On April 14, 1982, in Clearview, Washington, 8-year-old Shannah Wicklund, her mother Renae Wicklund, and neighbor Barbara Hendrickson were found murdered inside the Wicklund home. Shannah, described as a sweet, shy third-grade student, was discovered in her bedroom with her throat slashed. Renae was found beaten to death, and Barbara suffered a fatal knife wound in the hallway. The scene was reported after Barbara’s husband became concerned when she did not return home.

Investigators identified Charles Rodman Campbell as the primary suspect and linked the killings to revenge. Campbell had sexually assaulted Renae in 1974 at knifepoint and threatened the then-infant Shannah; both Renae and Barbara had testified against him, leading to his conviction. A bloody handprint at the scene and victims’ jewelry found in Campbell’s possession were cited as key evidence. Campbell was arrested on April 19, 1982, and later convicted of the three murders.

Does anyone have memories of the Clearview community in 1982 or information about the victims that could add context to their lives?
