Hello and welcome to "How It Really Happened."

I'm Hill Harper.

There are few pleasures in life more breathtaking

than the wonders of nature's raw power and beauty.

But in 1999, the vicious sexual assault

and murders of four innocent and vibrant women

enjoying the legendary landscape of Yosemite National Park

cut deeply into the conscience of a nation and the world.

After a five-month FBI investigation of dead-end leads,

suddenly, there's an all-out manhunt.

Agents now have a new prime suspect,

one who's been hiding in plain sight all along.

Could this so-called "cooperative, nice guy"

have actually been a violent killer.

This is part 2 of "The Yosemite Murders,"

and this is how it really happened.

♪♪

On February 15, 1999,

Carole Sund from Eureka, California,

and her daughter, Juli, age 15,

and Juli's friend, Silvina Pelosso,

who was 16 and visiting from Argentina,

went missing from the area around Yosemite National Park.

King: This extraordinary missing-persons case

has captured the attention of not only of the United States

but spread around the world.

Hanley: Carole wanted to take Silvina

to one of the most beautiful places in the world.

Jordan: They were having the time of their lives seeing Yosemite,

and at the end of the day,

they went back to where they were staying,

at the Cedar Lodge.

It's extremely remote.

There is no cell service, and there is no traffic.

The cedar lodge was the last place that they were seen.

These women seem to have completely vanished

from the face of the Earth.

James Maddock, you're the FBI special agent.

Anything new you can report?

We're really no further down the road

in making a conclusive determination

about what happened to the missing people.

The first thing we thought was that they had had an accident

and the car had gone into the river.

Gagliano: As hopes for finding the women alive began to fade,

the accident theory gave way to the likelihood of foul play,

and an FBI task force was created

to look into the disappearances.

They basically retrace everything,

starting at the Cedar Lodge,

because that was the last place that the three had been seen.

They interview the employees.

They interview Cary Stayner, who's the maintenance guy there.

The guy next door,

just completely calm, collected, affable, easygoing.

Jackson: Mary Ellen Geist, a KGO Radio reporter

covering the Sund-Pelosso case,

met Cary Stayner in a chance encounter

at the Cedar Lodge hot tub.

I said, "Are you related in any way to Steven Stayner?"

Gagliano: The infamous Steven Stayner kidnapping, child-abuse,

and rescue story had consumed the entire nation,

beginning back in 1972.

And he said "Yes, he was my brother."

I remember I said, "Oh, my God. I covered that story."

And he said, "It messed up our whole family.

It messed up all of us."

And he seemed so evolved.

It's as if he spoke in a way like someone

who's had a lot of therapy.

He's the one that actually shows

the FBI the different rooms in the hotel.

He shows them the room where the girls were staying,

in room 509.

He's actually helping with the investigation.

Jordan: The idea that the brother of the very famous

Steven Stayner had actually morphed

into a violent predator himself was just unimaginable.

Carole Sund's credit card surfaces in Modesto.

And one of the theories was,

all three of them were kidnapped.

Why would this red Pontiac absolutely vanish

along with the girls?

They had arrested two men.

Rinek: They are great suspects.

Hanley: Rufus Dykes was kind of a low-level ex-con.

Rufus has a half-brother, Mick Larwick.

They think maybe they were working together.

A few days after Larwick and Dykes are in custody...

We believe we have recovered the car.

...in the back of the car

were the bodies of Carole Sund and Silvina Pelosso.

♪♪

Jens: As a father, I feel terrible.

I'm supposed to die.

[ Camera shutter clicks ]

[Sobbing ] Excuse me.

The search is on for Juli, and then...

Hanley: They did find her body.

Her throat is slit from one side all the way to the other.

Eugene "Rufus" Dykes is interviewed by an FBI agent.

He admitted involvement in the missing three women

from Yosemite.

Rinek: The things that Dykes said were then accepted as a confession.

And the FBI actually made a statement at that point

that they felt they had arrested the guys

who had done something to these women.

Hanley: They told the public they were safe.

So the feeling was that these guys did do it.

And that, of course, was absolutely wrong.

♪♪

A few months later, the body of Joie Armstrong

is found in the Yosemite National Park,

and that changes everything all over again.

Armstrong: I get a knock on the door.

Two FBI agents --

"We found a body."

I said, "Does the body have red hair?"

And they said, "We don't know."

♪♪

If that wasn't a sledgehammer in the gut.

I remember when we didn't know how this had happened

and we were scared, wondering,

"Is the guy that did this right over there?"

This is not just some isolated event.

This is a part of a bigger problem.

A distinctive car had been spotted near Joie's cabin.

Rowlands: It's powder blue and white,

and a witness says they saw it driving in the area.

And people know it.

It's Cary Stayner.

He denied being near there.

Rowlands: But they also notice that he has a backpack on,

and at this point,

Joie Armstrong's head has not been found.

And a real fear for these rangers is

"Is her head in that backpack?"

He let us search the vehicle,

but he wouldn't let us look in the backpack.

I'm like, "Yeah, we've got to take the backpack."

But I told him that I wasn't gonna open it

until we got a warrant to open it.

Turns out that inside that backpack

was some suntan oil,

some sunflower seeds, and a book.

Rinek: It was a novel by a horror/fantasy author

named John Saul about two brothers,

one of whom was a stone-cold killer,

who tried to pin a number of gruesome murders on his brother.

Rowlands: There was no head.

As crime-scene investigators continue to process the area

in and around Joie's house,

they eventually do find her head downstream

from where they found her body.

Schwartz: But in the process, we were able to look at the tires

and match those tire tracks to the up on scene.

And found a perfect match.

And that night, he sold all his belongings.

And he didn't show up for work the next day.

♪♪

Now there's an all-out search for Cary Stayner.

The FBI issues a press release to the media.

And a woman who sees the television report

is staying at a nudist colony outside of Sacramento.

So, she calls the FBI and says, "I know where this guy is."

Gagliano: The FBI quickly assembles a team

to head to the Laguna del Sol nudist resort.

One of those agents is Jeff Rinek.

Rinek: They tell me that I was picking up some guy

who was possibly running

and that Laguna del Sol was a nudist colony.

♪♪

Rinek and a team of agents and officers moved in quickly

and approached Cary Stayner at the nudist resort.

Their job was really just to bring him in for questioning.

I think Stayner sees them and kind of knows.

He stood up and put his hands on his head.

And during the drive back to headquarters,

Agent Rinek used his disarming nature to draw Cary Stayner out.

One of the first things Rinek says to him is --

Rinek: He looked exactly like a movie character called Billy Jack.

There's a scene in the movie...

I'm gonna whop you.

...where Billy Jack does a roundhouse kick

and knocks the guy down.

It was beautiful.

So, I said, you know, "Did you ever see 'Billy Jack'?"

He goes, "Nah."

The conversation takes a more personal turn

to the tragic 1972 sex abuse and kidnapping

of Cary's little brother.

Cary Stayner says he was upset that Steven's kidnapper,

Kenneth Parnell, only got seven years in prison

and how unfair that was.

Rinek: Cary and I talked about closure in the car ride

as it related to his brother, Steven.

There are things that happen in life

that will never, ever go away.

The best we can hope for is that we can learn to live with it.

As we were pulling in the impound for the office,

he looks at me and he recites verbatim

those words from "Billy Jack" and started laughing.

He knew that I knew, and I knew that he knew.

He had seen it.

He knew he looked exactly like the guy.

It probably made Cary feel good, like he's the star.

Rowlands: And that relationship would end up

changing this entire investigation.

After nearly five months,

the FBI task force now had evidence

connecting Cary Stayner to the murder of Joie Armstrong.

Rinek: We had him sit down in an interview room.

He wasn't under arrest, and he could leave.

We figured the best thing to do

would be to call in the polygraph examiner,

because as part of a polygraph examination,

he's got to do an interview.

Gagliano: FBI Special Agent Rinek had already established

a crucial bond with Cary Stayner,

and he was assigned to interview him.

First thing is, they order a pizza.

Gagliano: A lot of times for people that are being questioned by the FBI,

they think all the worst things,

that a confession is gonna be beaten out of them.

That's not how we do business.

Rinek: "Hey, the pizza's here. The polygrapher is here.

What do you want to do first?"

And Cary looks at me and says, "Let's skip the polygraph.

I'd like to talk alone."

And he says, "You know, Jeff,

I've done some really bad things."

What could be coming?

And then he said, "I can give you closure on this and more."

I said, "You mean the three women from the Cedar Lodge?"

And he silently nods.

Hanley: He tells Rinek, "Yeah, I'll talk to you,

but there's a few things I want first."

Rowlands: Cary Stayner basically says,

"I'll tell you what you want to know

if you give me pornographic images of children."

Now you've got him, because even though it's inconceivable

that you're going to be sharing child pornography

with this depraved reprobate,

he's willing to negotiate to tell you something.

Now it's just a delicate dance

of changing his mind about what he needs --

"How about if I get you a pepperoni pizza and a Coke?"

-- and trying to work it that way.

And as he's finishing up his pizza, he says,

"This is gonna be my last meal as a free man."

And at that point on, the confession starts.

Rinek wasn't taking any chances.

Cary Stayner's admissions of guilt were being recorded.

I thought it was strange when he mentioned Bigfoot,

but I believe that Cary believes he saw Bigfoot.

Jordan: In my mind, Bigfoot is a metaphor

for what other serial killers call the dark side,

which is capable of unspeakable violence.

Cary finally begins to reveal the horrifying truth

of what he had done.

Only a person of incredible physical and mental strength

could have done what she did.

When I heard Cary Stayner describing what he had done,

it was just blood-curdling, shocking, frightening.

And I thought nobody, except for his victims,

saw this dark, dark evil side of Cary Stayner.

And when we finished the discussion

of his murder of Joie,

he had to decide whether he was going to discuss Sund/Pelosso.

Geist: My producer called me and said,

"I've got a room for you at the Cedar Lodge."

And they called it the 500 West section.

And I pull up, and I'm the only car there.

And I sort of thought that was weird

that I was staying there alone, but I saw a pool and a hot tub.

And I'm like, "Yes! This is great.

I've had a long day."

This man comes in, and he gets into the hot tub.

I think he said right away, "Hi. My name is Cary Stayner."

And then he asked me questions.

We talked a little bit more.

He seemed quite nice.

Gagliano: But when Mary Ellen changed the subject

to the ongoing Sund/Pelosso case --

I said, "What's your theory

about what happened to these women?"

Cary Stayner's demeanor suddenly turned dark and dangerous.

He turned to me like this,

and his eyes just went black and flat.

That was like an animal was gonna attack.

I just felt like I saw a moment of evil.

I felt in danger, and I ran,

and I put the furniture in front of the door,

and I just followed my instincts.

Rinek: When you work homicides,

I always look in the face of the killer

and I think to myself,

"That's the last thing our victim saw."

Geist: I think about that look on Cary Stayner's face.

I was in the same situation as his victims.

I was alone with this guy who, when he realizes

he's alone with women, becomes a predator.

Cary said that he had been fighting the urge

to kill women since he was a boy

sitting in the parking lot of the grocery store

while his mom was in grocery shopping.

He would look in through the big planes of glass

and fantasize about tying up the female checkers.

Cary says he envisioned slaughtering them en masse.

Cary Stayner's disturbing boyhood fantasies began

to mutate into visions of rape and murder.

Dr. Dietz: He had very early onset of deviant sexual fantasies.

His interest in being able to tie up young girls,

put them in a bunker, and do what he wants with them

started before his brother disappeared.

There is some indication

that Stayner had been sexually abused in childhood.

He said, "I've never told anybody before,

but my uncle molested me."

I believe that what he was doing was sexually oriented

because of the way he described

that he had never had a normal relationship with a woman.

♪♪

Rowlands: And he peered into the window,

and that's when he noticed Carole Sund, Juli Sund,

and Silvina inside the room of 509.

Rowlands: He grabbed his murder kit, as he called it --

his backpack with his gun and the rope and the duct tape.

Jordan: Cary talked through the door to Carole Sund,

who was very suspicious.

He said, "There's a leak in the room above your room,

and it's leaking water, and I need to come in and check it."

Carole Sund actually resisted and said,

"No, you're not coming in."

And he insisted, "Oh, call the front desk if you want."

Something to re-assure her that it was okay.

Jordan: He takes Juli and Silvina and puts them in the bathroom.

And he approaches Carole Sund, who is laying bound on the bed.

Silently, he strangles this mother with a rope from his kit.

He was delivering these gory details with no emotion.

Jordan: And he takes Juli Sund and moves her into the unit next door,

using the master key from his key ring.

He then sexually assaulted her.

Jordan: He kills Silvina in the same way

that he killed Carole Sund, quietly strangling her,

while Juli stays in the unit next door.

Right next to Carole Sund.

She didn't know her mom and friend were already dead.

Carole and Silvina are in the trunk of the vehicle.

He parks, comes around to the passenger seat.

And he said, "You know, I carried her like this,

like a husband carries a wife."

And he carried her about 50 yards into the hillside,

and he put Juli on the pink blanket, totally freezing.

And he's telling her he loves her.

Jordan: Part of this fantasy is believing that Juli loves

him and that he loves her.

Hanley: He kept driving all the way into the forest

and just hoofed it and walked back to a town.

He used Carole's $200 to get back to Yosemite Lodge.

Handed me the cash up front

and told me where he wanted to go.

The driver of that cab, Jenny Paul,

remembers a very unusual conversation.

When he asked me if I believed in Bigfoot,

I was kind of shocked

that he would ask me something like that.

That was the ruse that he had used to engage Joie Armstrong

into conversation.

Paul: He offered to show me where he'd seen Bigfoot

when we got to Yosemite,

but I just had this intuition.

I was scared.

I'm not gonna go somewhere I don't know.

Cary Stayner was a clever man.

Hanley: He watched a lot of crime shows

and learned throwing the wallet out might misdirect them

and take the suspicion away from him.

I don't get emotional over this really anymore,

until I recently learned that Cary had his killing kit

in that backpack right behind me the whole time.

♪♪

Welcome back to "How It Really Happened."

FBI Special Agent Jeff Rinek got Cary Stayner's full confession.

In chilling detail, he admitted to killing

26-year-Old naturalist Joie Armstrong

and the triple homicide of Carole Sund,

Juli Sund, and Silvina Pelosso.

As soon as his six-hour confession was over,

Stayner was formally arrested and locked behind bars.

The task force had finally gotten their man.

But Cary Stayner's capture was a complete shock

to the small mountain community who knew him or knew of him.

Was it possible their friendly cedar lodge handyman

could really be a depraved serial killer?

♪♪

The FBI claims to have linked Stayner to all four killings.

Woman: Late last night, Federal Authorities arrested this man,

37-year-Old Cary Stayner.

I ran into living room, looked at the TV,

and I'm like, "Hey, that's that guy that I drove."

Dr. Kidd: I knew a lot of people who had contact with him.

This person was right under our nose this whole time.

Nobody can believe that Cary would do anything like this.

Everybody thinks that he probably isn't

the one they're looking for.

Unbelievable, you know?

'Cause he was very friendly.

There was nothing that ever made me

think that he would harm anyone.

It brought me to tears when I saw it on the TV.

Gagliano: But the truth about Cary Stayner

came out in new revelations during his confession,

appalling disclosures that the four Yosemite murder victims

were not his original targets.

Lenna: My mom worked at the Cedar Lodge.

She was a waitress and bartender.

My mom seemed very happy when Cary was around.

We knew that he was more of like a boyfriend.

They had a really deep connection and bond.

Jackson: To 11-year-old Lenna and her 8-year-old sister,

Cary Stayner was like a favorite uncle

who spoiled the kids.

I definitely remember he would always buy us gifts.

He bought us Beanie Babies,

we had an entire collection of them.

I call that grooming.

I think he was grooming them.

Every time we'd see him at the Cedar Lodge,

he'd walk us into the gift shop,

buy us another Beanie Baby, take us to the pool.

So we loved him.

As a child in 1999, Lenna was protected

from hearing all the details

of Cary Stayner's gruesome confession

to the Yosemite murders.

But years later, as a young woman,

Lenna learned what Cary Stayner had in mind

for her entire family --

a sadistic and cold-blooded betrayal

that would change Lenna's life forever.

If you look at that whole confession,

Rinek was able to peal a lid off of a Pandora's box

that had been closed for years and years.

And he pries it open, and all the skeletons come out.

He was going to murder my mom

and then rape and murder my sister and I.

To my knowledge, he attempted to carry out his plan

with my family three different times.

Even Rinek was caught off guard by Cary Stayner's new admission.

He was at our house repairing some screens for us.

He had a murder kit, as he called it --

his backpack, which had a revolver, had rope, duct tape.

Cary says that he went there

with the intention of killing them.

This was a fantasy that he had had for months.

Jackson: But, suddenly, a neighbor appeared at Lenna's door,

and that surprise visit abruptly stopped Stayner

from launching his murderous attack.

So, he left there very angry.

He says that once that plan was foiled,

he came back to the Cedar Lodge, where he was living.

Gagliano: His twisted fantasy had been ruined,

but Cary Stayner was still poised to stalk and kill.

In the course of walking off his tension

through the parking lot,

that's where he saw Carole and the girls.

He was so wound up and so ready

because Cary had built himself up to do this.

Lenna: And that was the night that he followed through

with Carole, Juli, and Silvina.

When neighbors heard of Cary Stayner's violent plan

for Lenna and her family, they were left in shock.

Williams: First and foremost, horrifying to me as a mother.

They lived very near to me.

And I felt sick to my stomach.

I pretty much lost my childhood from that moment on.

Jackson: Since 1999, Lenna has struggled to make sense

of Cary Stayner's traumatic betrayal of her family.

Lenna: This person that we adored,

who wanted to do these awful things to us,

never even said a word to us again.

I still have questions that are not answered.

How could you? Why would you?

Do you feel any guilt?

And Lenna has also felt anguish over being a survivor

of the Cary Stayner killing spree.

It haunted me for a long time

knowing that three other women lost their lives,

when Cary had confessed to my mom, my sister, and I

being his original intended victims.

They're the version of me that was fatally taken away.

♪♪

♪♪

Jordan: Cary Stayner is technically a serial killer,

but his first homicide was really a mass murder.

He killed three women at once in an act of sexual predation

that was really high-risk.

You almost never see this

as a first murder for a serial killer.

Gagliano: And when Cary Stayner was confronted

with losing control of Joie Armstrong

as she courageously fought for her life,

it enraged him.

Armstrong: And he said, "She had made me so angry,

I just wanted to do the most heinous thing I could think of."

And he cut her head off.

The outcome of her fighting so hard

was the evidence that was left.

Law enforcement agents want to build the strongest possible

criminal case against Cary Stayner.

They know that his confession alone is simply not enough

to guarantee a guilty verdict at trial.

[Indistinct chatter

Just because someone says something

doesn't make it true.

You're gonna need corroboration.

Jackson: They urgently needed to collect the physical evidence

Cary Stayner had scattered in remote places

throughout the Yosemite backcountry.

Gagliano: Because only the killer would know under what tree

the body was laid

or what portion of the creek he laid the decapitated head in.

Cary Stayner agreed to fully cooperate,

beginning with those critical items

from Joie Armstrong's murder.

I think that FBI Agent Rinek's work was the key in all of it

to get that tour.

Unbelievable.

The next day, they got him out of jail.

To here.

Rinek: I met Cary and my partners at Joie's cabin.

My name is Jeff Rinek.

I am a special agent with the FBI.

This is Cary.

And Cary is going to take us to an area

where he committed a crime,

and he's gonna show us what happened.

Dr. Kidd: Information was leaked.

We snuck over the ridge and peeked down

to see what was going on.

I come in on the walkway.

Saw a guy being walked through the crime scene by the FBI.

Rinek: Okay.

And I told her to get on the bed

with her face pointing that way.

The first thing I asked Cary to do was to demonstrate on me

how he murdered Joie

to see if what he showed me would fit how she was killed.

I put my arm underneath her arm.

Okay, so you do that. Okay.

I just led her out of the house here.

Rinek: Everything he said proved true.

Then, suddenly, in a potentially devastating moment,

the killer nearly comes fact-to-face

with Joie Armstrong's grieving mother.

Ironically, when we were driving out

with Cary to start the evidence retrieval,

we passed Leslie coming in.

I think they realized that we were there with him,

so I think they kept her where she was until we left.

Luckily, she didn't know.

On the way out of Joie's cabin, we stopped,

and he pointed to where he had left the knife.

We refer to this as a home-run case,

because that just further incriminates him.

With Cary Stayner still under guard,

agents moved on to collect the key physical evidence

in the Sund/Pelosso triple murder.

Rinek: We drove about 50 miles,

and he points to where he threw the knife he used to kill Juli

and the duct tape.

They found both exactly where he said it was.

Jackson: The mountain of forensic evidence

revealed to investigators that Cary Stayner alone

committed the depraved Yosemite murders.

Maddock: I previously expressed a belief that the key players

in the Sund/Pelosso case were already in custody.

In light of yesterday's arrest, however,

the possible involvement of others in the murders of Carole,

Juli, and Silvina is being re-evaluated.

Jackson: Afterwards, FBI inspectors determined

that James Maddock mishandled the investigation,

and in January 2001, he was quietly removed from his post.

Rowlands: Cary Stayner was one step ahead of them.

Because he was so cunning and so detached,

he was able to fool the FBI.

A simple death penalty does not mean that it's over and done.

I asked if the Federal Government

would accept life with no chance of release,

Jackson: After pleading guilty to the murder of Joie Armstrong,

Gagliano: Eight months after the deaths of Carole and Juli Sund

The Carringtons were ready.

They pursued the death penalty.

In July 2002, The State v. Cary Stayner

murder trial began.

Blitzer: He's confessed to a series of grisly murders.

Now Cary Stayner wants off the hook with an insanity plea.

Gagliano: Stayner's defense team

called upon half-a-dozen mental health experts.

Amongst those was at least one who would cite brain scans

indicating Stayner suffers

from an obsessive-compulsive disorder, depression,

and an unspecified psychosis.

Reporter: Do you think he's crazy?

No.

Prosecutors were prepared to prove Stayner

knew right from wrong.

Renowned forensic psychiatrist Dr. Park Dietz spent two days

evaluating Cary Stayner for the prosecution.

My testimony was largely focused on steps he took before,

during, and after the crime to indulge his sexual fantasy

without being caught.

In the courtroom, there were days that he would tear up.

There were times when he seemed completely uninterested

in what was happening.

It was an interesting study into a serial killer.

the Carole Sund-Carrington Memorial Reward Foundation.

This nonprofit organization was helping to look for children

and families that were missing or murdered,

and we really did help.

I think Carole and I have a life.

I don't think we ought to let Cary Stayner ruin our life, too.

Dr. Kidd: Joie's story is one of many, but certainly a spectacular one,

and there's still a legacy to her story.

The Armstrong Scholars program is a testimony

to her legacy living on.

Every year, 12 to 13 young women learn outdoor survival skills.

They learn how strong they are.
