Whether they entered the home with the murders actively in progress or became aware of intruders after hearing a disturbance upstairs is unknown. They returned home to Cabin 28 later that night, presumably retiring to John’s basement bedroom.

The pair was last seen walking along State Route 70. Sue’s oldest son John had spent the day in the town of Quincy with his friend Dana Wingate. Tina, Sue’s youngest daughter, returned home around 10 o’clock, after an evening of watching television with the neighbors in Cabin 27. On the night of the murders, Sue was at home while her two youngest sons, Rick and Greg, and their friend Justin Smartt played in an adjacent room. Finding a new support system would be important as she restarted her life, even if it meant renting a cabin in a rundown resort in a rural area.įive months later, the Sharps had found a semblance of community in their new home, with the children having made friends amongst the other residents of the Keddie cabins. Newly alone, and with five children to raise, Sue chose Keddie in part because her brother, Don, lived nearby. The family had moved from Connecticut after Sue separated from her husband, James.

Glenna Sharp, who went by the name Sue, had been renting Cabin 28 in the tiny community of Keddie, California since November of 1980. Yet the case is made all the more unsettling by the fact that it remains unsolved nearly four decades later, leading some to suspect a police cover-up. The slayings, which would soon become known as the Keddie Cabin Murders, were chilling enough. A fourth victim, a 12-year-old daughter, vanished in the night–her remains found years later and miles away. On the night of April 11, 1981, three people-a mother, her adolescent son, and the son’s friend-were bludgeoned to death in a California cabin, all while children slept soundly in an adjacent room.
