so innocent in their little tent writing letters to their family it's horrific their tent was covered in blood and there was also evidence that the perpetrator had attempted to clean the blood using sheets from the beds police also found a bloody size nine and a half footprint inside of the tent and in addition to this gruesome scene in tent number eight officers also discover nylon rope duct tape and a red flashlight next to their bodies one of the most peculiar findings though was that they discovered a pair of prescription eyeglasses that someone had stolen from one of the tents within the kiwa campsite as you can imagine after the three girls were discovered and there's clearly a murderer on the loose the camp staff told the remaining girls to pack up their belongings quickly and they sent them home they packed them into the buses and they made their way back to tulsa where their families anxiously awaited their arrival the families had actually yet to learn which girls would not be coming off the buses that morning and obviously i can't even imagine the anxiety filling them as they're waiting there to see if their child gets off of the bus and uh that'd just be so horrible angela the girl who was supposed to stay in the tent with michelle laurie and denise that night actually said that her parents were not told who the deceased girls were and one by one they announced the names and when it was angela's turn to exit the bus she recalls having dropped something and said she didn't hear the staff calling her name the first or second time but after the third time the staff called her name she actually exited the bus to find her mother on her knees sobbing because she thought she wasn't on the bus it also wasn't until the following day when angela saw lori denise and michelle's photo on the front page of the newspaper that she actually told her mom that i was supposed to sleep in their tent that night but luckily i got moved to my troops tent right before all this happened and to this day angela does not know why her life was the only one that was spared the investigators obviously to figure out who did this and figure it out quickly so they started looking into possible suspects their first suspect was jack shroff a local farmer in the region investigators found that some of the materials used in the murder came from his property however police quickly dismissed jack as a suspect after he passed a voluntary lie detector test police determined that the rope and duct tape had been stolen off of his property and used in the murders and despite being entirely cleared of any wrongdoing by police the media continued to go after this guy his face along with the title slayer was printed in the newspaper which the article led readers to believe that jack was the killer jack would later end up being hospitalized after being relentlessly harassed by phone calls and threats after jack was cleared days went by before police announced a new suspect the police decided to bring in a team of three tracking dogs also known as wonder dogs on june NUMBER_TOKENth to help them move forward with the investigation the group promised that these dogs would make a discovery within NUMBER_TOKEN hours the dogs would search for nine days without any luck before a major announcement would break this case wide open on the tenth day of their investigation the mays county district attorney sid wise announced their prime suspect was gene leroy hart jean hart was a NUMBER_TOKEN year old native american cherokee
