Dr. Kenneth Stahl, a 57-year-old anesthesiologist, and his wife, Carolyn Oppy-Stahl were shot to death on November 20, 1999, after being found in their car on Ortega Highway in San Juan Capistrano. Their vehicle had the engine running and headlights on when discovered, and both victims had been shot multiple times with a handgun. Robbery was ruled out because valuables including watches, a wallet, and a purse remained in the car.

Investigators later developed a murder-for-hire theory linked to Dr. Stahl’s long-term affair with a medical secretary, Adriana Vasco. Authorities say Vasco recruited her boyfriend, Dennis Godley, to carry out the killings and that Stahl agreed to pay $30,000. Reports indicate Vasco confessed and implicated Godley as part of the investigation, though the precise motive for killing Stahl as well as Carolyn remains a central question in the case.

Does anyone have information about the couple’s movements that night or about Vasco or Godley’s activities in November 1999?
