18. The Girl Scout Camp Murders

18. The Girl Scout Camp Murders

In the summer of 1977, three young girls are murdered in their tent on the first night at summer camp. The tragic aftermath ended with the closing of the camp never to reopen and left parents wondering if the camp experience was no longer a safe haven for their children. One suspect stands out among several; he is eventually charged for the crime and the outcome is surprising. Sometimes justice comes quickly and in unexpected ways.
