Robert De Niro's character plays a central role in Martin Scorsese's movie, but what happened to William King Hale after Killers of the Flower Moon?
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Martin Scorsese's Killers of the Flower Moon explores the Osage murders of the 1920s and the primary culprit William King Hale, but little information is given about what happened to Robert De Niro's character after.
As detailed in the unique epilogue featured in Killers of the Flower Moon's ending, Hale was eventually convicted of first-degree murder for the killing of Henry Roan, alongside John Ramsey, the man who actually pulled the trigger on Roan on Hale's orders. Both men received life sentences, and despite numerous retrials and appeals, Hale was eventually sent to the infamous Leavenworth Penitentiary in Kansas to serve his sentence.
William King Hale Was Paroled In 1947, 21 Years After Killers Of The Flower Moon William King Hale was finally convicted in federal court for the murder of Henry Roan in October 1929, at which time he was sent to Leavenworth to begin his sentence. As noted in David Grann's non-fiction Killers of the Flower Moon book the movie is based on, Hale spent nearly two decades in Leavenworth, doing manual labor on a prison farm and in the prison's tuberculosis ward.
Hale was paroled in July 1947, after only 18 years served of his life sentence. His release came 24 years after the murder of Henry Roan which Hale was convicted for, and 21 years after the events of Killers of the Flower Moon ended. Following his release from prison in 1947, Hale never regained any of the wealth or prominence that he enjoyed during his time leading the crime ring responsible for the Osage Indian murders.
When William King Hale Died & How Old He Was As his age advanced and the life of a cowboy became unsuitable, Hale moved to Phoenix, Arizona in the early 1950s to live out his remaining days. William King Hale died in a nursing home in Phoenix in August 1962 at the age of 87. The unscrupulous business dealings detailed in Killers of the Flower Moon made him one of Oklahoma's wealthiest men in the 1920s, but he never approached anywhere near that level of success for the rest of his life.
