Скачать или смотреть Osage Murders and FBI Origins | The True Crime That Built the Bureau

In the 1920s, the Osage Nation in Oklahoma was the wealthiest group of people per capita in the world, thanks to oil beneath their land. Then, a "Reign of Terror" began: Osage members were systematically murdered for their oil wealth, or "headrights." Local authorities were complicit, and the killers operated with impunity.

This short reveals how this epidemic of greed and murder forced the U.S. government to act. A young J. Edgar Hoover seized the opportunity, forming a new, centralized investigative unit that pioneered forensic accounting and undercover work to crack the case. This investigation became the direct blueprint for the modern Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).

Discover the dark, buried origin story of America's premier law enforcement agency and the forgotten tragedy of the Osage people that sparked its creation, later revealed in "Killers of the Flower Moon."
