Sirens | A Southern True Crime Podcast

Ada, Oklahoma - 1909. Just 2 years after Statehood, the world saw a postcard with western actors, but Adans looked on as one of the last surviving gangs of the Wild West had it out with a prominent law man. Join Raven and Holly as they discuss a dark cloud over their hometown of Ada, Oklahoma and they mystery of its early vigilantism.

In the early hours of April 19, 1909, a vigilante mob in Ada, Oklahoma, took justice into their own hands by lynching four men—Jim Miller, Jesse West, Joe Allen, and Berry B. Burell (possibly Burwell)—who were accused of murdering local rancher Gus Bobbitt. The mob, consisting of about 40 men, cut the power to the town, overpowered the jailers, and hanged the accused in a livery stable. This act was driven by the community’s frustration with the legal system and their desire to curb rampant crime in the town.
