Three girls – Lori Lee Farmer, 8, Michelle Guse, 9, and Doris Denise Milner, 10 – were found brutally beaten and murdered after they were mysteriously abducted from their tent.
In 1977, buses full of girl scouts arrived at Camp Scott near Tulsa, Oklahoma, hoping for summer fun but the trip turned deadly during the first night.
While the case remains cold, this year has provided new developments in the investigation as well as more interest.
Authorities announced that DNA evidence strongly linked Hart to the murder, ruling out all other possible suspects.
Hart died two years after his acquittal while serving time in prison for previous rape, murder, and kidnapping convictions.
ABC News senior affairs correspondent Deborah Roberts said in a teaser for the show that alternative theories placed investigators at the center of the case.
“Over the years, there have been all kinds of theories,” she said. “There have been suggestions that maybe some of this evidence could have been planted by investigators.”
However, Mayes County Sheriff Mike Reed immediately denied the claims, believing that it was Hart to committed the murders.
“There was a lot of different opinions that was out there when we started looking into the case I was like ‘my gosh this is overwhelming almost’,” he said.
“If I wanted to plant these pictures to put Gene Hart there, because I know they’re his, why in the world wouldn’t I just walk out here anywhere at the camp at the scene and just drop them and just walk off?” Reed added.
He explained that DNA testing proved Hart’s guilt, however, it’s officially been ruled inconclusive.
“All the DNA testing that has been done on the case it excludes every suspect that I’ve ever heard or know of that’s been brought up in this case except for one person,” said Reed.
