In 1977 three Girl Scouts were dragged from their tent in the middle of the night and savagely beaten, raped, and murdered.

This is the story of two men, one a killer, the other a law man, one a fugitive, one a purveyor of justice, one good, one evil. But both these men will use ancient Native American magic and medicine to achieve their goals in the largest manhunt in the history of the South West.

A deep dive into a chilling crime, including a brief history of the Oklahoma Cherokee and their magic, medicine and lore.
