Death Tracks ////// 929 Part 1 of 1    www.TrueCrimeGarage.com For some strange reason murder does not seem to live far from the train tracks when it comes to True Crime Garage stories. This week we examine an old unsolved murder case from Oklahoma. This was a case that at one time was thought to be a possible link to the Oklahoma Girls Scout Murders that occurred just a couple of months prior, and just one county over. Some suspected the murder could be a continuation of a horrific triple murder on the tracks in Arizona the year before. There were some very good suspects in this case, and some who were living right by the tracks.    Beer of the Week - Remington Gold, golden ale by MPH Brewing  Garage Grade - 3 and 3 quarter bottle caps out of 5    Upcoming LIVE Events;  Crime Con U.K. October 3 & 4, 2026 in London PROMO code TCG  Cruise Time!!!  Sailing from Fort Lauderdale on the Oasis of the Seas February 8 - 12, 2027 -Get $100 off your stateroom and a private meet and greet with us.
