On that same subject, the movie doesnt entirely capture just how valuable the oil find was.
However, that number has long been the subject of some debate.
Renewed reports suggest that there were likely more than 50 Osage and Osage-related murders during that time period.
Of course the events that followed certainly helped popularize that particular theory.
Albeit thats partially because thats exactly how Hoover wanted the FBI and himself to be seen.
Hoover wasted little time celebrating the FBIs successful investigation of the Osage murders.
Notice that I say the FBIs investigation rather than Tom Whites investigation.
But what about Tom White?
White eventually became a prison warden and only made sporadic contact with Hoover during their respective remaining years.
Hoover told White he would consider the request but never offered him such a position.
However, Hoover did ensure that he gave himself a cameo in the movie.
