'Killers of the Flower Moon' is shining the spotlight on this small town and its painful history...

Now that "Killers of the Flower Moon" is becoming a blockbuster movie, the community where many of the murders took place is wrestling with how to open up about its past.
Carol Conner knows downtown Fairfax like the back of her hand.

Her town only has 1,100 people who live there. So a few years ago, it really started catching her attention when she would see cars parked in front of the historic Tallchief Theater.

"So I would be driving down our main street, which is mostly vacant of cars, and there would be a Volvo or a Lexus. And most people here drive ranch trucks or other non luxury vehicles," Conner said.

Carol is a little extroverted, so she had no problem asking the people inside these cars where they were from.

"So I would pull up next to them and say ‘What are you doing here? Did you read the book?’ And they would say, ‘How did you know that?’ Well, duh. There's no one else on the street and you're in a Lexus from Minnesota," Conner laughed.
