Episode notes

On the morning of Sunday, June 12, 1977, over a hundred young girls and their families gathered at the Girl Scout headquarters in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Everyone was saying their goodbyes as the girls loaded onto their buses and headed for Camp Scott, just about an hour away in Mayes County, Oklahoma. The Girl Scout camp promised two weeks of adventure, swimming, horseback riding, crafts, and hiking. Some of the girls were excited for their trip, while others were nervous about spending 14 days away from their families. However, within 24 hours, the girls would be back on the buses heading back to Tulsa, with no explanation as to why. Three girls, 8-year-old Lori Farmer, 9-year-old Michelle Guse, and 10-year-old Denise Milner had been found dead that morning, laying in the woods about 100 feet from their tent. There was clear evidence of foul play. Almost 2 years later, after the largest manhunt in Oklahoma history, a man was arrested and charged with their murders. However, much of the community was not convinced that this was the man behind the massacre. The trial turned the courtroom and the community into a circus and seemed to forget about the most important question: Who killed Lori, Michelle, and Denise?
