Strange Country Ep. 59: The Osage Murders
from Strange Country · host Beth and Kelly
The Osage people were stripped of their homes and land and relocated to a stamp of untillable land in Oklahoma. There they struck black gold, making them extremely wealthy. They seemed to have it all until many went missing or turned up dead. Strange Country co-hosts Kelly and Beth explore the Reign of Terror that befell the Osage people in the early 1920s.
