On the night of April 11, 1981, the quiet mountain resort town of Keddie, California, became the scene of one of the most brutal and mysterious murders in American history. Four members of the Sharp family—Sue, Johnny, Dana, and twelve-year-old Tina—were victims of a horrific attack that left three dead and one missing. Despite decades of investigation, the case remains officially unsolved, though recent developments have shed new light on the crimes. In this episode, we explore the devastating night that changed everything, the botched investigation that followed, and the ongoing quest for justice that continues to this day.
