The famous Girl Scout murders has been one of the most tragic events in our local area. In 1977, three beautiful little girls were murdered in Locust Grove, OK at the Girl Scout camp, Camp Scott. Many believed that L. G. Hart was responsible for their deaths but for every one person that believes that, there is one that doesn't.
Along with rumors that Hart was the target of a local law enforcement because he was an escaped convict and had actually escaped from the local County jail in the past, there were many local citizens that came forward with stories of sexual abuse by at least one other local that lived near the gates of the camp.
Hart was arrested and tried for the crime but was found "not guilty" and so the case remains unsolved. Hart was returned to jail and within weeks died a sudden death.
There are so many chilling facts to this case and even more theories that have yet to be explored.
