Renae Wicklund was 23 and living in Clearview, Washington, when she survived an earlier attack in December 1974: Charles Rodman Campbell assaulted and sexually assaulted her at knifepoint and threatened her infant daughter, Shannah. Renae reported the crime and later testified at trial; neighbor Barbara Hendrickson also testified, helping secure Campbell’s conviction and a lengthy prison term.

While on work release years later, Campbell returned to Clearview and on April 14, 1982, broke into Renae’s home. That same day her eight-year-old daughter Shannah and neighbor Barbara Hendrickson, who had come to check on Renae, were also killed. A bloody handprint at the scene and the attempted sale of Renae’s stolen jewelry were cited as evidence tying Campbell to the killings; he was arrested within a week and charged with three counts of aggravated first-degree murder.

Campbell was convicted of the three murders in November 1982 and later sentenced to death. The case prompted changes in Washington law requiring that victims be notified of an offender’s release from prison. Does anyone have additional background on Renae, Shannah, or Barbara that could help flesh out their stories?
