ADOPTED ON MAY 5, 1987 AYES: Supervisors: Woodhall, Coates, Cosset Ross and Schramel NOES: Supervisors: None ABSENT: Supervisors: None Published May 13, 1987 By Curt Asher Staff Writer The life Glenna Sharp had been living-trapped in a failed marriage to a career sailor at a Connecticut Navy base-was finally behind her. She had moved in late 1979 into the Claremont Trailer Park in Quincy, the town where her brother lived, with its pine-scented air and snowy peaks. Even shackled with five children, the slight 36-year-old must have felt that here there was hope for a new start. That hope ended in blood- splattered violence in a Keddie cabin sometime between 11:00 p.m. April 1 1 and 2:00 a.m.

April 12, 1981. Between those hours, Glenna Sharp, her 15-year-old son John, and his 17-year-old friend Dana Wingate were bound and murdered with a claw-hammer and two kitchen knives by an unknown killer or killers in their Keddie home. Sharp's two other sons, Kicky, men ana ureg, then 5, slept through the night unharmed in an adjoining bedroom. Her daughter, Tina, 12, was kidnapped. Her remains were found in Butte County three years later.

The carnage was discovered by daughter Sheila Sharp, then 14, on April 12, 1981, at about 8:00 in the morning. Sheila spent the night of the murders at the house next door to the cabin the Sharps had occupied since November of 1980. The tragedy remains un solved, although conjecture and theory abound on the streets of Quincy and in other nearby towns. Investigators are baffled. They wonder why neither the neighbors, nor the boys sleeping in a room only 10 feet from the murder scene, heard anything.

"The strangest thing," said Plumas County Sheriff's Lieutenant Don Stoy, who continues to work on the investigation, "is that there is no apparent motive. Any case without an apparent motive is the toughest to solve. If you don't have a 'why' to start with, it's difficult to determine At the time of the murders, then-Sheriff Doug Thomas told the Sacramento Bee that the eath scene was especially bloody, and that holes had been punctured in the blood-splattered walls with knives. All three victims had been repeatedly bludgeoned and stabbed. "No sane person could have performed those acts," Stoy said.

The two murdered boys were last seen on the corner of Lawrence Street and Highway 70, hitchhiking toward Keddie. The remains of Tina Sharp were found almost exactly three years after the murder by a bottle hunter near Feather Falls, about 50 miles from Keddie. Forensic pathologists identified the remains using dental records. The people who died in Cabin 28 at the Keddie have been characterized as "typical" and just struggling to get by, like a lot of other people." What is known about Glenna Sharp is that she was a private person who kept to herself. Those who knew the small, thin woman liked her.

She had come to the Quincy area to be near her KPORTS NEWS WANTED! Do you or anyone you know have an interesting sports hobby? If so we'd like to know.

Plumas County Tax Collector Executed at Quincy, Plumas County, California on April 21, 1987 PARCEL NUMBERING SYSTEM EXPLANATION The Assessor's Parcel Number, when used to describe property in this list, refers to the assessor's map book, the map page, the block on the map, if applicaable, and to the individual parcel number on the map page or in the block. A parcel number such as 48-523-132, is analyzed as follows: 48 is the map book number; 523 is map page 52 and block 3 (if the "3" were a "0" that page would not contain a block); 13 is the parcel number; the 2 is a coded suffix to the parcel number denoting the interest held in parcel 13. The suffixes used in conjunction with the parcel number are as follows: 0 Surface and all mineral interests 1 Surface less mineral interests 2 Mineral interests only 3 Multiple ownership interests The naps referred to are available for inspection in the office of the Assessor. The properties that are the subject of this notice are situated in the County of Plumas, State of California, and are described as follows: Tina Keddie murder victim.

year-old daughter home and accounted for that night. Tina came home and watched television for a while. The following morning she was missing, and no witnesses ever saw her alive again. "Tina, too, was a private person. At least at times.

She had secret hiding places where she liked to go to be alone. She required special attention in school. She liked attention," Stoy said. "She received attention in school and liked it and it encouraged her to do better. She had her chores around the house that she did, and she had a few special friends.

In most respects, she was a very average 12-year-old girl," Stoy added. Stoy continues to work on the case, and he thinks that eventually the killers will be caught. Although there are similarities between the Keddie murders and other slayings around the country, the similarities aren't exact enough to prove a tie-in. There is also no basis to the rumor that the murder in Keddie was the work of a cult, Stoy said. Drugs may have been involved, but autopsies revealed no trace of alcohol or illegal drugs in the systems of the victims.

Some theorize that Tina Sharp was kidnapped for sexual purposes. Investigators just don't know. The evidence has not provided them with any answers, only theories and more questions. In Cabin 28 on the morning of April 12, signs of struggle were everywhere. Blood was splattered on the walls, and smeared on both the front and back door knobs.

The doors were ajar, and the furniture in the room was knocked over. The phone was off the hook. Investigators processed more than 200 pieces of evidence from the death scene. All the blood was determined to be that of the victims. Of the many fingerprints lifted from the scene, there are still some that haven't been ruled out as the killer's.

"We totally dismantled the walls. Basically, when we were done we had to replace the cabin on the inside," said Stoy, who was in charge of processing the crime scene. "When a crime scene is processed, every item is examined. A bill lying on the floor, fabrics in the carpet, dust, everything is examined and photographed as to its location. It's been said, and I agree, that there has never been a crime committed where there was no evidence left at the scene or taken Army asks assistance, visits to shut-ins, as 'well as assisting in several emergencydisasters and sending children to camp.

It is to publicize these services that National Salvation Army Week is being celebrated (May 11-17). "Obviously, such operations cost money, so an associated membership drive is now underway. "Contributions will benefit the services provided locally John Sharp Keddie murder victim brother, who lived there then, after her marriage to James Sharp, a career Navy man stationed in Groton, Con necticut, had fallen apart. She had had three boyfriends in her 18 months here but hadn't become seriously involved with any of them. She'd held a few part-time jobs in the Quincy area, but with five children, she was forced to depend on the welfare system as her major means of support.

For the Sharps, life in a $175-a-month, four-room cabin wasn't easy and money was hard to come by. According to Un-dersheriff Steve Wright, Glenna Sharp saw to it that her children had warm clothes for the winter, even if it meant that she had to sacrifice her own comfort. Both boys had had some brushes with the law. John Sharp had once broken into a house and stolen some marijuana, and his friend, Dana Wingate, was a ward of the court and on probation. "Johnny was a little bit cocky.

He fancied himself as pretty tough. He'd had his share of arguments with other kids. He was the leader-type, and I have this image that Dana was hanging with said Stoy. A person who knew Dana Wingate said that "he was a real likeable kid, a little small for his age and immature, but pleasant to be around." Dana had also had some trouble, and was living in a group home in Quincy. "Dana was a pretty typical high school kid.

He enjoyed parties and had several friends. He had girlfriends. Johnny was one of his closest friends, and they spent a lot of time together," Stoy said. "Other than living in a foster home, his lifestyle wasn't much different than any other teenager. He was mild-natured and enjoyed having a good time," Stoy added.

Tom Frady, chief probation officer, said that after the murders the probation department checked with Dana's group home, and were told Dana had had permission to visit John Sharp that night. The boys were last seen hitchhiking toward the Sharp home at about 10:15 p.m. on the night of the murders. It may have been about that same time that Glenna Sharp ordered her youngest daughter, Tina, home. Tina's sister, Sheila, was staying overnight at a neighbor's house, and Tina wanted to join her.

Tina's mother wouldn't allow it. Glenna wanted her 12- Salvation In spite of government programs and the endeavors of neighbors, there continue to exist 'pockets of poverty' in most communities throughout the U.S.A.," said Arline D. Shrum, chairman of the local Salvation Army Service Extension Committee. "Our own community is not exempt. "In reviewing our activities for the past year, The Salvation Army has been active in providing food, housing, utility Uncle Sam Uncle Sam has an offer no American citizen should refuse: a free, pocket-size copy of the Declaration of Independence and the U.S.

Constitution. The printed booklet was published in commemoration of the bicentennial of the con Keddie murder victim, from the scene." The California Department of Justice and the Federal Bureau of Investigation assisted the sheriff's department in the in vestigation. The Justice Department provided laboratory analysis and technical assistance. The Sheriff's Department has accumulated a vast network of information, and, if it had the manpower, leads that deputies could follow up would take them all over the country, into Canada, and even South America. The FBI has studied the crime scene, and used the information to draw up a psychological profile of the killer.

"Certain criminals perform certain acts in a certain way. The FBI tries to determine a profile of the individual by the way the crime was carried out," Stoy said. "What it is is a guess. It gives us a place to start. What we have is an educated guess about the killer-about his age, his appearance, the kind of car he drives, what type of work he'd do, what type of area he'd live in, what kind of entertainment he'd enjoy.

It gives us a place to look for evidence, but it's useless in prosecution." It's a very specialized and 1 new' "form ''of science, and it may be used in the future with more accuracy." Because no motive has been established in the murders, investigators are as stumped as the rest of the community. "We can offer all kinds of theories," said Stoy. "My theory is probably no more valuable than anyone else's, but in my opinion, the influence of nar cotics could explain the lack of motive. I think Johnny or Dana could have been picked up by someone in that state of mind, that they could have taken the killer home with them in order to secure a ride." Stoy thinks that due to the violence involved in the murders, and due the strength needed to subdue three people and abduct a child, the killers were probably male. The use of multiple weapons and the different methods used to bind the victims indicates that there was more than one killer.

"We have a vast amount of information. I think that someday the killer will be caught. We need some piece of information that would connect all the evidence we have with an individual," Stoy said. "One piece of information could trigger the trap and bring everything together. for help through our Committee of Volunteers, as well as help maintain the network of facilities throughout California and Nevada," explains the chairman.
