This is true. In the Oklahoma foothills of the Ozark known as the Cookson Hills, about 40 minutes east of Tulsa near Locust Grove, Oklahoma was a 400 acre Girl Scout camp called Camp Scott. The scout camp had been in operation since 1928. June 13th 1977 was the last day Camp Scott was open. It closed that afternoon and never reopened. Three very young girls from Tulsa and Broken Arrow, who were a

ll sleeping in the same tent, were murdered on their first night of camp that summer. The girls were bludgeoned, strangled and sexually molested. The victims' bodies were found around 6:10 AM on June 13th by a counselor from the girls' units. The bodies had been carried approximately 100 to 150 yards from their tent. The police looked for, apprehended and arrested Gene Leroy Hart, a local man with a criminal past. Gene Hart was put on trial and was acquitted on March 30th 1979. The case is still officially open and unsolved. There is no active investigation to find the killer.
