There are places in this world that look like safety, places that feel like a fresh start. Sue Sharp had moved her five children here from Connecticut. She was 36 years old. She was starting over. Cabin 28 was going to be different. On the morning of April 12th, 1981, [music] Sheila Sharp came home. Her mother bound and beaten, her brother [music] John stabbed, his friend Dana strangled. Her 12-year-old sister Tina was simply gone. In the next room, three young boys had slept [music] through the entire night. Police arrived. The case was handed to the Plumas County Sheriff's Department. The weapons told a story of rage. This was not random. This was personal. Next door, in Cabin 26, lived Martin Smart. Sue had been telling his wife to leave him. Smart wrote his wife [music] a letter. "I've paid the price of your love, and now I've bought it with four people's lives." I was told the suspects were told to get out of town. [music] To me, that means it was covered up. Three years later, 60 miles from Keddie, [music] a bottle collector found a human skull in the woods. It was Tina. In 2016, a hammer was pulled from a pond. It matched the one missing from Martin Smart's home. The cabin was demolished in 2004. Sue Sharp came to Keddie for a fresh start. She never got one. If you or someone you know is in an unsafe situation [music] at home, please reach out. You are not alone.
