Hi, Crime Junkies. I'm Ashley Flowers. And I'm Britt. And I am going to warn you all up front.

Today's podcast is going to be a little rough. Anytime we talk about crimes against children,

it is especially hard. And this case is one of those that will just tear your heart into pieces.

So brace yourself because today we are talking about the Oklahoma Girl Scout murders.

Back in 1977, there was a thriving 400-acre camp called Camp Scott in May's county, Oklahoma,

smack dab in the middle of the U.S. This camp is one that young girls flock to from all over the

state. And when I say young, I'm talking like 8, 9, 10, 11-year-old girls. Yeah, some of them going

away from home for the first time ever. In the summer of 1977, camp took place in June. And all the

campers would get dropped off at the camp Scott headquarters. And then they would get bust out

to the campsite where they could spend time in their cabins or tents depending on what you want to

call them. And in the mess halls, playing outdoors, just like young kids should. But as they drove the

bust down these long desolate roads, seeing sign after sign of what was to come, I don't think

any camper or any counselor could have prepared themselves for what would happen in the next 24 hours.

Once they arrived on site, the campers would get split up into cabins, usually four girls to each.

At this specific site, which is called Kayawa, where this story is centered, there were eight cabins.

Cabin one was for the counselors and cabins two through eight were for the campers. That's why if

you have done any research on this case online, you'll often see it say that the girls of our

story were in cabin eight. Some say they were in cabin seven. So technically they were in cabin eight,

but only two through eight were for the campers. So sometimes people say it was seven.

Now, I have a map of this bread that I can share with you and we're also posted on the website,

so you can kind of get an idea of where these cabins were. Okay, so this is just kind of the

arrangement of this, I'm sure, clearing a land where everything is, right? Right. So you'll notice
