Owasso timeline ties June child-sex probe to July murder-suicide

Owasso police released a timeline linking a June investigation into alleged inappropriate sexual contact by a traveling basketball coach to a July 23 murder-suicide involving the same suspect, Jeremiah Duffey. The June case, involving a juvenile and a parent and conducted in Indian Country, was referred to federal authorities under the Federal Major Crimes Act, ending Owasso’s jurisdiction. Duffey’s estranged wife, Sara Duffey, had a protective order against him; she and Jeremiah Duffey were found dead in what police believe was a murder-suicide. No violations of the protective order were reported before the July 23 incident, and the team involved was not affiliated with Owasso Public Schools.

"Scorsese's 'Killers of the Flower Moon': A Controversial Adaptation"

Martin Scorsese's film adaptation of "Killers of the Flower Moon" by David Grann, about the Osage Nation murders in the 1920s, falls short in capturing the nuance and insight of the source material. While Grann's book explores the collective evil and systemic racism that enabled the crimes, Scorsese's film focuses on individual characters and their internal struggles, ultimately centering on the white villains. The article argues that a story about white supremacy and structural violence requires a different approach, one that avoids pulp gestures and celebrity turns, and instead delves into the undramatic but horrifying reality of collective permission, hate, envy, and discrimination.
