Doris Denise Milner was 10 when she was murdered in the pre-dawn hours of June 13, 1977, at Camp Scott in Mayes County, Oklahoma. She and two other girls, Lori Lee Farmer, 8, and Michele Heather Guse, 9, were found in their sleeping bags on a trail to the camp showers. Investigators determined the girls had been bludgeoned and sexually assaulted; Milner had been bound with rope and duct tape, gagged, and died of combined bludgeoning and strangulation.

Suspicion focused on escaped convict Gene Leroy Hart, who had fled the Mayes County Jail in 1973 where he was serving time for kidnapping and raping two pregnant women. Hart was captured after a ten-month manhunt about 50 miles from the camp and tried for the murders, but a jury acquitted him. He was returned to prison on his earlier convictions and died of a heart attack in 1979 while incarcerated.

In 2022 new DNA testing was released that was officially called inconclusive but reportedly pointed toward Hart while excluding other potential suspects; the Mayes County Sheriff said he was convinced Hart was guilty. The murders remain unsolved in the sense that the community still bears their impact. Does anyone have memories, photos, or information about Camp Scott or the girls that could help shed light on that night?
