Douglas Neal Anderson was 26 when he and his wife Rozina Anne Anderson, 31, were found dead on August 22, 1988. The couple from Oswego Lake, Oregon, had been vacationing and camping near Mill Creek, Crescent City, California, when their van was discovered; both had multiple gunshot wounds and no immediate suspects were identified.

In 2015 John William Kelley, already serving life without parole for an unrelated 1986 murder, confessed to the Del Norte County double killing. Kelley gave specific details about the scene that had not been public, and the Del Norte County District Attorney Dale Trigg agreed not to seek the death penalty in exchange for a full confession; Kelley was then transferred to Del Norte County to face charges.

The confession brought long-awaited answers for the Anderson families after more than 27 years. Did anyone in the Crescent City or Oswego Lake communities ever notice suspicious activity around the couple’s campsite that August?
