On a spring weekend in 1970, a group of boy scouts went camping on a church property in Pennsylvania and spent the weekend having fun and doing typical outdoor activities. But on the morning they were to leave, the scouts would wake up to find on of their own dead in his sleeping bag. Despite two dozen people being at the campsite and everyone sleeping within feet of each other, nobody claims to have seen or heard a single thing. Did an intruder make their way into camp and murder the boy without getting caught? Or was somebody who was on the trip with him responsible?
