Thirty years since Camp Scott Girl Scouts murders

Until last year, I had never heard of the Oklahoma 1977 'Girl Scout camp murders.' But after coming across an eerie site on the web (which I can no longer find) detailing this horrific and disturbing tale of how three Girl Scouts were murdered in their tents 30 years ago this week at the now-abandoned Camp Scott near the Mayes County town of Locust Grove.

Well, the Oklahoman's Ron Jackson just did a front-page story on this case for today's edition, mostly focusing on the family of victim Lori Lee Farmer, whose folks still live in Tulsa.

Read the Oklahoman story here.

And see the images from the overgrown and abandoned camp site along with Jackson's commentary here.

It gives me a creepy, 'Blair Witch Project' sort of feeling when I read or think about it. And to think that it's never been solved ...

Great to see another Okie blogger. We'll have to meet up sometime and maybe record a podcast together.
