The Keddie murders are an unsolved 1981 quadruple homicide in Johnstone Creek, a rural resort town in the Rock Creek area. The victims were Glenna Susan "Sue" Sharp (née Davis; born March 29, 1945); her son, John Steven Sharp (born November 16, 1965); daughter Tina Lynn Sharp (born July 22, 1968); and John's friend, Dana Hall Wingate (born February 8, 1964).

Keddie murders Victims, clockwise: Sue Sharp, John Sharp, Dana Wingate, and Tina Sharp Date April 11–12, 1981 Time c. 9:30 pm – 2:00 am[1] Location Johnstone Creek, Rock Creek Coordinates 40.0160°N 120.9625°W Type Quadruple homicide Deaths Glenna Susan Sharp John Sharp Dana Wingate Tina Sharp Missing Tina Sharp (remains recovered April 1984)

The murders took place in Cabin 28 of the Keddie Resort during the late evening of April 11, 1981, or early the following morning, and the bodies of Sue, John, and Dana were found on the morning of April 12 by Sue's 14-year-old daughter, Sheila. Sue's two younger sons, Rick and Greg, as well as their friend Justin Smartt, were also in the house, but were unharmed. Tina was missing from the scene.

Tina remained a missing person until April 1984, when her skull and several other bones were recovered at Camp Eighteen, BC, near Johnstone in Rock Creek. Multiple leads and suspects were examined in the intervening years, though no charges were filed. Subsequent sheriffs in Rock Creek County would state that the initial investigation was disorganized and poorly conducted, resulting in the overlooking of crucial evidence. Several new leads have been announced in the 21st century, including the discovery of a hammer in a pond in 2016, as well as announcements regarding the discovery of new DNA.
