he was kind of in the group that was telling them, you can't do that. That's a bad idea. So then eight years later, in 1929, he was the U.S. attorney in Tulsa and he was involved in the final prosecution. Bill Hale and in John Ramsey. And then finally, I'd mentioned, well, I guess there's a team or so also there is an attorney again named Prince Freeling. And Prince Freeling was the attorney general at the time of the Tulsa race massacre. And he came in and blow in and go in and he ran the grand jury and all that stuff. By the time that the Ramsey and Hale were on trial, he was out of office and he was part of their defense team. And then and so then I know these guys are all lawyers. It's amazing how many lawyers there are involved in this. But anyway, there's a lawyer named TJ Leahy who is from Pawhuska, and he was guest Gaston's attorney in the in his impeachment trial. But then he was hired by the Osage people to look out for their interests in these prosecutions. And he was involved in the prosecution of every one of these people who went to trial, whether it was in state trial or state court or federal court. He was there as part of the prosecution and and was the guy that Burkhart went to during a state trial in Pawhuska and said, I'm tired of lying. I just want to tell the truth. And he turned on his turned on his uncle. So there are people that I've never seen like a direct, you know, like the people who burned down and were stealing money from people. And I haven't seen that. But there are there are some familiar names. Gotcha. I would say there is this connection, which is that in both cases you see where the lives of, you know, minorities, of people of color and especially women just didn't matter very much. You know, in Tulsa when they decided they were going to do something different with, with the Greenwood area, They didn't ask the black people who lived there. They just tried to do it. Yeah. All right. Well, if you owned the property. By the way, for the most. Part, so they formed this community. Well, so in, you know, in in the Osage, it was like, in fact, there's a quote in one of the FBI reports from there was a notorious outlaw, who was approached about killing a bill and ready to smear who's there, the folks who were blown up in the movie. And he said he wouldn't do it, that he had never he had never stoop so low that he would kill a woman even if she was an Indian. That's something that, you know, that that says it right. These these folks, they just you know, it it wasn't so much in my observation, it wasn't so much that they hated them. It was that they just didn't care anyway. Yeah. They were. They weren't worth anything. Yeah, that's exactly right. And so that is the connection. Very. I hate to say it's interesting because it's such a horrific things happened, but it's impossible to teach comprehensive history, you know, especially at junior high, high school, you know, elementary level. I just wish that it was a little more comprehensive, I guess I should say. Yeah. I mean, I think one of the hard things about teaching school, whatever it is, is deciding what's important in what you know, what's what are the priorities as far as teach. Well, So you do have to learn the fundamentals of history. But somewhere in there, you know, I think there's also room to learn about, you know, not everything was done, you know, virtuously. And it and you do have to question, motivations and things like why do people do the things they do? I think that's just a useful life. You know, I think one of the things that's really hard when you're writing about things like this, whether it's Tulsa or or we're talking about it or the Osage deal is how you talk about a singular event that's particularly horrific and then put it in a larger context without appearing to or actually diminishing that one event. And so, you know, the only thing I'd say is that what happened in Osage County was a singular, ah, event and particularly distressing. But things like that happened all over the and Oklahoma had some of the during the during the oil booms of the early 20th century, some pretty, pretty bad places. And they say something about, you know, human greed and and just sort of the human condition that we should be aware of and like what we were talking about earlier, where we had a I hope we've passed it. But, you know, I'm not always convinced we are that, you know, people who are different than us just don't matter. Are people who are in the in our way don't matter. You know, as a reporter, always trying to look at what is singular about this event, but also how does it fit into sort of the universe of things and how do you tell that story without how do you balance it, you know, and how do how do you not diminish, you know, this one group or one individual's story and yet presented in the full context. And that's where we're wrapping things up with the reign of terror.

I'm Ambre Moton, the producer and editor of the show, filling in for Nat Cardona who's taking some well-deserved time off.  If you haven't listened to the first two episodes of our series about the Osage reign of terror, please go back and listen to those before starting this one. So far, we've talked about the history of the Osage tribe and how they ended up in what became the state of Oklahoma. Their oil rich land. And how those rights were divided. And the horrible series of murders or suspicious deaths. Kidnappings and the environment of fear that made up what historians and journalists call the reign of terror. This week we're talking about the investigations into the crimes, what they found and more. Randy Krehbiel of The Tulsa World reminds us about how difficult it was to get proper investigations into the deaths of the Osage community. Who hired a private detectives to find the cause for the suspicious deaths? The Osage Tribal Council finally petitioned the federal government to send investigators, and in April of 1923, the Bureau of Investigation, the precursor to the FBI, assigned agents to the case. Here's what Randy had to say about the investigation. Well, it was called the reign of terror, because people just lived in terror. They were afraid to to talk. And when the FBI came in there in 1923 to try and sort things out in their in their letters and reports and so forth from that time, you know, they talk about how people are just terrified to talk and and they would not talk to outsiders at all. And, in fact, this is just been talked about a lot with with this book and movie. They wound up putting some some men undercover to try and insinuate themselves into the community so they could get information because people were afraid if they if they told what they knew or what they thought and they were honest about it, they they'd be killed. And and this and this was true of a lot of a lot of people. And, you know, I think Mollie Burkhart, at one time, she told her priest that she was afraid. People just, you know, people people who were not part of the and even some of them who were part of the these these organizations that were that were doing these things were afraid to talk about it. And sometimes they were afraid to talk about it because they were involved, too. You know, but but they often they were afraid to talk about it because of repercussions against themselves. Tulsa World's Jimmy Trammel commented about the investigation's primary target. Who were the the FBI, you know, kind of focusing on or suspecting of all these crimes? Well, Jesse Plemons plays the FBI character, I think, in the in the film. And as far as the actual suspects, you had some other people had kind of amateurish early tried to be the detective or figured this out or, you know, paid to find things out. What ended up happening was the gentleman who was ultimately the suspect and the primary culprit and was put on trial, many people was like, oh, my, he couldn't it couldn't be that guy. He couldn't do it because he's friendly. He was probably the most soldiers. But I mean, you just never know. I mean, it was some kind of wolf in sheep's clothing kind of deal. I asked Tulsa World's Tim Stanley about how well the boy investigated and who they held responsible for the 24 murders that they determined were on an official record. Federal investigators did a good job in so far as it went. I mean, they did they did investigate it. They did bring charges. And they did get convictions. I think the problem is, is that they were more or less content to kind of tie a bow on the whole thing at that point and then move on, which I mean, that's we see that even today in cases of mass killings or where you have serial killers or who are suspected of being connected to any number of deaths, once they get the conviction on on one or two deaths and they get that person off the street, often that's the end of it. You know, for them that, you know, the value in the case to them has, you know, they've they've achieved. But that's yeah. I mean, I think that's kind of what you had here is it was investigated and the federal agency which you know, as we may have discussed previously, the one that it would become the FBI, they did they did a solid job and bringing at least some justice in this case. But they were they didn't really want to dig any further than than just the initial investigation. I mean, J. Edgar Hoover, you know, who was the boss at the time? You know, he got he was well-known for enjoying publicity. And he saw that as valuable to the agency. And he's right. I mean, public relations matter. So, you know, coming in and getting this getting some convictions here, getting a lot of good press out of it, I think satisfied him. And he had no reason to to investigate it or direct that it be investigated further. So, yeah, unfortunate. But you know what that leads us here. You know, 100 years later and tribal members over the decades leaves us all asking a lot of questions that unfortunately can never be answered. How many people were eventually held responsible or convicted, at least of some of these crimes? There were three principal convictions. And the one that's, you know, most significant is the trial and conviction of William Hale and two of the others who were convicted along with him were associates of his. He he has always been considered the mastermind behind many in the slayings, although, again, I think, as we just discussed, the investigators were pretty happy to hang the whole thing on him that made it, you know, a cleaner case and then they could move on in all likelihood. You know, there were many other perpetrators acting independently of Mr. Hale, just opportunists, again, close family members who saw an opportunity to inherit. He was the primary conviction. He was. And he was important, very significant. Even if even if the feds didn't, you know, go any further than this. I mean, it's just, you know, without a doubt, he was behind several of them. And, you know, he ended up I think everyone, the three Hale and his associates were given life sentences, but they were all eventually paroled after just a handful of years, which, you know, is kind of a sad, you know, footnote to this is that while they did face justice, well, they were convicted. You know, they they did end up not serving all of that long. And so while the people obviously it's often this way with justice, but obviously the people that they killed, you know, that that was it for them that these guys did eventually get to get out. But yeah, so three primary, there may have been some others and some tangentially related cases, but three primary convictions. And with William Hale being the chief one. We have to take a quick break. So don't go too far. And Randy added more details about those held responsible and a little about those who weren't. How many people were held responsible for the reign of terror? Almost no one. Almost no one. So in the case of the murders that are highlighted in killers of the flower moon, the two main defendants, as it turned out, were Bill Hale, who was accused of being that kind of the mastermind, and a guy named John Ramsey, who was kind of a ne'er do well cowboy, who basically just, you know, did whatever Hale told him to do. And so each of them was tried three times in federal court for the same murder. And and they were of the first time was a hung jury. They were convicted. This is they were convicted in the next two. And and after the first conviction, there was an appeal. And so they had to be tried again. So those two guys went to prison. Molly Burkhart has been also went to prison. A guy named Kelsey Mawson who killed Anna Brown, who was who was Molly Burkhart sister, he went to prison. Byron Burkhart, who was a Molly Burkhart brother in law, even though he had confessed to killing Hannah Brown, never went to prison. He he testified against Kelsey Morse and in his trial ended in a hung jury. He was never retried. And I'm getting a little bit off your your question here, but I think you'll find this interesting. In the sixties, there was an Osage woman die and she left behind a letter that said, if something happens to me, look at Byron. Well, she was living with Byron Burkhart, who had been involved in these things 40 years before and in and again, he nothing ever happened to him. So I think there were some others that were prosecuted, but but they were very few. And one of the things you realize, especially in going through these FBI papers and reading the trial stories, is how hard it was to get convictions in these things. And and emails case. He had a lot of money and he just pretty blatantly went out and bought tried to buy alibis. I mean the the federal officials and some of the state officials that they were working with were just furious at what they considered to be dishonest and unethical behavior, behavior by his lawyers and some of these lawyers were pretty well known. One of them was a former attorney general in the state of Oklahoma, the the his defense lawyers. So the answer to your question is not many and not only not many, you know, go to prison over this. They really didn't stay very long. They'll have all got out in 16 years. But Burkhart got out before that but then got in trouble again. He violated parole. And so they put him back in in prison. Kelsey Morrison got out in a few years and was killed in a shootout in Texas. So, you know, most of these guys, they didn't serve very long in it. I remember, you know, I was reading some of this stuff and at the same time, we had the the Jones case going on here. And and, you know, whether you think he's guilty or whatever. But I just I couldn't help thinking about the difference in the way, you know, we think about that, at least in Oklahoma. It's pretty routine for people to get life without parole, if not the death penalty. And these guys were out in 16 years. So, you know, I'm sure somebody who is a lot smarter than I am to try and figure out what all of the different racial biases and so forth were in the criminal justice system or in the criminal justice system. I will say just in general, at that time, they didn't they tended not to keep people in prison any longer than they had to. They were you know, they were. It wasn't for profit back then? It wasn't. Well, no, it was it was a cost. And a lot of the states didn't have a lot of money to to they'd rather turn the guys loose and than keep housing and feeding them. Right. Yeah, exactly. How did the government kind of impact this? The FBI came in to investigate. Was the federal government making sure allocations and money were going to the right places and right people? Was it state or was it tribal responsibility? So in theory and this is one of the things that we're still fighting about in Oklahoma, but in theory, the the Osage reservation was dissolved, that statehood. And that's pretty much held up even with some recent Supreme Court decisions that have decided that some of the other reservations weren't dissolved, that statehood. So it was dissolved, that statehood. However, you still had the Osage is owned a lot of the land there because it had been allotted to them. So again, this gets a little complicated, but the state officials did not think they could get a conviction in this case, in state court and in Pawhuska. They wanted the federal government to come in. They wanted. And so the federal government has jurisdiction over Indian land. And and so and there was a lot of discussion at the time to our guys even have any kind of authority here. The the FBI was not even the FBI at that time. It was just the Bureau of Investigation in the Department of Justice. And it had very, very limited authority. And so the key sort of the key thing in bringing this case down, or one of the key things was that one of the men who who was killed, Henry Roan, was killed on an allotment that was still owned by the original L.A. The federal judge in Oklahoma originally ruled that the federal government didn't have authority over that allotment, and it went up to the U.S. Supreme Court. The US Supreme Court said no and allotment is Indian land. And that means the federal the federal government has the authority to to to do this. And so almost all of the real police work, if you will, on this was done by the by the Bureau of Investigation. And they were helped by somewhat by state and local officials. But in their letters, they talk about they just didn't feel like there were many of those people they could trust because of their interest in, first of all, what was going on in Osage County. But then more broadly, you know, they did not want anybody looking too closely into the what was going on with these Indian allotments and in the mineral rights. So. So the involvement of the federal government was key. It's really unlikely that that anything could have been done in the Osage Nation, had actually gone to Congress and asked them to intervene. The Osage is pay a big part and maybe all of the federal government's expenses in prosecuting this case. They paid the federal government to investigate these, or at least they paid the expenses of the federal government to do that. I think another important person in this does not get a lot of attention was Charles Curtis. Charles Curtis was a U.S. senator from Kansas, his whose mother was a college Indian, who was born in in that in what is now Oklahoma. And he was later the vice president of the United States. And he got involved in it and and pushed the Department of Justice to do something. And that, folks, is where we're leaving it for this episode.

Kihekah Avenue cuts through the town of Pawhuska, Okla., roughly north to south, forming the only corridor you might call a “business district” in the town of 2,900. Standing in the middle is a small TV-and-appliance store called Hometown, which occupies a two-story brick building and hasn't changed much in decades. Boards cover its second-story windows, and part of the sign above its awning is broken, leaving half the lettering intact, spelling “Home.”One winter day in February 2021, Jack Fisk stood before Hometown with Martin Scorsese, explaining how beautiful it could be. For much of the last week, he and Scorsese had been walking around Pawhuska, scouting set locations for the director's 28th feature film, “Killers of the Flower Moon.” The film, which is based on David Grann's best-selling book, chronicles the so-called 1920s Reign of Terror, when the Osage Nation's discovery of oil made them some of the richest people in the world but also the target of a conspiracy among white people seeking to kill them for their shares of the mineral rights.To render the events as accurately as possible, Scorsese had decided to film the movie in Osage County. It would be a sprawling, technically complicated shoot, with much of the undertaking falling to Fisk. Unlike production designers who use soundstages or computer-generated imagery, he prefers to build from scratch or to remodel period buildings, and even more than most of his peers, he aspires to exacting historical detail. His task would be to create a full-scale replica of a 1920s boom town atop what remains of 2020s Pawhuska.This story was recorded by Audm.

If you haven't listened to the last episode introducing our latest topic, The Osage Reign of Terror. Go check it out before listening to this one.  Today, we're continuing our look at the series of suspicious deaths in the 1920s of members of the Osage tribe in Oklahoma in the early 1900s. Oil was found on the land that the Osage is had purchased, but the Tulsa World's Randy Krehbiel explains more. The story is that for a long, long time, Indians had known that there were these oil seeps. You know, we're seeing oil would seep out of the ground and it'd be in springs and things like that. But through most of the 1800s, there wasn't really a lot of use for that. Well, they they actually they would use it for like rim remedies and things like that. It was considered medicinal. And so, of course, it wasn't until the invention of things like kerosene lamps and the internal combustion engine that that oil became more valuable. And so the first the first commercial oil well in Oklahoma or what became Oklahoma, this was completed in 1897, just outside the Osage Reservation, just on the eastern edge of it. And a couple of years later, the first well then was drilled in Oklahoma and about that time. And so this was around, you know, around 1900. And that was about the time we were starting to see motor vehicles and and again, kerosene was already pretty popular. People tend to forget that the first use of oil as as we think of it today, was actually kerosene and to use in lamps and things like that. So anyway, that was in the early 1900s, around 1900. And by O 1905 or 1906, they knew they had, you know, quite a bit right around the time of World War One is when it really picked up from like about, you know, about the mid 19 teens through around 1929 was kind of the height of the oil boom. And the Osage nation, the Osage is actually had relative little control over their own affairs. Almost all of that was handled by what now is the Bureau of Indian Affairs or or by the guardians that were appointed. You know, a lot of a lot of them had somebody who was appointed to handle their business affairs because they were not thought to be competent to handle their business affairs. So a lot of that was out of their hands. And also, I think a lot of them, especially the older ones, probably didn't even really completely understand what was going on. But when they first moved there, they probably mainly wanted to just be left alone and and it pretty became pretty soon became apparent that they were not going to be able to do that. When did the Osage reign of terror really begin? There's not really a definite date. So the killers of the Flower Moon, basically the book follow the is a period from about 1921 to about 1929. But there were probably people dying as early as 1912, 1910 or something like that. And interestingly enough, I mean, similar type things were going on in the adjoining Muskogee Creek Nation. The Cherokees had some of that going on. It was a different situation because with the Osage, as they all when they started, they all had equal share. So any Osage was worth, you know, some some sort of money from their head. Right. Whereas with the Muskogee and the Cherokees, their mineral rights were tied to their individual allotment. So if you were if you were a member, one of those tribes that had a particularly valuable allotment, you could be targeted. And and so in some cases, you know, 19 six, 1907, 1908, there were people who were disappearing. Some of them turned up alive somewhere else. Some of them were never found. As far as the Osage, it really began to intensify. It seems like, you know, 19, probably around 1920. And that coincides with when the the the the the height of the boom. So, you know, the boom was really taking off in the late teens, early twenties. By the late twenties, I'm sorry, the late teens, early twenties, it was pretty well subsiding by the late twenties. A very quick reminder about the Osage as mineral rights, the original allotments of the mineral rights were divided into over 2200 shares, which were called head rates as people died, had babies, got married, etc. those rights began moving around and you had some people with multiple rights and some with fractional rights. Making things even more complicated was the ability to pass had rights to non-tribal areas. I spoke with Randi's colleague, Tim Stanley about the series of crimes that earned the name the Osage reign of terror. I am Tim Stanley, reporter here for the Tulsa World have been with the world for a little over 20 years, the reign of terror. I think that was a term that was probably coined maybe by a journalist. I'm not real sure of the origins of it, but I know it did appear in some of the newspapers of the time, but it was a reference to a series of murders that took place among Osage Nation tribal members in the early 1900s. Specifically, I think they date them or officially to like 1921 to 26, that a five year span. Of course, as we as David Grant in his book has pointed out, and as we also did in our series, the the exact years that this took place and the true number of victims probably were probably talking about a much larger span than just that five years. But the murders were, you know, committed by I mean, there was a conspiracy involved. But at the same time, there were a lot of people just individually taking the opportunity they saw to to cheat and exploit and white people taking the opportunity to cheat and exploit their Osage neighbors there in Osage County. But yeah, I just I mean, I think specifically the reign of terror and the word terror there refers to, you know, just how this atmosphere of dread and terror that that really materialized in Osage County. Among the tribal citizens. Thereafter, I think the first three or four killings, I mean, when it kind of became obvious that that these were connected and that potentially anyone who was a member of the tribe could be next. So, yeah, it was I mean, as reported in the newspapers at the time and as David Grann and others have chronicled, it was a time of heightened fear. You had many this was I mean, the electric light bulb in that at that time was still a relatively new innovation. But for a lot of the people, Osage tribal members living outside of the town of Pawhuska or some of the other towns, they lived in the countryside. And Grant describes this in his book that they began to put up electric lights on their properties at night in such a way that they just really are shown for miles around. And they were doing that really out of fear, out of what might be out there in the darkness. Of course, as as we would come to find out, it was less the danger that was out there in the darkness. For many of these folks. It was less what was out there as opposed to what was was inside and close to them. Many of the murders, as it turns out, were committed very sadly by people They trusted, people they knew, family members, close family members, spouses, people who who would then have access to their oil wealth, which was really the motive behind it all. How many victims were there officially? Officially, this is this is where it's interesting, the number that has been tossed around, you know, for years, even before the grand book was was 24. And where that. Which is a lot in a nutshell. That's definitely I mean, it should be eye opening, just as it is today. People know where that comes from. It's interesting, You know, the federal investigators at the time who investigated this case and ultimately, you know, brought charges that that number was one that they put out there. And I think their exact words were they believed that there were at least 24 victims. So they were even, you know, in their language, I think, leaving it open for more. But the 24, you know, that's that's the number that has sort of been, you know, considered official. But, you know, the problem with it, as you know, as we as would as we found out and in our own reporting and as has been reported, you know, my grand you know, the T4, you know, is probably well shy, well short of what the true number was. You know, the problem with the 24 is that and and it's given rise to so much speculation is in saying that there were at least 24 you know, federal investigators didn't give you give or provide a list of those 24. So all we've been able to do, you know, in retrospect, and that includes, you know, the tribal members who've looked into this, is sort of speculate at the top for themselves. Now, some of them are obvious. Three homicides that ended up, you know, charges being brought in that were investigated as homicides. But then you had many others that were just the circumstances were probably suspicious, but they were never investigated as homicides. It's just it's really in other words, it's really hard to come up with a definitive list of the 24 that, you know, federal investigators, you know, thought were were victims here. You know, you'll find lists out there where people speculate on who they might have been. And between those lists, some names or certainly they have in common. But yeah, they didn't they didn't do us any favors when they put that number out there all those years ago and then didn't bother to elaborate on on who that might be. All of them outside of the ones in their specific cases. I think the best thing you can say about it is it's more of a starting point. I mean, it's it's a number that was put out there by the people who investigated it. So it's worth considering. But the problem is we don't even know who the 424 were. And and we now have reason to believe that there were many more in addition to that, that was never made the list. So. So that's that's where the number comes from. And just a little background on it. I guess, unofficially, members of the Osage tribe, do they have another estimate for victims? And when we had a chance to sit down with some of the tribal officials and we talked to the chief Standing bear. Chief for Standing Bear, the principal chief. He said, you know, once there was a time many, many years ago, several decades, when when they were sort of informally talking about this just amongst themselves. And again, very informal, he said. But the number they came up with was I would have put it at well over a hundred killed for their oil wealth during that time span and that it would have been roughly 5% of the tribe's then population, which is pretty eye opening. And he said, you know, even then there were other some of the older members of the tribe who maybe had, you know, who were around even back at the time, who thought that estimate was too low. So, you know, so the tribe unofficially, based on that very informal internal investigation, you know, suggested or proposed well over 100, I mean, 100 compared to 24. So we're talking a death toll, you know, really far exceeding that original estimate. But as you know, Chief Standing Bear pointed out to us, there's just nothing there's no way to do anything with that. There's no way to to, you know, make it any more official than just that. It's pure speculation because that's all you can do, really. A hundred years removed from the events when the when the when the deaths were not necessarily investigated as homicides and when when all you've got or family stories or family suspicions. I mean, that's all you can do is speculate. I mean, it's nothing wrong with that. Speculation can be a good thing. And in this case, I think it is a good thing. But as he would say and remember, it is speculation. It's just it's something we can never know, unfortunately. The way people were killed, it wasn't the same. It wasn't everyone was shot or whatever. No, that would have that sure to have made it a lot easier. Right. From a from an investigative standpoint. But no, you could probably put them into categories. And that's, you know, the ones that were obviously violent and there were many shootings. There was a you know, as it's going to be vividly, I think, portrayed in the movie, there was a house that was dynamited and blown up. Three people killed in it. So those I mean, obviously, you know, those didn't take Sherlock Holmes to to know that you were dealing with homicides. But there were a lot of others, you know, that were just very quiet and just where the, you know, the homicide, if, in fact, that's what it was, just just wasn't obvious and would have taken some serious investigation and in most cases was not done. And in the article that you wrote about how the total number of victims, you know, we may or we will never know the total number of victims compared to what's officially on record. You talked about a few specific or wrote about a few specific stories. Is there anything about those that you'd want to share on the podcast? You know, it's difficult, you know, a hundred years removed to find people who can talk about it or family members that still remember. I you know, we I guess, you know, centrally or especially important to our story was, you know, an interview we did with former Osage principal chief Jim Gray, who is the great grandson of one of the one of the pivotal, pivotal figures, you know, in the whole story. And that was Henry Roan, who was one of the victims and who was a victim who ultimately it was his his slaying that that Hale and the others held accountable were charged for Henry, you know, ended up being a pivotal figure in the story. He was he was murdered, found, you know, shot in the head. He was one of the early murders. He was a he wasn't the first, but it was his that I think, as we mentioned, really, really sort of triggered the terror as we called it at that point, that people could really connect the dots and see that that somebody was out to get these tribal members. But yeah, I think the interview with with former Chief Gray about his his great grandfather was was critical to our story because, number one, I mean, Henry is is so important to the overall story but also just the insights that that Jim Gray could give a contextual understanding of the other forces at work in Henry's life and in helping or making him who he was at that point in his life. But yeah, I mean, he never you know, Jim Gray never had a chance to know his great grandfather. He just knew him through things that his mother would tell him about Henry, who was her grandfather. You know, we went to one of the interviews we did was with the former executive director of the Osage History Museum in Pawhuska, which is a sort of a repository there of a lot of tribal history and artifacts. So a wonderful place if you ever get a chance to go. But the former executive director of that is the lady still lives in that era area named Katherine Red Corn. She talked to us. She she was interviewed by David Grann for his book Killers of the Flower Moon and in it as as in our interview, you know, she talks about an exhibit that they did and there that really sort of, I think from David Grann's own recollections, really sort of launched him on this mission to write this book. And that was an exhibit of of photos from tribal members from the early 1900s, many of whom would have been caught up in this in the reign of terror when they first put this exhibit together. I think Grann came in later and he saw it and was moved by it. But the reason I mean, we want to talk to Katherine about that, because that was pivotal. But she has a family story that I think illustrates what a what a lot of a large number of families have been left to live with as far as questions about a relative's demise and not being able to know for sure whether it was connected. She she told us about, you know, her grandfather, a man named Raymond Red Corn, who died. And this is important. He died in 1931 of suspicious circumstances. And the reason that's important is that if he died in 1931 and his his death is connected to the reign of terror, well, that's you know, the official span was 1921 to 1926 that these killings took place. So if if his death was connected, it shows that they spanned not only farther than that, but end of the next decade. And, you know, we want to be careful with this because, as she said, you know, we really don't know anything for sure. But there there there's always been suspicions surrounding her grandfather's death and that he apparently, based on what things that he said at the time that were that have been passed on, he believed that his his wife at the time, in 1931, I believe, would have been his second wife was actually poisoning him. And he from what Catherine and others told us, you know, if you went over to his house during that time period, he would advise you, don't eat anything while you're here. Don't drink anything. You know, he clearly believes something was going on. And then and then what do you know? One day he dies and now he had had a protracted illness. He had been growing weaker. Well, the only thing we can say, you know, and it really is circumstantial, you know, case. But, you know, the the evidence does seem to fit the patterns of of other what we might call other poisonings. And one thing that makes this so difficult is, is some of these killings were were it was very obvious that they were homicides that you because they were violent. I mean, like with Henry who was shot in the head, I mean, there was no denying it. But with many, many others that that people in retrospect now, we believe, were suspicious. I mean, the cause was just not so obvious. And this was an era when when poisonings were very common, a lot of murders by poison. And depending on, you know, what the substance was and how it was administered, it could be very hard to detect. Now, they could, you know, if they did an autopsy and they did a what we now call a toxic toxicological do talks on it, they could determine that poison was present. They did have that. They did have that capacity. Then, however, you know, if if there was no obvious reason to do it and and you also were dealing with potentially corrupt authorities who were not inclined to look too closely, a lot of these a lot of these deaths were never investigated. We have to take a quick break. So don't go too far. The reign of terror did just that, created an atmosphere of fear in the Osage community. Fear of violence and fear that authorities weren't going to help, even if someone were to speak up. Randy explained how this fear impacted the investigations. The earliest? Well, it was called the Reign of Terror because people just lived in terror. They were afraid to to talk. And when the FBI came in there in 1923 to try and sort things out in their in their letters and reports and so forth, from that time, you know, they talk about how people are just terrified to talk and and they would not talk to outsiders at all. And in fact, is as is been talked about a lot with with this book and movie. They wound up putting some some men undercover to try and insinuate themselves into the community so they could get information. And because people were afraid if they if they told what they knew or what they thought and they were honest about it, they they'd be killed. And and this and this was true of a lot of other people in And, you know, I think Molly Burkhart, at one time, she told her priest that she was afraid. People just, you know, people, people who were not part of the and even some of them who were part of the these these organizations that were that were doing these things were afraid to talk about it. And sometimes they were afraid to talk about it because they were involved, too. You know, but but they often they were afraid to talk about it because of repercussions against themselves. And, you know, so again, you'd have people just go missing their bodies, you know, that that would turn out you know, they'd find them out in the in the oil field or or in a ravine or or you'd have one thing that happened a lot was was unexplained deaths. People would, you know, quote, get sick and die. And that happened with Molly Burkhart mother. And and at least and in one of her, at least one of her sisters, where they, uh, they called it like mysterious wasting disease and things like they didn't really have a name for it. And the FBI suspected the local doctor was in on it, that he that he knew what was going on. And he was, you know, making it worse or at least reporting it. Maybe taking kickbacks from the perpetrators. Well, yes, exactly. Some people some of these folks suffered from diabetes and they weren't being. Now, treating diabetes, I think in those days was probably a lot more difficult anyway. But they were not like, we're not helping it anyway. Mm hmm. And it you know, it was just. It... Was it was a time when you just had to, you know, be careful about every little thing you did and said. And this is where we wrap things up today.

The investigation started with the reexamination of the disappearance of Cynthia Kinney, a 16-year-old cheerleader last seen at a laundromat in Pawhuska, Oklahoma.Osage County Sheriff Eddie Virden decided to investigate a possible link between Rader and Kinney's disappearance when he learned that Rader had included the phrase “bad laundry day” in his writings.The investigation includes other unsolved murders and missing persons cases, including the death of 22-year-old Shawna Beth Garber, whose body was discovered in December 1990 in McDonald County, Missouri. She had been raped, strangled and restrained with different bindings. As part of the investigation, police conducted a dig near Rader's former Kansas property in Park City.Through jailhouse visits, telephone calls, and written correspondence, Dr. Katherine Ramsland, the renowned professor of forensic psychology and author worked with Rader himself to analyze the layers of his psyche. Using his drawings, letters, interviews, and Rader's unique codes, she presents in meticulous detail the childhood roots and development of one man's motivation to stalk, torture, and kill. She reveals aspects of the dark motivations of this most famous of living serial killers that have never before been revealed. With exclusive conversations with Rader himself, comprehensive interviews, and access to Rader's drawings and coded diaries all paired with Dr. Ramsland's expertise, we get to know the man behind the moniker, the truth behind the headline and a glimpse at the secrets Rader is still holding onto.

Osage County Sheriff Eddie Virden is investigating how Rader's writings and sketches could possibly link him to Cynthia's disappearance. However, Osage County District Attorney Mike Fisher has disputed Sheriff Virden's claims, saying there is insufficient evidence to link Rader to the crime. FOX 23 Anchor Rick Maranon has been following the feud between the Osage County Sheriff and District Attorney. He discusses the new BTK Task Force created by Sheriff Virden and shares the impact Cynthia's death has had on the local community.

In recent developments, the alleged connection between the notorious BTK serial killer, Dennis Rader, and an Oklahoma cold case has been put under scrutiny. District Attorney Mike Fisher stated on Monday that there is insufficient information to press charges against Rader in connection with the disappearance of Cynthia Dawn Kinney from Pawhuska, Oklahoma.    A month ago, it was disclosed by Osage County authorities that Dennis Rader, the man behind the horrifying BTK killings in Wichita, Kansas, was a prime suspect in some unsolved disappearances, including Kinney's case. The Undersheriff of Osage County, Oklahoma, recently revealed that they have at least four "pretty strong connections" to cold case investigations potentially linked to Rader, implying they might be strong enough to lead to trials. However, Fisher's recent statement contradicts this position.    In a press conference, Fisher explained, “As of this date, the information that has been shared is insufficient to file criminal charges against Dennis Rader.” Notably, the continuous updates and speculations about the case have warranted an elevated interest, prompting Fisher to request the Oklahoma State Bureau of Investigation to commence a formal probe into Kinney's mysterious disappearance.    Fisher further elucidated that he would proceed with charges if any substantial evidence emerged. Shedding light on his involvement, he added that he was present during a law enforcement interview concerning Rader approximately three months ago. The interview saw participation from investigators spanning Kansas, Missouri, and Oklahoma, with Fisher and his investigator in attendance.    The crux of the matter, however, is the Osage County Sheriff's failure to share any tangible evidence with the District Attorney's office. Addressing this, Fisher stated, “The information that we have received to this point, there are – I'll call them rumors because they've not been substantiated yet – rumors as to potential other evidence that I have been made aware of. None of that at this point arises to the level of even reasonable suspicion.”    Highlighting the necessity for a methodical and appropriate investigation, Fisher expressed concerns about how the inquiry was being managed, citing instances like the Osage County Sheriff's visit to Rader's residence with a search warrant and the subsequent dig that took place. Fisher's reservation stemmed from his belief that such crucial tasks "would probably be better left to investigators."    While the legalities and intricacies of the case continue to unfold, Fisher emphasized his growing concern for the parents of Cynthia Dawn Kinney. The elderly couple, both in their 80s, have borne the heavy weight of their daughter's mysterious disappearance for 47 long years. Fisher remarked, “Cynthia went missing 47 years ago. They've got no answers.” He further noted that while there's a possibility that Kinney's disappearance was a result of a homicide, nothing can be stated with absolute certainty. The continuous media speculation and coverage have taken a toll on Kinney's parents, who have been grappling with scenarios of what could have befallen their daughter. Such stress has had noticeable physical repercussions on them, leading Fisher to urge the public to respect their privacy.    Dennis Rader, now 78, infamously known as the BTK (Bind, Torture, Kill) killer, has been serving his sentence at the El Dorado Correctional Facility since 2005.   With this case's developments reigniting public and media interest, it remains to be seen how the investigation will progress and whether the family of Cynthia Dawn Kinney will finally get the answers they have been seeking for nearly half a century.

The dark shadow cast by the BTK serial killer, Dennis Rader, may be even longer than previously thought. Although Rader is currently serving 10 consecutive life terms for the murder of 10 people between 1974 and 1991, there are still unsolved missing persons and murder cases possibly attributed to him. His daughter, Kerri Rawson, stated on record that there are currently five unsolved cases that investigators believe could be linked to her father, a man she describes as a pathological liar, narcissist, sexual sadistic psychopath, and a predator.    The first of these cases involves Cynthia Dawn Kinney, a 16-year-old cheerleader who went missing in 1976 in Pawhuska, Oklahoma. The case, referred to as 'PJ Bad Wash Day' in Rader's journals, is one of several that investigators are re-examining based on the collection of writings and other materials seized after Rader's arrest in 2005. The Osage County Sheriff's Office, which has been conducting a thorough search of properties linked to Rader, recently found potential evidence, including possible restraints, a "pantyhose ligature," and what could be considered "trophies" that might help identify another victim.    Another case is the unsolved murder of 22-year-old Shawna Beth Garber in McDonald County, Missouri, in 1990, referred to as 'PJ Mossy Lake' in Rader's journals. Garber's assault exhibited the BTK signature – she was raped, restrained with different types of bindings, and then strangled. Her remains, found severely decomposed near an abandoned house in southwest Missouri, were identified through genetic genealogy in 2021.    In addition to these two cases, there is another missing woman from Hays, Kansas, in 1983, referred to as 'PJ Prairie,' an unsolved murder in Kansas referred to as 'Project Bell,' and another unsolved violent crime in Oklahoma, known as 'Oklahoma case #2,' which is not a murder or missing person case.    These investigations are part of a broader effort to solve cold cases that may be linked to Rader. After his arrest, authorities uncovered a trove of writings, including journals, notebooks, and an unpublished book manuscript, which Rader used to document his crimes and fantasies. These writings have provided a treasure trove of clues for investigators trying to solve cold cases.    Rawson, who has been assisting the investigators, revealed in an interview that she had made a surprise visit to her father in prison to confront him about his potential involvement in the unsolved cases. Despite having a no-contact order against him due to his cyberstalking, she volunteered to speak with him in person. She described her father's deteriorating health but noted that he is mentally sharp and still enjoys playing mind games.    The BTK killer's reign of terror lasted for decades, during which he taunted the police and media with cryptic letters. His modus operandi involved stalking his victims, breaking into their homes, and then binding, torturing, and killing them, hence the moniker BTK (Bind, Torture, Kill). He would often take "tokens" from the crime scenes, such as jewelry, identification cards, and lingerie.    Despite his current incarceration, the possibility that Rader may be linked to more unsolved cases underscores the importance of continued investigation and the use of modern forensics to bring closure to the families of the victims. As Rawson stated, "Let's keep working together to solve these cases for these families. They deserve all that we can give them." Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

Oklahoma officials have recently unearthed crucial evidence from the former property of notorious serial killer, Dennis Rader, situated in Park City, Kansas. The disturbing discovery included "personal items and other binding type items,” according to Osage County Sheriff, Eddie Virden. The sheriff's department also found pantyhose with unique knots tied around the points where they would potentially wrap around a person's wrist or ankle.    Dennis Rader, infamously known as the BTK killer – an acronym for "Bind, Torture, Kill" – was a church leader and Boy Scout volunteer. He is currently incarcerated, serving multiple life sentences for 10 murders that took place around Wichita between 1974 and 1991. Today, Rader emerges as the “prime suspect” in the cold case disappearance of Cynthia ‘Cyndi' Dawn Kinney, a 16-year-old from Pawhuska, Oklahoma. The sheriff's office has also linked Rader to other unsolved murders.    Rader's involvement in these heinous crimes has been a matter of significant speculation. Sheriff Virden is convinced about Rader's connection to the 1976 disappearance of Kinney. "Rader is 100%, in my opinion, the guy," Virden remarked. However, both Rader and his daughter have persistently denied these accusations.    In a previous excavation conducted in April at Rader's former home, officials uncovered vital evidence that was kept under wraps. This week's dig could have been another discreet operation if not for the word getting out. Sheriff Virden explained that the secrecy was not to hide information but rather to protect the affected families and to ensure the investigation remains uncompromised.    Sheriff Virden provided insight into the recent findings, stating, "The items were deliberately placed 14-16 inches below the ground." This depth is significant as it reflects Rader's meticulous nature and his history of retaining souvenirs from his victims. Two separate locations in the property revealed deliberately buried items. One such location had its soil replaced with a sand-like substance and appeared to have a brick floor with shingles, possibly to shield the buried items. The sheriff remains uncertain whether these found items pertain to the 10 murders for which Rader is currently serving his sentences or if they relate to the newer cases he is suspected of.    One of the primary cold cases linked to Rader is that of Cynthia Dawn Kinney. Kinney mysteriously vanished in 1976 after reportedly leaving her family's laundromat and possibly entering a 1965 faded beige Plymouth with two women. Several clues hint at Rader's involvement, including a cryptic message in a book he was penning before his arrest, referencing a 1976 killing titled "project bad laundry day." Further, Rader's known familiarity with the Oklahoma region, combined with his occupation as a regional installer for ADT – which would have put him in proximity to the area during Kinney's disappearance – strengthen suspicions of his involvement.    Rader is also under investigation for his potential involvement in other tragic incidents, like the unfortunate case of Shawna Beth Garber from Missouri.    Kerri Rawson, Rader's daughter, broke her prolonged silence to collaborate with the Osage County Sheriff's Office in their ongoing investigation. Rawson disclosed that she had directed the sheriff's office to inspect specific areas where Rader had previously buried their family pet. She has also re-established contact with her father, confronting him about the new allegations. Although he reiterated his innocence, Rawson observed that he frequently altered his alibis, which she believes could be attributed to his deteriorating memory due to his age.    However, regardless of these findings and suspicions, Rawson remains conflicted.

Oklahoma officials have recently unearthed crucial evidence from the former property of notorious serial killer, Dennis Rader, situated in Park City, Kansas. The disturbing discovery included "personal items and other binding type items,” according to Osage County Sheriff, Eddie Virden. The sheriff's department also found pantyhose with unique knots tied around the points where they would potentially wrap around a person's wrist or ankle.    Dennis Rader, infamously known as the BTK killer – an acronym for "Bind, Torture, Kill" – was a church leader and Boy Scout volunteer. He is currently incarcerated, serving multiple life sentences for 10 murders that took place around Wichita between 1974 and 1991. Today, Rader emerges as the “prime suspect” in the cold case disappearance of Cynthia ‘Cyndi' Dawn Kinney, a 16-year-old from Pawhuska, Oklahoma. The sheriff's office has also linked Rader to other unsolved murders.    Rader's involvement in these heinous crimes has been a matter of significant speculation. Sheriff Virden is convinced about Rader's connection to the 1976 disappearance of Kinney. "Rader is 100%, in my opinion, the guy," Virden remarked. However, both Rader and his daughter have persistently denied these accusations.    In a previous excavation conducted in April at Rader's former home, officials uncovered vital evidence that was kept under wraps. This week's dig could have been another discreet operation if not for the word getting out. Sheriff Virden explained that the secrecy was not to hide information but rather to protect the affected families and to ensure the investigation remains uncompromised.    Sheriff Virden provided insight into the recent findings, stating, "The items were deliberately placed 14-16 inches below the ground." This depth is significant as it reflects Rader's meticulous nature and his history of retaining souvenirs from his victims. Two separate locations in the property revealed deliberately buried items. One such location had its soil replaced with a sand-like substance and appeared to have a brick floor with shingles, possibly to shield the buried items. The sheriff remains uncertain whether these found items pertain to the 10 murders for which Rader is currently serving his sentences or if they relate to the newer cases he is suspected of.    One of the primary cold cases linked to Rader is that of Cynthia Dawn Kinney. Kinney mysteriously vanished in 1976 after reportedly leaving her family's laundromat and possibly entering a 1965 faded beige Plymouth with two women. Several clues hint at Rader's involvement, including a cryptic message in a book he was penning before his arrest, referencing a 1976 killing titled "project bad laundry day." Further, Rader's known familiarity with the Oklahoma region, combined with his occupation as a regional installer for ADT – which would have put him in proximity to the area during Kinney's disappearance – strengthen suspicions of his involvement.    Rader is also under investigation for his potential involvement in other tragic incidents, like the unfortunate case of Shawna Beth Garber from Missouri.    Kerri Rawson, Rader's daughter, broke her prolonged silence to collaborate with the Osage County Sheriff's Office in their ongoing investigation. Rawson disclosed that she had directed the sheriff's office to inspect specific areas where Rader had previously buried their family pet. She has also re-established contact with her father, confronting him about the new allegations. Although he reiterated his innocence, Rawson observed that he frequently altered his alibis, which she believes could be attributed to his deteriorating memory due to his age.    However, regardless of these findings and suspicions, Rawson remains conflicted. She commented, “I'm still not 100% sure my dad did commit any more at this point,” but also emphasized the importance of discovering the truth, stating, “If my dad has harmed somebody else, we need answers.”    This case serves as a chilling reminder of the depths of human depravity and the relentless pursuit of justice.

The notorious BTK serial killer, who once terrorized Kansas, is once again making headlines. Dennis Rader, the man infamously known for his chilling modus operandi to "bind, torture, and kill," is now considered the “prime suspect” in at least two cold cases, as announced by authorities on Wednesday.    Cold Cases Reopened:    The spark that reignited interest in Rader's potential involvement in additional crimes was the renewed investigation into the 1976 disappearance of Cynthia Kinney in Pawhuska, Oklahoma. This case, having been shelved and revisited intermittently over the decades, saw a resurgence of activity last December.    “With our proximity to Kansas and Wichita, Rader's known territory, it was only prudent to delve deeper into our cold cases," said Osage County, Oklahoma, Undersheriff Gary Upton. “The result was the unearthing of numerous unsolved homicides and missing persons cases that potentially have BTK's fingerprints all over them."    Further compounding the suspicion, another cold case being revisited is the tragic death of Shawna Beth Garber. The 22-year-old's remains were discovered in December 1990 in McDonald County, Missouri. The circumstances of her death were hauntingly familiar: she had been raped, strangled, and restrained with different bindings. Her body, lying undiscovered for nearly two months, was not identified until as recently as 2021.    Rader's Reign of Terror:    Dennis Rader, while maintaining the facade of a city code inspector in Kansas, committed a series of gruesome murders, confessing to 10 killings in the Wichita area between 1974 and 1991. His sinister activities caught up with him in 2005, leading to his arrest. Later that year, Rader was handed 10 consecutive life sentences in prison.    Recent Developments:    In an atmosphere of palpable anticipation, Upton shared limited information about a search conducted near Rader's former property in Park City, Kansas. Described as “items of interest,” these findings will undergo meticulous examination to ascertain their connection to the cold cases. Collaborating with the Kansas Bureau of Investigation, Upton aims to shed light on the dark corners of Rader's past.    Phil Bostian, the police chief in the Wichita suburb of Park City, mentioned the involvement of public works in the investigation, hinting at the removal of cement and excavation activities.    Rader's Family Cooperates:    In a twist that adds depth to the narrative, Kerri Rawson, Rader's daughter, revealed her collaboration with investigators this summer. Rawson met with her father after years of no communication, suspecting that her father might have concealed items related to the unresolved cases on his property, notably under a metal shed he constructed. This shed, along with Rader's previous residence, has since been razed.    Rawson additionally directed investigators to the location where the family dog was buried. With a mix of hope and trepidation, she expressed her wish to find conclusive answers. "I'm still not 100% sure my dad did commit any more at this point," she remarked. However, in her words, if her father had indeed harmed others, "we need answers."    The Path Ahead:    The renewed interest in Rader's possible involvement in additional crimes highlights the never-ending quest for justice. With investigators leaving no stone unturned, and with cooperation from unexpected quarters, the hope is to finally close the chapter on cases that have haunted families for decades.    These developments remind us that even in the darkest of tales, the pursuit of truth remains relentless. As the story unfolds, communities affected by Rader's heinous acts look forward to a resolution and, perhaps, a sense of closure. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

On June 23, 1976, Cynthia “Cyndi” Dawn Kinney went missing from Pawhuska. Cyndi was a 16 year old, 5' 1” 97 lbs, straight chin length brown haired, brown eyed, Junior in high school during the summer of ‘76. Cyndi had a peach colored blouse and blue jeans at work at the Osage Laundromat, that was owned by her aunt and uncle. Witnesses last saw Cyndi at approximately 9:30 am. There was her purse, drink, and a half eaten donut left in the laundromat. Witnesses state she got into a faded beige 1965 Plymouth Belvedere. This is were the witness accounts differ, one of the accounts states that the car was occupied by one man and one women, the other states the car had two women in the 20s' inside the vehicle. In 1991, a witness came forward, stating Cyndi was seen with Hobart Green minutes before she disappeared. Green pleased guilty in 1986 for second degree murder of his infant son. Green is also a suspect in his ex wife, Maxine Beatrice Green's disappearance 15 years before Cyndi's disappearance. Maxine was never found and charges have never been charged. Authorities have never verified if Green was in fact with Cyndi or whether he is even a suspect. Several reported sighting where reported, with her supposedly traveling around Kansas with a religious group. This was never confirmed. By all accounts Cyndi was a popular student. She made good grades, and had just made the cheerleading team. Authorities classify her disappearance as missing under suspicious circumstances and possible taken against her will. If you have any information on Cyndi's disappearance please contact Osage County Sheriff's Office at (888)287-3150. https://uncovered.com/cases/cynthia-kinney trailer: @coffeencrimepodcast --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/maryanne-mccullough/message

Joe is a member of the Osage Nation and knows all the Osage history of the area, but was also a tough team roper, roping with and against most of the greats. Joe was fortunate enough to be cast in the upcoming "Killers of the Flower Moon" movie, which was filmed primarily in Pawhuska and the surrounding area.

Three score years and ten. It says it in the Bible, our allotted time upon this planet, the time we can expect to wander and walk and wonder, because nobody lives forever. From dust we come and to dust we return and that is one of the great equalizers for all Humanity - in the end, we're all the same. Well, most of us. The need for humans to forestall their deaths is understandable, because what comes next is perhaps the greatest mystery of all. Most of us can expect a final resting place for our remains, though more and more the trend is the scattering of ashes. As the poet said long ago, the grave's a fine and private place, a little piece of real estate for eternity. But for some, their journey to that final destination is full of detours and winding ways. Take the story of Elmer McCurdy, late of Washington and Bangor,Maine. Washington, Maine. Even today, the little village has a post office, a fire station, a general store and a bookstore. That's about it. It has not changed much since 1880, when Elmer was born January 1, 1880 in Washington, Maine- a New Years's baby - to 17 year old Sadie. His father was not in the picture nor did he ever know him, though it was rumored to be her cousin,Charles. In order to save his sister from the stigma and also to give little Elmer support, Sadie's brother, George, adopted him. Sadie lived with George and his wife, Helen. So Elmer had a father for the first ten years of his life, someone to guide him. He was brought up to think that George was his natural father and Helen his natural mother and that Sadie was his spinster aunt. In 1890, when Elmer was ten years old, George succumbed to tuberculosis. With no one to support them, Sadie and Helen took Elmer and moved north to the bustling city of Bangor, alongside the Penobscot. It was a working man's town, a drinking man's town with places no ten year old boy, especially without a father, should ever go, either in the daylight or after dark. By the time Elmer was a teenager he had discovered his true parentage. Elmer became a rebellious teenager, with no guidance in a town where beer and whiskey ran like water on nearly every street corner. It was during these formative years that Elmer became an alcoholic. Things went from bad to worse in Bangor. The fighting, the drinking and the lack of any focus in his life sent Elmer into a downward spiral that somehow, he found his way out of. When he had male guidance in his life, he had done well. When he had none, he fell hard from grace. To that end he reached out to his only other male relative, his grandfather who still lived in the town of Washington. There he learned the trade of a plumber. Away from the night life and rowdiness of Bangor and in the presence of his sober grandfather, their plumbing business thrived until 1898, when the economy took a downward turn. His grandfather began to suffer from dropsy, hemorrhages, and other symptoms what would eventually be diagnosed as Bright's Disease. He died from a ruptured ulcer. After a month of illness, Elmer found himself without a male force in his life to guide him. He was young, he had no connections, but he did have a trade. Why he left his trade for a life of villainy, we will never know. Maine was too quiet a setting to hold the anger and rambunctiousness that Elmer had when on a tear. With no one to stop him, Elmer took to the bottle again and then, he took to the road. He went from job to job, rambling the country. He tried plumbing for awhile, but it lacked adventure, it lacked the excitement that he was craving, so he went west and tried his hand as a lead miner. Roaming from job to job and town to town, drinking along the way found his first real run-in with the law: he was arrested for public drunkenness in Kansas. As soon as he could, he left Kansas for Missouri. Elmer must have wanted a better life. He must have longed for something better. Perhaps his recent run-ins with the law made him reconsider the course of his life. After seven years of struggle and uncertainty, drinking and rowdiness, in 1907 Elmer McCurdy joined the United States Army and was assigned to Fort Leavenworth. His assignment was that of machine gun operator, a weapon invented by fellow Maine native Hiram Maxim. Though he could operate a machine gun with great alacrity, he showed real promise with high explosives. He learned to handle and use nitroglycerin. For the three years of his enlistment, Elmer McCurdy became proficient at blowing things up. But the end of his term came in November 1910. Had he stayed in the Army, Elmer might have made older bones. As things panned out, Elmer would be dead in less than twelve months. Elmer found himself at sixes and seven, unable or unwilling to settle down to a simple life. He took again to rambling from town to town, eventually winding up with an army buddy in Kansas where they were both arrested for possession of the tools of a thief. They were tried and at their trial, McCurdy and his friend insisted to the judge that they needed the blackpowder, hammers, chisels and saws because they were endeavoring to invent a foot-operated machine gun. A sympathetic judge found the pair not guilty and Elmer McCurdy found himself a free man when he was released just after he turned thirty one years of age. Elmer was released back to the world without a direction or a plan. He took to wandering again, this time to Oklahoma where he heard rumors of a safe being transported that contained a lot of money, perhaps as much as four thousand dollars. It was supposed to be on the Iron Mountain-Missouri Pacific Train. A daring act of boldness and some nitroglycerine could do the trick. With the help of three other men, he gave it a shot. The result was disastrous - he miscalculated the amount of nitro needed and blew up the safe so totally that any paper money that might have been inside was incinerated. He managed to haul away a hunk of silver coins that had fused together, equalling about $450 for their troubles. Having escaped and absconded with the silver, McCurdy turned his hand to bank robbing. Chautauqua, Kansas offered a tempting target - the Citizens Bank. With the help of two new scoundrels, Elmer took more care not to blow the safe to Kingdom Come with his nitroglycerin. But Elmer's luck was beginning to show a pattern toward the unfortunate. His first attempt destroyed only the outer door of the vault. Another secondary charge didn't even explode. Elmer and his accomplices found some bags of coins left outside the main vault and left with a pitiful amount given their efforts - around $150, again, in coins. He was turning out to be a successful coin thief, and that was it. On the run again, Elmer split up from his two accomplices and found himself living in a hay barn on a ranch in Oklahoma. Tired, sick and depending heavily on drink, Elmer heard of another chance to prove himself as a skilled thief. The Osage Nation was to receive a royalty payment of $400,000, a tempting target for a man on the run with nothing to lose. He easily found two other men to help him. The trio successfully stopped the train and searched it frantically for the money, but it became clear very quickly to them that they had, in fact, stopped the wrong train. They robbed the passengers taking whatever they had, including $46 and some whiskey. Another failed attempted - the worst one yet. Elmer McCurdy went back to the farm where he had been staying in Oklahoma. He was sick, probably with pneumonia and tuberculosis, a dire condition indeed, especially when living in a hay barn. What little luck he had was running out. A $2000 reward was offered for his apprehension, something he was unaware of in his quiet hideout. On the morning of October 7, 1911, the farm was visited by a deputation of three Sheriffs who had tracked McCurdy with bloodhounds. McCurdy put up a fight but in the end, a sheriff's bullet pierced his chest and the last day of a bad man ended. Elmer McCurdy from Washington,Maine, plumber, alcoholic, train and bank robber and criminal failure, was done. It was over. But not really. In a way, Elmer's journey had only just begun... Since he was brought in dead, and not alive, there was no need for a trial. The body was brought to the local undertaker in Pawhuska, Oklahoma, who, after the manner of his occupation, embalmed Elmer's corpse with embalming fluid infused with arsenic, to preserve it for whatever journey it would need to take to make it to his final burying ground. Little did he know how long that journey would be. Imagine being the undertaker waiting for days, then weeks, without anyone showing up to claim the body. After six months, it became clear to the undertaker that he was going to take a loss on this cadaver, so he stuck a pistol in Elmer's hand and charged folks a nickel to see the infamous train robber, Elmer McCurdy. People came from miles around and soon word spread - not only could you see a preserved dead body but it was that of an outlaw! For five years, the attraction continued until one day, two men showed up claiming to be Elmer's kin. They paid the undertaker and left with the corpse. Of course, they weren't his kin and of course, they weren't about to bury a moneymaker. The two mysterious 'relatives' were actually owners of a traveling carnival. From 1916 to 1922, Elmer's corpse kept roaming from town to town. In 1922 he was sold to a man who had a wax museum. Elmer was put in the outlaw section but was touted as a 'real dead outlaw'. His corpse remained there 49 years until it was sold again and went on display in a California fun park, displayed as the Thousand year old man. He was hung from the neck in a ghost train ride, painted in phosphorous paint to glow in the dark. The fun park , known as The Great Patterson Shows, was rented in 1971 for an episode of The Six Million Dollar Man. The props man, Chris Haynes, noticed that the dummy hanging from its neck looked too real. He was trying to move the thousand year old glow-in-the-dark man from his noose, when Elmer's arm fell off, revealing his bones. Haynes tell us the following: " It was easy to see his body stitched up from his autopsy. Elmer's hands were covering his private parts. I tried to move the hand to show them that he ... wasn't made from papier maché. When I moved his arm, it snapped off in my hand, exposing bone and mummified muscles. I reported this to the Long Beach cop working on the show." After a rather lengthy investigation and following the paper trail, the authorities discovered who this unlikely carnival attraction really was. They pried open his mouth and found a 1924 penny and a ticket from the Museum of Crime in LA. They found the .32 caliber gunshot wound and the bullet that killed him - manufactured somewhere between 1830 and 1920. Eventually, newspaper accounts helped them discover the identity of the cadaver: none other than Elmer McCurdy, formerly of Washington and Bangor, Maine, plumber, train and bank robber. They buried his bones in April of 1977 in the Boot Hill section of the Summit View Cemetery, in Guthrie, Oklahoma. They covered the coffin in concrete before they piled the dirt back on. After all of his rambling and nefarious deeds, his suffering and death, Elmer McCurdy is finally at rest. When you step out of your door as your leave your house, you never truly know when you're ever going to come back again, if at all. Not a very comforting thought. You might find a vast journey ahead of you, or maybe just a trip to market, before you make it home again. In the case of Elmer McCurdy, he might have gone on to meet his maker in 1922 but his body kept on moving from town to town, for all to see, without ever knowing the truth of his identity or the sad turns his life took before he met with the bullet that robbed him of his breath.
