The Story of Cabin 28
True Crime
20 Episodes
On the night of April 11, 1981, a mother and three children were killed in a small rented cabin at the edge of a Sierra Nevada resort town in Northern California. Two of the family's younger children survived in an adjoining room. The mother's twelve-year-old daughter was taken from the scene; her remains would not be found for three years. The case fell to a rural sheriff's department. The two men now believed responsible were interviewed within 48 hours, questioned, released, and never charged. Both died before the case was reopened. This is the story of that family, of the investigation that failed them, and of the two Plumas County officers who — thirty-two years later — quietly began working the case again.
