4-12-81 0815 hrs I went to Keddie to assist Dep. Klement who had been dispatched there re a possible homicide.
I contacted Dep. Klement at cabin #28 Keddie at approx. 0825 hrs. He was standing in front of the cabin #28 talking with a group of people. Dep. Klement informed me that there were three victims inside and it looks like a triple murder. Dep. Klement and I, at this time, went inside via the front door.
I saw the three victims lying in the floor in the living room. The two male victims were closer to the front door with the female near the couch. The male victims were fully clothed. The female was covered with a blanket. All three were bound hand and foot and had been either stabbed or bluggedoned (sic) or both. The wounds appeared to be about the neck and head area on all three victims. All victims were dead.
I radioed the S/O and asked that the sheriff be notified and to send the investigators.
