However, most still considered it a safe enough community to at least raise a family. It was the type of place where you could leave your door unlocked at night without fear of intruders, and everyone had their fair share of secrets and hidden pasts, but they weren't looking to disturb their newfound peace. There were whispers of drug dealings and a small theft here and there, but mostly minor crimes. That is, until April 1981, when three members of the Sharp family and a family friend turned up dead in Cabin 28 - a quadruple homicide that, as of 2016, has gone unsolved for 35 years.|Cayleigh Elise, ''Dark Matters #6: The Keddie Cabin Massacre''}} The '''Keddie Cabin murders''', also called the '''Keddie murders''', the '''Keddie Cabin Massacre''', and the '''Cabin 28 murders''', were a quadruple homicide that occurred on the night of April 11 - 12, 1981, at the Keddie resort in California, United States. An intruder or intruders broke into cabin #28 of the Keddie resort and restrained three of the victims - John Sharp, Sue Sharp and Dana Wingate - and savagely beat and stabbed them to death. A fourth victim, Tina Sharp, was abducted and remained a missing person until April 1984, when her remains were found in Butte County. The killer or killers have never been identified.
