《(Real) Unsolved Mysteries》oklahoma girl scout murders
Advertisement
The bare-bone facts would be disturbing enough on their own: in June 1977, three girl scouts—ages 8, 9, and 10—sharing the most remote tent at summer camp were found raped and brutally murdered. It's the stuff of nightmares and horror movies. But the story got even worse.
Prior to the murders, Camp Scott in Locust Grove, Oklahoma—40 miles from Tulsa—had been operating for 49 years. June 12, 1977 was its opening day that year; the morning after that first night, the bodies of Lori Lee Farmer, Doris Denise Milner, and Michele Guse were found by a terrified counselor who'd carefully checked the camp after being awakened by a strange sound in the middle of the night. Too late, she realized what she had probably overheard. The crime scene spoke volumes.
"Tape, rope, a gag, and a flashlight were collected from the victims and the scene. On inspection of the tent, it was determined that Guse and Farmer had been struck and killed in the tent and that Milner had been taken into the woods and then killed. Blood on the wooden floor was wiped by the killer with mattress covers and towels in an unsuccessful attempt to rid the floor of it. The bloody materials were then stuffed in the sleeping bags."
The camp was swiftly evacuated, and understandably, never re-opened.
Evidence led investigators to a suspect who seemed extremely viable at the time, as a Fort Smith, Arkansas (just across the Oklahoma border) TV news station recalled in 2014:
"Less than a year later, 34-year-old Gene Leroy Hart was arrested and charged with murdering and sexually assaulting Lori Lee Farmer, 8, Michele Guse, 9, and Doris Denise
Milner, 10, investigators said.
In 1979, Hart faced a jury trial, but was acquitted. A police report states hart returned to prison to serve more than 300 years on a previous sentence for kidnapping and raping two pregnant women. He had escaped custody in connection with that case prior to the killings. Sixty-six days after his return to prison, Hart died of a heart attack, the report states.

"Some people believe he did it, and some believe he did not do it," said Meredith Frailey, a local woman. "This divided families and our community as a whole."
During the girls' homicide investigation, agents worked hundreds of leads, most of which led to Hart, a police report states.
In the years since the triple slaying, evidence has been re-tested more than once using the latest available technology. The most recent instance of this, in 2007, yielded no new information—and with this 2008 report from News OK, it seems the case may never be solved through forensic testing, because simply too much time has passed.
"Testing of evidence from the 1977 Locust Grove girl scout slayings proved inconclusive, district attorney Gene Haynes said today ... Haynes said crime scene evidence was too deteriorated to obtain a DNA profile.
"If the tests had been successful, the DNA profile could have been compared to the known DNA profiles of suspects, and entered into DNA databases for possible matches," Haynes said."

8 128A Fragmented Mind
"Hi there. My name is Richard Maddox, but my — admittedly nonexistent — friends call me Rick. I live in a world of superheroes and villains. A world filled with magic and physics-defying powers, and in this world, I'm just an ordinary, completely average 17-year-old boy. My imaginary friends, however, are as far from average as you get. You think you're good at deluding yourself? Well, stand back, because it's time for a master to show you his craft. Welcome to my life, the life of a madman." This story was originally inspired by the 'Legion' novella series written by Brandon Sanderson. If you've read those books and liked them, it might be worth giving this a read. The same goes if you haven't read them either, I guess. (Currently re-writing earlier chapters)

There is a place in the far off reaches of space. It is a lonely place in the barest portion at the edge of the universe. There are no stars or other planets for light-years. A region few have ever wanted to visit and fewer still actually have. If you were to visit you'd find and small rip in space-time leading to the most bizarre and out of place thing you have ever seen. A solar system consisting of five planets, all with life, all stuck in conflict, and all absolutely bursting with energy. For some it seems like a paradise. A land of sword and sorcery? Why would anyone pass that up? That was the thought process of the freshly dead boy. This boy, like many before him and many after him, was trying to find the bright side. Things had finally been going right for him, good grades, new friends, and best of all a girlfriend when the entire world ended. No huff, no puff, just poof the end. At least being reborn into this world would be fun. That definitely sounded like a bright side to most. Fracture, one of the five worlds in question, was massive and full of magic. It looked sounded and felt like it would be just another game, it even had prompts and levels. Piece of cake. Well that might be the case if Fracture was meant to be a paradise. The hottest fires forge the strongest swords. This fire has the habit of melting away oneself. A pixie clan searching for a new home, a boy who just lost his, a reality bending forest, and a bug that doesn't belong. All with an intense desire for power. Who will make it through the fire intact, and will they choose to be a hero, or will they join the long history of villains and monsters?
8 266Soten (Book I in The Saga of Mira the Godless)
Anyone on the Isle will say Lady Mira caused the Twenty Years' War. While they're at it, they'll call her a witch, a whore, or a heathen, maybe all three in the same breath. Soten is Mira's version of the story. Captive in a Northern village, Mira expects brutality from the rough climate and harsh Northerners. Instead, she discovers a land where people speak their thoughts out loud, where women are free to be with any they desire, and those who divine messages from the gods are listened to, not burnt at the stake. Mira's idyllic new life is threatened when she hears of her brother's growing army to the south; she doesn't need rescuing; she's far too attached to the life she's building (and the lighthearted raider who is quickly becoming a central part of it). Then she meets Arik, the enigmatic Norsern king, a man who has drastic plans for next season's raids, plans that involve the sister of a great southern commander. To Mira, this is a story about love. To the rest of the world, it is a story about war. Book II: KAKEN coming soon!
