The Gitchie Manitou Murders

Five teenage friends went out to Gitchie Manitou State Preserve one night in November of 1973 for a fun night of music around a campfire. Sadly, only 1 of them returned home. After being approached by 3 men claiming to be police officers, 4 of them were gunned down for no reason. The sole survivor fought bravely and was able to obtain justice for her 4 friends. Join us in the closet this week for the case of The Gitchie Manitou Murders.
