The Keddie Cabin Murders // 511

Author: Dark West Productions June 13, 2025 Duration: 1:05:58
In April of 1981, a mother and her children -along with two of her children's friends- were spending a quiet Saturday night in their rural California cabin. But by morning, the scene inside Cabin 28 was anything but peaceful. What investigators found was a blood-soaked mystery involving multiple victims, a missing child, and no trace of who—or what—had come in the night. With few answers and a town cloaked in silence, this case would go on to become one of the most disturbing unsolved crimes in American history. This is the story of the Keddie Cabin Murders.

Each week, Going West: True Crime explores the unsettling and often overlooked stories of people who have vanished or been murdered. Hosts Daphne Woolsoncroft and Heath Merryman, from Dark West Productions, approach these complex cases with a careful and respectful focus on the human stories at their core. Their conversations delve into the haunting details and lingering questions that surround these events, moving beyond mere sensationalism to consider the broader impact on families, communities, and our societal understanding of crime. You'll hear a thoughtful examination of the facts, paired with a genuine curiosity about the circumstances that can lead to such darkness. This podcast sits at a compelling intersection of society, culture, and news, offering narrative depth that stays with you. New episodes are released every Tuesday and Friday, providing a consistent and deeply engaging look into the mysteries that unsettle and fascinate us. Tune in for a sober yet compelling exploration of true crime, where the emphasis is on the story and the search for clarity within some of life's most difficult chapters.
