Cold #6 Death Of The Dog Lady & Cabin 28, The Keddie Murders

Dian Harlin was married to a quirky fisherman named Hugh Harlin and they lived in Morro Bay, California. They were both known locally as eccentric, but their relationships with others differed. He was somewhat sociable with others and enjoyed his work as a fisherman and tinker, whereas she maintained few social contacts, and had become known in social circles as the "Dog Lady" due to the gossip. According to him, she cared more about her dogs than she did for him.
Hugh and Dian where known locally to have a stormy marriage, with her squandering his meager income and doing things to intentionally enrage him. She often used his money and spent it on her dogs, her friends, and even beggars. Sometimes, she would serve him dog food for dinner. According to one rumor, she even baked it into a casserole for him.
On October 13, 1982, the badly-decomposed body of a woman was found just off the beach at Morro Bay. She had been strangled with a dog leash. A jade bracelet and a silver bracelet were found nearby. At first, she could not be identified, so a description of her was released to the public. A friend urged Hugh to go to the police, believing that she was Dian. But this take would take on an even , more bizarre twist.

The Keddie murders are an unsolved quadruple homicide which took place over the night of April 11–12, 1981, in Keddie, California, United States. The victims were Glenna Susan "Sue" Sharp; daughter Tina Louise Sharp; son, John Steven Sharp; and John's friend, Dana Hall Wingate.
