Kristen Chenoweth attends the AFI Awards Luncheon at the Four Seasons Hotel Beverly Wilshire on March 11 in Beverly Hills, California.
Kristen Chenoweth believes the disease may have saved her life as a child.
In the trailer for the documentary series "Keeper of the Ashes: The Oklahoma Girl Scout Murders," the Tony Award-winning actress revealed that she was going on a camping trip during which three of her Girl Scouts friends were sexually assaulted and murdered in 1977.
"It's a story I wish I hadn't told," Chenoweth says in the trailer. "It haunts me every day."
Chenoweth has returned to her home state to participate in the new investigation into the murders of 8-year-old Laurie Lee Farmer, 9-year-old Michelle Heather Goss and 10-year-old Doris Denise Milner at Camp Scott near Locust. Grove, Okla.
In the trailer, the actress explains how much she enjoyed camping as a Girl Scout and how she considered the group members to be her "sisters."
"I never thought anything bad could happen," she says. But I came to find out what murder is.
Police arrested a local man, Jane Leroy Hart, and charged him with the crimes.
According to an article in the St. Petersburg Times, Hart was acquitted of the charges, but returned to prison to continue serving his sentences for rape, kidnapping and robbery based on previous convictions.
He would have died in prison in 1979.
The documentaries will feature an investigation of DNA collected from the crime scene in an effort to definitively identify the killer.
"There is no downtime," Chenoweth says. "There is no beautiful red bow at the end."
"Keeper of the Ashes: The Oklahoma Girl Scout Murders" premieres May 24 on Hulu.
