Episode 9: The Keddie Cabin Murders

In this episode we will try and recount the events of a triple homicide that occurred on the night of April 11, 1981 at the foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains in a California town. A mother, her 15 year old son, and his friend were bound, bludgeoned, and stabbed to death all while two siblings and the son of a family friend slept quietly in the house. When a neighbor is sent to check out the scene he peers through a bedroom window and finds three unharmed adolescent boys. He ushers them through a window sparing them from the grotesque scene beyond the bedroom. Upon further inspection of the scene investigators will find that there is someone missing from the house, the fifth child of the murdered woman, a 12 year old girl. She is nowhere to be found.

The slaying of the family members in cabin #28 comes to be known as the Keddie Murders and remains unsolved to this day. With its various twists and turns it has gained a following within the true crime community and, like most unsolved crimes, each suspect or possible scenario has its following of armchair sleuths confirming this is what happened on that Spring night. So like always let’s lay out the facts and talk about possible scenarios and theories.
