The new ABC/Hulu docuseries 'Keeper of the Ashes' examines the June 1977 murders of three Oklahoma Girl Scouts—and the ensuing media circus. So... why is Kristen Chenoweth singing?

is another non-fiction TV venture that could have been halved without suffering any appreciable loss, beginning with Chenoweth and extending to a bevy of melodramatic slow-motion sequences and various interviews that rehash the same token talking points in slightly different fashion. This is a shame, given that there’s a real mystery at the heart of director Remy Weber’s series: that of the 1977 slaying of Lori, Denise, and Michele, three girls who shared a bunk at Camp Scout.

heard strange noises nearby and checked them out, but she couldn’t determine their source. The next morning, however, she made a grisly discovery: at the foot of a tree lay Denise, who’d been raped and strangled. In sleeping bags beside her were Lori and Michele, both victims of a fatal bludgeoning.Cops quickly descended on the scene, encountering a horror show the likes of which few had ever seen.

Hart’s ensuing prosecution is referred to here as “O.J. before the O.J. trial,” due to both the media’s voracious coverage of the event and the way in which it split the community between those who thought Hart guilty and the many—both Native American and Caucasian—who had known him since his youthful days as a high school football star and staunchly believed in his innocence.

Ultimately, none of those missteps are as egregious as Chenoweth’s own participation. The acclaimed actress waxes rhapsodic about her Oklahoma childhood, repeatedly states that she’s never shaken the memory of this infamous crime , and—in a diversion that has no connection to this true-crime narrative—visits the local Kristen Chenoweth Theater in order to speak with doting students.

It's a musical? Only musicals can get an audience.

It’s Camp Scott, not “Camp Scout”.
