Someone Cry for the Children

I have been looking for this book for years. When this crime happened it was shocking. The book describes it just the way I remember it. The author explained it in great detail. He was very accurate in his descriptions. I heard this book is very rare. I feel privileged to own it. The book is a great insight into a sad and unsolved crime.

Completely overwhelming...

I wasn't born when this happened, but had a grandfather who was part of the Oklahoma Highway Patrol's search party. This book was very informative, disturbing, and intense. I have also watch the documentary on this book and can't help but feel so very terrible for the families of those babies, and that they got the right man. Great Book!

3 beautiful girls were murdered

This book & the movie will make you cry. Three beautiful little girls were at girl scout camp & some @#$%^ & * man raped & killed all of them. He broke into their tent & killed them. They were just babies, sleeping in their tent at the girl scout camp. Because the killer was famous and an Indian he was found not guilty but a Indian leader said that if he was guilty he would pay & a year later he died of a heart attack. He was not old.

Someone Cry for the Children

I am a professional Girl Scout and want to be a director of a Girl Scout camp. I read this book and was in disbelief that this could happen. I was not born yet when this story took place and had only recently heard of the case when I purchased the book. It helped me see the responsibility camp counselors have.

very awesome if you are a girlscout from oklahoma!

When I was a small girl growing up in Oklahoma I wanted to be like my grandfatherwho was osbi(he thought gene leroy hart was innocent) I was also a girl scout and thought this book was a thrill ride for myself and loved it enough to read it several times....A+
