Carole Evon Sund, 42, was murdered while on a sightseeing trip to Yosemite National Park on February 15, 1999. She was traveling with her 15-year-old daughter, Juli Sund, and a 16-year-old family friend from Argentina, Silvina Pelosso. The three had stayed at the Cedar Lodge in El Portal and went missing after failing to appear for a scheduled airport pickup, prompting a large search that attracted national attention.

On March 19, 1999 the charred remains of Carole Sund and Silvina Pelosso were found in the trunk of their burned rental car in a remote area; Juli Sund’s body was located shortly afterward in a different location. Authorities arrested Cary Stayner, a 37-year-old handyman who worked at the Cedar Lodge. He confessed to these three murders and to a separate killing of naturalist Joie Armstrong later that year and was convicted and sentenced to death.

Does anyone have information about the trip or about the Cedar Lodge staff during February 1999 that could shed light on the victims’ movements?
