0:00.0	When a mom of five leaves an unhealthy marriage, she resettles in remote Keddy, California with her children, not knowing that their fresh start will soon come to a tragic end.
0:12.1	Evil walks into cabin number 28, and modern-day investigators seek to rectify the mistakes of their predecessors in this episode of Last Seen Alive.
0:44.5	Thanks for listening to Last Seen Alive. I'm your host, Leah, crime analyst by day, and true crime storyteller by night. And as always, I'm your co-host, Scott. The occupants of cabin number 28 at
0:51.2	Kettie Resort were last seen alive on April 11, 1981. There were seven of them
0:57.3	when they went to bed that night in Kettie, California, but when the sun rose in the morning, only three
1:02.4	of them would still be alive. As for the other four, three would be dead, and one would be missing.
1:09.3	The seven people who went to sleep that night in cabin number
1:12.3	28 included 36-year-old Sue Sharp, her 15-year-old son Johnny Sharp, her 12-year-old daughter
1:19.6	Tina Sharp, her 10-year-old son Rick Sharp, and her five-year-old son Greg Sharp. A couple of the kids

1:29.3	which was how 17-year-old Dana Wingate and 12-year-old Justin Smart came to be there.
1:34.9	So it was a very full house, or rather, a full cabin,
1:38.6	but it could have been even fuller if all of Sue's children had been home.
1:43.3	They weren't, though, in addition to the four kids I just
1:45.9	mentioned, Sue had a fifth child, then 14-year-old Sheila. It just so happened that Sheila had gone to a
1:53.3	friend's house to spend the night, so she would miss the rampage that unfolded inside the cabin.
1:59.4	That's not to say she was off the hook, though. She was the one
2:02.8	who discovered the horrific crime scene. Before we get to that, though, let's discuss how Sue and her
2:08.7	five children ended up in Keddy, California in the first place. So you keep saying cabin, and then
2:14.8	you're also talking about them being home. What's the deal with that?
2:19.3	It is a cabin like a cabin in the woods like you would go to stay in at a vacation, but they lived in
2:24.1	it. It was their home. So it's both. And we'll get to that in a moment. But for now, just know that
