This week Beth and Wendy discuss The Girl Scout Murders. On June 13, 1977, at Camp Scott in Oklahoma, three young Girl Scouts were brutally assaulted and murdered in their tent. A local man was arrested and tried, but acquitted due to lack of conclusive evidence. The case remains officially unsolved.
This episode was researched & scripted by Wendy & Beth Williams and edited by Minnie Williams.
