According to People, Chenoweth revealed the terrifying childhood memory in a trailer for the ABC News Studio documentary Keeper of the Ashes: The Oklahoma Girl Scout Murders, which was released on Monday, May 16.

Chenoweth said in the trailer, “This is a story I wish I didn’t have to tell.” Every day, it haunts me. But this story has to be told.”

“I remember I should have been on that trip, but I got sick, and mom said, ‘You can’t go,'” she continued. It has stayed with me my entire life. I was almost one of them.”

Chenoweth went on to say that she decided to return to her hometown in order to find answers, saying, “When I think of those three girls, I wonder what’s the best way to honour them.” That’s why I’d returned home, to finally find answers. ”

Hulu will premiere a four-part series about the heartbreaking murders of Lori Lee Farmer, Michele Heather Guse, and Doris Denise Milner on May 24.

The three girls, aged 8 to 10, were murdered in June 1977 while on a Girls Scout trip to Camp Scott.
