Was Anna pregnant in Killers of the Flower Moon?

If you have read the book Killers of the Flower Moon by David Grann, you might be wondering about the fate of one of the characters: Anna Brown. Anna was the older sister of Mollie Burkhart, an Osage woman who survived a series of murders that targeted her family and tribe in the 1920s.

Anna was not so lucky. She was found shot in the head near a creek in May of 1921, one of the first victims of the Osage Reign of Terror. But was Anna pregnant when she died?

This is a question that has been raised by some readers and critics, especially after the announcement of a movie adaptation of the book starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Robert De Niro.

The movie, directed by Martin Scorsese, will feature Cara Jade Myers as Anna Brown. Some have speculated that Anna’s pregnancy might be a plot point in the film, or that it might have been a motive for her murder.

However, there is no evidence in the book or in the historical records that Anna was pregnant at the time of her death. Grann does not mention anything about Anna’s pregnancy in his book, nor does he cite any sources that suggest it. He describes Anna as a “fun-loving, fast-drinking divorcee” who had several lovers.

He also notes that she had been married twice before, but had no children. Therefore, based on the available information, we can conclude that Anna was not pregnant when she was killed.

Anna’s murder was part of a larger conspiracy to eliminate the Osage people and take their oil wealth, orchestrated by William K. Hale and his associates.
