UNSOLVED MURDERS: The Oklahoma Girl Scouts

Floodlights

When three young girls are brutally murdered in 1977 at girl scout camp, law enforcement set their sights on one person from the beginning: a Cherokee man called Gene Leroy Hart. At the centre of this story is, of course, the three victims: Lori Lee Farmer, Doris Denise Milner and Michele Heather Guse. These girls are still waiting for justice.

But what many people still ask, all these years later, is how exactly did law enforcement come upon Gene? And did his Native American heritage, along with his criminal past, play a fair role in the investigation?
