It was concluded that she was poisoned. The law enforcement system was very weak, but William Hale, uncle of Earnest, steps in to help the Osage help find evidence for the murders. The Osage were mistreated by the whites, who encouraged them to leave behind their Indian cultures. The Osage discovered their land was prosperous with oil, which led to the whites offering large amounts of money for the oil.]]> 2020-03-03 17:48:37 UTC https://padlet.com/michalena_mezzopera1/ce1rdsi9i5ke/wish/453817998 https://padlet.com/michalena_mezzopera1/ce1rdsi9i5ke/wish/453823406 Minnie, Anna, and Rita's sister and the daughter of Lizzie and Jimmy.

2) Did the whites want to get rid of the Osage to access the oil?
3) Was the gun in Anna's purse the same 32 Caliber that was used to kill her and Whitehorn?]]> 2020-03-03 18:10:19 UTC https://padlet.com/michalena_mezzopera1/ce1rdsi9i5ke/wish/453835088 https://padlet.com/michalena_mezzopera1/ce1rdsi9i5ke/wish/453836721 1) Mollie-seen as a responsible sister and after Anna was murdered, she was trusted to speak with the authorities; therefore giving her a reason not to be the killer.

More and more people people are being killed in more elaborate ways. During the Prohibition, the government was not regulating how alcohol was made so outlaws like Henry Grammar made bootleg alcohol that made Indians like Anna and Roan die.

Vaughn, in his house and body, on the suspects of the murders, was suspiciously killed and the document were seized from his body and house. ]]> 2020-03-05 17:59:40 UTC https://padlet.com/michalena_mezzopera1/ce1rdsi9i5ke/wish/455260796 https://padlet.com/michalena_mezzopera1/ce1rdsi9i5ke/wish/455267626 1.
