Except for the Osage Dancers in the top photo - and, most importantly, the
sister Mollie Burkhardt - all people pictured were murdered between 1921
and 1923. Mollie was being poisoned; the intervention of the FBI saved
her life. **There were originally 24 murders "listed" - the author of the
book discovered many, many more.... Only 6 were solved.**
