Unsolved: The Chilling 1977 Oklahoma Girl Scout Murders - Podcast

Can someone explain to me why this man, who was obviously a hardened criminal…had over 1000 people attend his funeral? Even if he didn’t kill those girls…there were obviously numerous other offenses that he did commit hence his enormously long prison sentence. I just don’t understand why so many people would attend the funeral of someone who raped pregnant women.

[@eveyevolves5530]

Because you’re assuming the general population has any common sense or empathy..

That is so messed up. There are tons of amazing people who don’t get nearly that many people attending their funerals… this is very upsetting.

[@felicitymcconville4322]

My thoughts exactly

[@sparkii_sparxx]

Gene Leroy Hart was seen as a local football hero and was well respected for his heritage in his home town. Unfortunately a lot of people didn't believe he hurt anybody because of his heritage, which is kinda messed up. There's interviews of people saying how they don't believe he'd "hurt those girls" but it was purely out if blind bias. It's messed up but that's the reason so many people attended his funeral. Too many people just didn't want to believe.

[@haleynicolewbu0704]

The notes found saying “kill three girls” on camp grounds makes me think someone who was working at the camp was involved not an outsider.

I thought this they even moved one of the girls out of that tent so it was only 3 girls in there not 4..

[@selmar709]

[@c.anneee]

Yes I think if someone there wasn’t personally involved they either contacted a person/people they knew to come commit the crime.

[@leavemealone5520]

Yup the counselors did it

[@ashleygray4034]

I had the same thought. Did they thoroughly investigate the counselors and other camp staff?? Hope so

[@MK-Hogan]

I come from a family that’s big on camp culture and many of my cousins have been counselors. Camp counselors are literally kids themselves. They’re usually great kids and help out a lot but they should never be ultimately responsible for anything, much less the safety of young kids or dangerous things. Everything should be double checked by adults.

[@KatherineSundgren]

I agree. I don't care if 18 is considered a legal adult, they're still young and are barely an adult yet. There for sure needed to be older adults there to help the counselors.

i’m native and i absolutely despise the fact that Sam Pigeon protected him. prior to colonization our ancestors literally exiled and left to die to the elements or executed people who sexually abused someone. him being protected by a medicine man was not traditional in any sense. what he did to those those pregnant women alone would’ve landed him dead immediately if traditional practices were actually followed. edit as i progress further into the episode. also. stop saying flesh pedestrian. you’re not meant to say their names, it can attract them to you. also different tribes have different beliefs on them, though they aren’t usually believed to be medicine men who can shape shift. they’re actually moreso a metaphor for abusers and predators, and they’re not outside of the four corners. and also, there’s no singular native american culture.

[@joanbowden3448]

I also just commented on the fact that he used "bad medicine" to protect himself. I know a lot of ppl don't believe in that sort of thing, but I'm half Native American & I certainly do believe in it. I remember all the stories my gramma used to tell when I was a kid.

I grew up in the 80s and 90s. When I was 6 I would roam around neighborhoods by myself for hours. My parents just wanted me back by dark. As an older kid I rode my bike miles away, and we didn’t have cell phones to stay in contact. They never knew where I was. By the early 2000s, when I was a young adult, true crime stuff was starting to become popular and only then did my parents start checking in and worrying about me. Times really have changed! We were kind of naive back then.

When I went to girls scout camp in the early 2000’s when I was about 7-9 we had the same set up. All of the campers stayed in cabins alone and the counselors had their own cabin. It always seemed really weird to me and I never wanted to go back lol

[@MileHigher]

That is so strange!

[@laurencullen2997]

I went to Girl Scout camp once. I would’ve been 9 or so. It was a summer boat camp. We camped out in tents. Each group had their own camp area and we had our own tents. The counselors slept elsewhere.

[@debheimler727]

The year after this, I stayed in a CampFireGirls camp in Oklahoma for a 10 day summer camp. The camp site I stayed in was 6 covered wagons. Each wagon slept 6 girls, and the wagon in the middle held the counselors. We had wooden doors that locked, but we were always going to the latrine in the middle of the night. Nothing had changed even after this awful crime.

[@cuurlybangs]

Wow that's scary! I went to camp at the same time but was a little older than you 12/13ish. We had cabins with 4 bunkbeds and a single bed for the counselor that was closest to the door. Our counselors were only 15-20-years-old themselves so I'm not sure what they really could have done for us, but at least they had one in each cabin! There was also a rule that if you needed to go to the bathroom during the night you were supposed to wake someone else up. You were never to walk at night around camp alone. I didn't know it as a kid but this case is probably why!

Its truly horrifying because theres so many things that could happen at a camp no matter how safe. I love when yall cover these infamous girl scout cases because I grew up just hearing the "rumors" about these cases, now I'm understanding why we did alot of these things the way we did.

[@leavemealone5520]

I really believe the counselors are involved

[@taqueriaallen4559]

It just makes sense

[@hey_flannery]

I am torn on whether or not more than one person is involved. On one hand, these are THREE young girls. Surely one may have escaped and sounded the alarm, but at the same time, they're three YOUNG girls.... they were scared, confused, maybe freshly woken up, disoriented, etc. I just am not sold entirely on the idea that one person could've done this and, aside from the counselors, NOBODY heard anything? Not even the girls staying in tent 6/7 (whichever you prefer)?? I don't know. This is awful, and with it being so so so long, I'm not sure these families will see true justice, i.e. someone being arrested & charged- however I desperately hope they get answers at the very least.

[@vaughniebaker2921]

I live around 4 hours from where this happened and I was a Girl Scout at the time. We had a week long camp we were supposed to go to and they almost canceled it because of what happened. They decided to let us go (Lake Pauline at Copper Breaks State Park in Quanah, TX) even though the killer hadn't been caught. They just brought in police to watch over our camp area. I remember the first night we were all afraid. So, we took our shoestrings and tied them on the zipper of the tent (thinking that no one could come in that way). Our ages were 9-11 years old. We didn't know any better. Anyway, later in the night. One of the girls had to go to the latrine. Well, as we were trying to untie the shoestrings. We saw a shadow on the outside of the tent. We were so scared. We whispered to each other that on the count of 3 we would scream real loud for our troop leader. So on the 3rd count we all started screaming and you could see the shadow jump sky high and they dropped their flashlight. It ended up being a police officer who was walking around the tents making sure everything was ok. We laugh about it now, but it was true terror back then. LOL

[@hollid_makeupandreviews]

I am new to Oklahoma. I live in Owasso OK originally from Kansas City MO. This story is very horrifying!! Love your guys Podcasts!

[@haileelogan2031]

Thank you guys for your incredible content ❤️ you guys keep me going with every Mile Higher production!! Also, Miami, OK is pronounced “Miam-uh” instead of “Miam-ee”

[@ericaking0224]

Neat!

[@AARSTILLWATERhomeys]

I was about to comment this lol.

[@MileHigher]

Good to know!

[@kortneywahkinney]

Thank you! born and raised in OK and I was just about to post about Miami pronunciation lol

[@Katieexboo]

Thank you guys for helping me get through my days at work 🙏🏼

[@rosielarson4478]

I always appreciate the care with which you bring these awful cases to our attention. You’re very respectful and gentle in your approach. I also appreciate the respect you two have for each other. You’re obviously very much in love.

[@kclemishire]

This is from my home town. One of the girl’s mothers is a client of mine. A heartbreaking tragedy.

[@katherineeagle3780]

My mother aged out of an orphanage called Whittaker in Pryor,Oklahoma in 1976. I was raised in Coweta,OK which is about 30-40 mins Southwest of Locust Grove. I would always ask to join the Girl Scouts and my mother would always say no and tell me about this case. I of course was naive and thought it was a bizarre story she would tell so she wouldn't have to spend money.I honestly didn't know it was true!! God rest these beautiful girls souls.

[@justynepaige9536]

I’ve never heard of this. How awful, truly breaks my heart for those girls. How can people be so damn cruel 😭 thanks for shedding light on this case. I hope it’s officially solved some day.

[@alexisbighorse9998]

As a Cherokee woman watching this video I have never heard the details you have given and I love your channel!

[@diablocell]

Just finished the video.. thinking back to "you'll never pin it on me".. I think we can all agree that if it wasn't him, he was at least involved in some way. And that the multiple flashlights, etc. meant that he had accomplices, and 'you'll never pin it' on him alone. What a tragic story.. I feel so bad for the families. When I was a boy scout in the 90s every tent had an adult.

[@morgan8274]

Unfortunately all the new information about Boy Scouts doesn’t make that reassuring

[@kristaljessel]

Love how you guys bring attention to alot of different cases! Do yall think you can make another video on beliver vs skeptic before the year ends?! Those are super fun too watch!!

[@mccollmeevie3190]

The whole concept of sending young children to camp for weeks at a time boggles my mind (from Scotland) and to learn a lot of the counselors are teenagers themselves is even more wild.

[@ceetee6939]

Its refreshing to hear stories not commonly talked about but also devastating as helll too

[@CieraMychele]

Looking at that horseshoe tent shape, it surprises me that the counselor tent wasn't in the middle so they could see all the other tests

[@valleriames8824]

I grew up in Flint Creek Oklahoma. Just down the road from dripping springs. I was 11 years old when this happened and remember all the stories that surrounded it. My aunt talks about the tragic event to this day. My family still lives there to this day . Thanks for bringing awareness to it.

[@Idedicatethishandletomycats]

Lori's letter is so cute: "Dear mom and dad and, and, and ..."

[@lindseyhendrix2405]

I loved that part! I’d imagine one was a pet, too. 😂♥️

[@Idedicatethishandletomycats]

@@lindseyhendrix2405 yes, so typical for a child. You could make it easy by writing "hello everyone" or "hello dear family". Everyone has to be included, it's adorable.

[@cassieg9800]

I'm just having such a shitty morning. Seeing that you guys posted this just made my day. I love you both!! 🥰🥰🥰

[@hartleyb8356]

Hope your day gets better!

[@clairerose6907]

What happened? You ok? Me too… I spiraled out of control and am calming down from that.

[@s.gentle5156]

Sending love and light to you ladies! To everyone! ♥️

[@paigepowell3338]

I’m so glad you were able to report on this. I’m from Tulsa myself and this is one of the cases that made me interested in true crime.

[@kfb141]

I grew up in Oklahoma. I've been to that camp several times and stayed in those tents. I remember getting up alone in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom. I was never scared but I guess I should have been. I was 18 when this happened, it has haunted ever since.

[@thryssinstitches9655]

I'm from Oklahoma and was born in 84. This case is why I wasn't allowed to do overnight camps bc my mom wasn't convinced the killer had been found

[@feyrannahunter1062]

I wasn't born until a few years after this but very close to Locust Grove and I wasn't allowed to be in scouts at all because of it.

[@strategic1710]

I’m from Tulsa and was born in 84 also. It floors me that I’ve never heard of this or had never heard of the family murder in broken arrow. I went to a camp but there were bigger tents and a counselor in each one.

[@jenniferwilson3436]

When I was in girl scouts in Florida, we were required to stay at a Girl Scout Camp, and all of them had cabins with bunk beds in them with locks on them. I wonder if this caused this? There was one campsite that had tents similar to the ones shown in this video, but all sites were visible to our troop leaders. The camp also had a security at the main entrance. This case is so tragic!!

[@chestex.]

Currently watching this as I am feeding my best friends son. As soon as he hears Josh’s voice he starts giggling and smiling. 😍

[@AmandaLeigh1004]

How does a jury only deliberate for 5 minutes?! Is that even legal??

[@ArtZen111]

Omg they were poisoned in the head

[@jessicayoung6208]

This case is so sad. Thank you for talking about cold cases. These girls should always be remembered.

[@jaz_elizabeth]

I think this is the first episode that made me cry. I lost it at the letters just thinking how heartbreaking that would be as the parents. If I had children I’ve always wanted to send them to camp because I’ve never been but with everything else, you just never know.

[@shainariker73]

This is so crazy! I’m from this area and did not know about this, my dad grew up in locust grove and my mom and grandparents live in Chouteau. I’m so glad you are bringing awareness I will definitely check out the documentary!

[@rosemead4310]

When you hear of a Girl Scout camp, you associate it with sweet little girls, fun and laughter.. you wouldn’t imagine such horror could be possible in these places.. this made me sob and my heart breaks for them🥺💔

[@lindsay33333]

You guys are the best. Even the companies you guys have for promotions just seem practical for the working group of people today. Thanks guys keeps up the great work!

[@katrina2229]

Can’t wait to watch this on this dreary rainy morning! Also will you guys be restocking the tie dye MHP shirts in the merch shop? Adding stuff to my Christmas list and missed out on the first drop!!

[@JB-cb7dx]

I was JUST thinking about this case. As someone who went to Girl Scout camp often growing up it has really stuck with me. So tragic.

[@hardysqueen1]

I'm an empath with horrible anxiety and I think Denise and her family had an idea of what was gonna happen. I don't blame anyone but I wish they were taken seriously

[@draculena]

>.>

[@mareike8589]

My friend and I used to go to camp every summer until we found out that a girl was raped at the same camp we were at- never went again. This case is incredibly sad and I hope the bastard who did it got his karma even if it wasn't by police

[@xtcharmed]

i get so much serotonin when josh says “aye whats up everybody” makes me so excited lmaooo!!!

[@Duchessinok]

Thank you for covering this. I remember when this happened. I was 7 and lived in Oklahoma City at the time. It was a really frightening time and it's always been heartbreaking.

[@madisonruth0410]

Yayyyy perfect timing while I'm slow at work thanks you guys

[@marjolainechoquette]

Omg! I was just watching an old ponder vid! I've never been that early. Ready to clean and listen to you guys. Xx

[@audreylalumiere6142]

so very sad! I can't imagine what all those moms and dads went through in that brutal time! As a mother myself I wouldnt want to live without knowing what happend. Thanks for sharing this story I never heard about this one before .

[@ShaunaWest-Punky]

I am in tears 😭 right now!! Especially hearing how the parents were waiting for the girls to exit from the school bus!! 💔 I’m a mother and this breaks my heart to shreds 😢

[@honeydew_subliminal]

It was a very cruel way to announce which girls died

[@heatherkeegan3148]

Where did Michelle’s parents work? The other two girls had parents working at the hospital… doris’s mom was a hospital lab tech and laurie’s dad was the hospital ER coordinator… could there be a connection with the hospital to the murders? Maybe a patient had something overlooked or a family member had something overlooked and died or was seriously injured bc of it… just a thought… I’m still listening I’m not even 1/4 if the way through but it was the first connection I thought about…

[@dianaselnekovicova948]

Interesting point
