Four in a Cabin, Two on a Trail, and Zero Answers

The Keddie Cabin Murders are often described as one of California’s most horrifying unsolved crimes — and for good reason. Four victims. Extreme violence. A crime scene that should have led straight to arrests. Instead, it led to decades of silence.Then there’s Andrea Scherpf and Bernd Göricke. Killed later the same year. Officially “unrelated.” Investigated separately. Filed away.In this episode, we unpack what happened inside Cabin 28, what police did in the crucial early hours, and why the investigation veered off course almost immediately. We also revisit the murders of Andrea and Bernd, and ask the uncomfortable question law enforcement seemed determined not to: what if these cases were never meant to be separated?This is a story about violence, oversight, and the cost of unanswered questions — for victims, families, and a town that never really recovered.​https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keddie_murders​https://www.crimemagazine.com/cold-case-keddie-murders​https://the-line-up.com/keddie-murders-cabin-28​https://lassennews.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/Times04-17-18.pdf​https://www.fbi.gov/history/famous-cases/keddie-cabin-murders​https://www.buzzfeed-unsolved.fandom.com/wiki/The_Disturbing_Murders_at_Keddie_Wikipedia: Murder of Andrea Scherpf and Bernd Görickehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_Andrea_Scherpf_and_Bernd_G%C3%B6ricke WikipediaUCF Unsolved Case File – Andrea Scherpf & Bernd Görickehttps://www.ucfiles.com/Files/1983/andrea-scherpf-and-bernd-goricke/ Unsolved Case Files CanadaThe Trail Went Cold – Episode 311https://www.trailwentcold.com/2023/01/11/the-trail-went-cold-episode-311-bernd-goericke-andrea-scherpf/ Trail Went ColdPodcast on iHeart: Bernd Goericke & Andrea Scherpf Pt.
