Come out with your hands up! After marching the teens through the woods for an extended time, one of the men took Sandra with him in his pickup and left the park. He told her the boys had been shot with tranquilizer guns. The other two men stayed behind and executed the boys. All three men met up at an abandoned house in the country in the early hours of the morning, and Sandra was raped by one of the men. One of the captors eventually dropped her off at her house but first insisted on getting her phone number. A couple test-driving a car discovered the bodies the next morning.

1973 Gitchie Manitou Murders

Sandra reported what had happened to her brother but was hesitant to go to the police as the men had claimed to be police and warned her not to report them. The detectives at the police station did not believe her story. She was read her rights, fingerprinted, and mug shots were taken.

She was given two lie-detector tests. The detectives had a hard time swallowing a story that she was the only one allowed to live. The murderers were three brothers, Allen, David, and James Fryer, all in their 20s and all convicted felons. Most of the firearms they possessed were stolen. The brothers had been hunting pheasants outside of Sioux Falls, SD, that day but had no luck. They met again out at Gitchie Manitou to poach deer. James was on work release from the Sioux Falls jail at the time.

This allowed James several hours to poach deer with his brothers.

When he clocked back into the jail in the early morning, no one at the jail noticed that anything was amiss. When this came to light, the work-release system was furiously reworked. Some readers might wonder why a younger girl was out with four older boys. Can you shed some light on this?

Sandra was dating Roger Essem, one of the boys murdered that night. Sandra had three older brothers and often hung out with them and their friends as her mom worked long shifts as a nurse. Sandra and her brother Bill who planned to go to Gitchie Manitou that night but changed his plans last minute had formed an inseparable bond during their childhood days when they relied on each other to battle challenges that included time in foster homes and a Native American boarding school.

Additionally, Sandra lived outside the small town of Tea, SD. Her closest neighbors were two older girls, and a conversation about them unintentionally left Roger with the impression that she was the same age. The starry-eyed year-old girl never corrected this misunderstanding. A major question surrounding this case is why.

What was the motive for the murders? This is the most curious part of the crime. There have been several motives suggested, but none have been proved. After reading the facts, the readers will have to decide for themselves. One rumor was that it was a drug deal gone bad.

This story may have grown out of the fact that the kids did smoke one marijuana cigarette that night. Another rumor was that Sandra knew the killers. Actually, neither Sandra nor any of the boys had ever had any contact with any of the Fryer brothers. Sandra was actually a part of the team who went out looking for the murderers. She had not lived in the area for long.
