Cook-out at Camp Vicki 48" x 84" Oil

A group of well armed agents are huddled around a campfire having a weenie roast and appear to be toasting a black helicopter which is preparing to drop fuel oil on the cabin in the distance. Snipers can be seen on the left and right. A card game is in progress under the barrel of a tank’s cannon. The family dog (which was the first fatality) can be seen smashed flat in the roadway after being run over repeatedly by tanks and armored personnel carriers. A sign on a stake designates the area as Camp Vicki.

In August of 1992, approximately 500 agents from many law enforcement agencies surrounded an Idaho family home. Before this 11-day siege ended, a mother and her 14-year old son were dead along with an agent of the U.S. Marshall’s Service.
