On the morning of April 12, 1981, Sheila Sharp, a 14-year-old girl, returned to her family's cabin, Cabin 28, after spending the night at a friend's house. She discovered the gruesome scene: Her mother, Glenna "Sue" Sharp, her brother John Sharp, and John's friend Dana Wingate were no more. They had been brutalized. Sheila’s two younger brothers, Rick and Greg, and their friend, Justin Smartt, were found unharmed in a nearby bedroom. Sheila's younger sister, Tina Sharp, was missing. The crime scene was chaotic, with clear signs of a violent struggle. The evidence seemed to suggest the perpetrators had attempted to clean up the crime scene. The investigation faced several challenges, including a lack of immediate leads and potential contamination of the crime scene. Over the years, multiple theories and suspects have been considered. One prominent theory involved two local men, Martin Smartt and his friend John "Bo" Boubede. Both had dubious alibis and exhibited suspicious behavior, but there was insufficient evidence to charge them at the time.
In 1984, three years after the murders, the remains of Tina Sharp were discovered near Feather Falls in Butte County, approximately 50 miles from Keddie. This discovery added another layer of mystery to the case. The case remained cold for decades, but renewed interest in the early 2000s led to re-examination of the evidence. Modern forensic techniques, such as DNA analysis, were applied, and some new potential evidence was uncovered. However, as of now, no definitive conclusions have been reached, and the case officially remains unsolved. The Keddie Cabin 28 murders remain one of California's most infamous unsolved true crime cases, shrouded in mystery and speculation. The brutality of the crime and the subsequent disappearance and discovery of Tina Sharp have kept public and investigative interest alive for over four decades.
