Drs. Joe and Carol Conner

Voices of Oklahoma

Killers of the Flower Moon is the story of serial murders of members of the oil-wealthy Osage Nation which took place mainly in Fairfax, Oklahoma.
Joe Conner, an Osage, lost a family member to the greed. An aunt, Sybil Bolton, was murdered in Pawhuska in 1925.
Joe and his wife Carol are founding members of the Fairfax Community Foundation which owns the Tall Chief Theater and manages its fundraising efforts dedicated to creating a memorial to the Osage victims of the reign of terror.
In their Voices of Oklahoma interview, they discuss the background of the crimes, how the present-day community is dealing with these crimes, and how the murders changed Fairfax forever.
As publisher and editor of the Fairfax newspaper, Joe and Carol witnessed some of the filming of Killers of the Flower Moon.
