We’ve come to another anniversary of the Keddie Murders remaining unsolved. On April 12th of 1981 Sheila returned to her home after spending the night just yards away at her neighbors to find the brutally murdered bodies of her mother Sue Sharp, brother John Sharp, and friend Dana Wingate. I can’t even imagine.
Luckily, the two youngest Sharp boys and their friend Justin were found unharmed in a bedroom.
Her little sister Tina was missing from the scene. Maybe the one glimmer of light in all this darkness, was the hope that Tina had somehow survived. That hope was also brutally murdered three years later when her remains were discovered miles away.
That’s three years of the world moving on while waiting on reuniting. And suddenly that’s taken away. That’s 43 years of a killer walking free while those affected have lived jailed in that day. Life does go on. Jobs need to be worked, romances swell and dwindle, new experiences are had and families are built. There are other ups and downs, laughter and griefs. Vacations and fun gatherings. But for the survivors, the family and friends, there’s always that chain connecting them to one unimaginable moment and it’s still unanswered questions.
There’s a very small and unfortunate club that Sheila is in. After 43 years of getting hopes up, being let down, promises and disappointments…it’s a wonder she keeps any faith at all. Many in her situation give up. That’s 43 years of stress, fear, and sleepless nights. So we’re asking for help. In any way shape or form. If anyone knows anything about these murders, please contact the authorities. If you have something to say you’re not quite comfortable discussing publicly or with police, drop us a message. I’m a vault and will keep your confidence, or use a fake name/account. Just tell someone.
This could be the year, I feel like things could be snowballing in a very positive direction. So if you have the means, be apart of it. Lets help solve one of the most tragic of cold cases.
