A Simpler Time True Crime
My name is Megan and each week on A Simpler Time True Crime, I cover older, unsolved cases and challenge our misplaced nostalgia for a time that has passed. Afterall, does a simpler time really mean it was a safer time?
A Simpler Time True Crime
The Boy Scout Campout Murder: The Case of Terrence Bowers Jr.
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?
