Re: Camp Scott Girl Scout Camp - Murders
I had to change my screen name from betrumka to betrumka66 because, I assume, my account had gone inactive.
At any rate I started this thread over 9 years ago, back in in 2004.
I always assumed that someone would have posted some photos of the former Girl Scout Camp, but, although many promised they would, no one apparently ever did.
Here we go...

My understanding is that this was a small shelter over an area where the campers could wash their hands on their way to the dining hall.

Building where the dining hall staff lived during the camp sessions.

The entrance to the former camp, basically as it still looks today -

RE: Camp Scott Girl Scout Camp - Murders
Tent 8 is a really good book by Gloyd McCoy. I have spoken with and met with Mr McCoy a number of times and he is a real gentleman. He is a defense attorney from Oklahoma City.
His book does not take a stand on who actually committed the murders. His book more or less analyzes the trial from the standpoint of a lawyer. That alone is a fascinating study.
As a life long Oklahoman familiar with Oklahoma politics and the political climate in the state his book also gives a lot of insight into what was going on in the state at the time politically and socially. What other crimes of note were committed around the same time. As I remember there is also a good deal of information about the social and political situation between Indians and whites in the late 1970s.
The Wilkersons' book does that too, to a certain extent, but the view point of a seasoned trial attorney like Gloyd is very valuable.
Thanks for your comments about www.girlscoutmurders.com I built that site starting back in 2009 and I really need to do some updating to it. There have been no official developments in the case but there has been some things related to the case and the events that deserve to be documented in some way.

Re: Camp Scott Girl Scout Camp - Murders
Sounds interesting. I have only read a few excerpts of "Cry for the Children" but recall thinking that it could use some insight from somebody who actually knows anything about criminal proceedings. Tent 8 seems like it might fill that gap.

RE: Camp Scott Girl Scout Camp - Murders
I've heard they've pretty much demolished everything and sold it off in lots and people are building houses. Is this true?

The last comment wasn't even a year old, and for this place that's actually kind of recent.

RE: Camp Scott Girl Scout Camp - Murders
This case has really gotten under my skin. Much frustration comes from a lack of accurate, scaled maps of the camp buildings and trails. Reading the transcript of the preliminary testimony, there was only one map in evidence which covered just the Kiowa camp and where the bodies were found. Witnesses were repeatedly asked how far it was from one particular place to another and they would guess distance or the approximate time to walk or run from one point to the other. Asked where a particular building was in relationship to the map they did have, one witness answered"on the floor somewhere". I have seen accounts of a particular distance of interest varying anywhere from 50 feet to 70 yards!
Re: RE: Camp Scott Girl Scout Camp - Murders
I saw the crime scene picture of the covered up bodies. And (with the help of some people who know quite a bit about the site) found and stood in that exact spot.Aerohog wrote: Kiowa camp and where the bodies were found. !
When I was there a few years back, many of the buildings there were being used as hunting cabins and what not. I seriously doubt anything was torn down.
