Ep. 6 The Unsolved Murders of The Oklahoma Girl Scouts Part 1

Welcome Nerdlings! Today's episode is a dark one. This is part one of our two part series exploring the murders of three young girls who were brutally raped and murdered in the woods of Oklahoma during a girl scout retreat back on June 13th 1977. This is still an unsolved case so we wanted to make sure to give the case it's full dues as it's a heartbreaking one so we decided the best way to do that would be to have this as a two parter. We wanted to make time to discuss who each girl was and show just how heinous this crime was/is. We will release Part two next Sunday 10/18/20.
