About this episode

The episode explores the 1977 Oklahoma Girl Scout murders and the ongoing investigation into the case.

The episode recounts the 1977 Oklahoma Girl Scout murders, where three young girls were killed at Camp Scott, and the decades of investigation that followed. While authorities originally targeted Gene Leroy Hart, a local Cherokee man who was later acquitted, the source details alternative theories involving multiple perpetrators. Former Sheriff Paul Smith and researcher Faith Phillips provide evidence suggesting that three or four men were actually involved, citing witness accounts of a specific vehicle and a verbal confession from another suspect. The narrative highlights systemic failures, alleged evidence planting by the original sheriff, and the modern shift in jurisdiction to the Cherokee Nation. Ultimately, the sources describe a persistent quest for truth by community members and the families of Lorie Farmer, Michelle Guse, and Denise Milner. Despite recent DNA testing that remains inconclusive, new task forces continue to seek a final resolution to this notorious cold case.
