Seek Scout Slayer Suspect In Massive Hunt Locust Grove Okla
Two SWAT teams entered the Locust Grove woods as part of a statewide manhunt for Gene Leroy Hart accused in the June 13 deaths of three Girl Scouts at Camp Scott.

Hart, a convicted felon with a history of escape, had been linked to the case through old photographs and ongoing investigations.
