People Magazine Investigates will return for its seventh season in July with a “captivating” new lineup of true crime mysteries, including a two-hour premiere on the brutal 1977 murders of three Oklahoma girl scouts attacked at summer camp.

The new season debuts Monday, July 10 at 9/8 CT on Investigation Discovery.

The "chilling" premiere "delves into the 1977 brutal assault and murder of three Oklahoma Girl Scouts away at summer camp: Lori Lee Farmer, Doris Denise Milner and Michele Heather Guse," the network says in a press release.

"The case dominated national headlines for more than a year as law enforcement scrambled to find answers," the press release continues. "PEOPLE’s reporting team takes viewers through the twists and turns of this case, from how local authorities zeroed in on a suspect (a prison escapee with a dangerous past), the all encompassing manhunt to track him down and the subsequent trial that led to heartbreak for the victims’ families and many unanswered questions."

The episode will feature "an exclusive emotional, new interview with Lori Lee Farmer’s parents and siblings, as well as testimony from jurors on the trial and experts close to the case," the network says.

The new season also includes episodes on the I-70 killer, the disappearance of Mark Himebaugh and exclusive new details surrounding the mysterious search for Karlie Gusé, who has been missing since 2018.
