However, he was acquitted when he stood trial for the crime.



Monday, June 13, 1977, was the first day of camp. At around 7 p.m. the night before, a thunderstorm hit the area, and the girls huddled in their tents. Among them were Lori Lee Farmer, 8, Doris Denise Milner, 10, and Michelle Heather Guse, 9.

The girls were residents of Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, a suburb of Tulsa. They were sharing tent #8 in the camp's "Kiowa" unit which was located furthest from the Camp Counselor's tent,3 and partially obscured by the showers for the camp.

Later that morning, at around 6 a.m., a camp counselor on her way to the shower found a girl's body in her sleeping bag in the forest. It was soon discovered that all three girls in tent #8 had been killed.

Their bodies had been left on a trail leading to the showers, about 150 yards from their tent at summer camp. Subsequent testing showed that they had been raped, bludgeoned, and strangled.
