John Russell, who is the writer and director of the film, said he has the blessing of two of the three girls’ families on the project but no cooperation from law enforcement or the court system because “we’re going to name the actual killer, and it’s going to be an embarrassment to many people.

“We’re trying to put to bed the information that’s been out there for 34 years. We’re going to show who it was and that it was not Gene Hart. The person who fit the (crime) perfectly has never been investigated, and I think that people protected that person,” he said.

On June 13, 1977, three girls were found dead at Camp Scott near Locust Grove: 8-year-old Lori Farmer, of Tulsa; 9-year-old Michelle Guse, of Broken Arrow; and 10-year-old Doris Milner, of Tulsa.

Gene Leroy Hart had been suspected of the killings but was acquitted in 1979. He died three months later of a heart attack while serving a prison term on unrelated charges.
