Shot with Marie Mayon; pair was found in bedroom
On September 11, 1980, Carrie Mae Crowe, a 74-year-old resident of Redding, California, was found brutally murdered in her home on Oxford Lane. Her body bore the signs of a vicious attack, having been stabbed approximately 20 times. The discovery of her body shocked the local community, and the case has remained a cold case for decades. Despite initial investigations, authorities struggled to identify a suspect, and the motive behind this violent crime remains unclear.

The Redding Police Department launched a thorough investigation but could not bring anyone to justice. Over the years, several leads have been explored, but the lack of concrete evidence has kept the case unresolved. Crowe, who lived alone, was described as a quiet and reserved woman, making the nature of her death even more perplexing.

The case remains a painful memory in the Redding community, with occasional efforts to revive interest in solving it. To this day, the murder of Carrie Mae Crowe is one of Redding's most enduring unsolved homicides, continuing to haunt both her family and the investigators who worked the case.
