Cabin 28: The Keddie Murders

What this episode covers

Hey y’all, it’s Julie Mattson, and in this week’s episode of Pushing Up Lilies, I’m taking you into one of California’s most haunting cold cases, the Keddie murders. Over the night of April 11–12, 1981, four people were brutally killed inside a quiet mountain cabin in Keddie, California. Decades later, the case remains unsolved, leaving behind unanswered questions, lost evidence, and families still searching for justice. In this episode, I walk you through what we know about that night, the disturbing crime scene details, and the investigative missteps that may have cost this case its chance at resolution. I also share my perspective as a forensic nurse death investigator, looking at how cases like this impact communities, why cold cases matter, and what it means when silence lingers for over forty years. This is a heavy one, but it’s an important story that deserves to be remembered. If you love true crime with a forensic lens, join me, and as always, thank you for listening, sharing, and helping keep these stories alive.
