The Strangers vs. The Keddie Cabin Murders | The Unsolved 1981 Case That Still Has No Answer

from The Fear Archive · host Violet Hour Media

The Fear Archive examines the Keddie Cabin murders — one of the most disturbing unsolved cases in California history — and how that atmosphere of random, senseless violence found its way into The Strangers. On the night of April 11, 1981, three people were murdered inside Cabin 28 in the small Sierra Nevada community of Keddie, California. Sue Sharp, her teenage son John, and his friend Dana Wingate were killed with knives, a hammer, and rope. Sue's 12-year-old daughter Tina was abducted and never found alive. No arrests. No convictions. No answers. The Strangers is a film about random violence — strangers who choose a house and will not stop. Tonight Amanda and Mike examine what the film understands about terror, and what the Keddie case understood first. Hosted by Amanda Kagiwada and Michael Ryan Assip. Executive produced by Cassie Jozefov. A Violet Hour Media production.
