This is the first time I have posted it anywhere.
\nAs you read it it may seem it is written in the present
\nbut it was written long ago.<\/p>\n
And it starts here.<\/p>\n
What I know about the Sund Murder that nobody else
\nknows or they are just too willing to ignore it.<\/p>\n
In the winter months I work at Badger Pass Ski Area.
\nBadger Pass is located inside Yosemite National Park.
\nMy job is Ski Fitter. I work in the alpine ski rental
\nshop adjusting and fitting skis for people who rent our
\nequipment.<\/p>\n
One day a young lady came to my desk in need of skis.
\nI took her rental form and started to read the form
\nand fit her skis. On her rental form it said she was
\nfrom Argentina. I asked her if she was with the group
\nof about 20 or more that came in about a half hour ago
\nwho were also from Argentina. She said no that she was
\nan exchange student and she was with her friend and
\nher friends mom. I thought it was an interesting
\ncoincidence that a large number of Argentines would
\ncome in just before this exchange student who were all
\nfrom the same country.<\/p>\n
As I was filing her rental form in our filing box I
\nnoticed that her name on the form was the renter but
\nthe guardians or payers name was Sund. I thought it
\nwas an interesting or someone was in too much of a
\nhurry to add the letters ay at the end Sund. On the
\nrental form it said \u201cC\/O\u201d meaning care of. This was
\none of the most unusual thing I\u2019ve ever seen in all
\nof my time working on forms in the rental shop and
\nit stood out and I took a mental note of everything
\non the form even the fact the the mother was from
\nCalifornia. Too many similarities between the murder
\nvictims and the rental form and the Arginine I spoke to.<\/p>\n
That year was my first year working in the rental
\nshop. There were no set policies on how to file rental
\nforms. There were many questions that the employees
\nwould ask about filing procedures but we received
\nmany different answers depending on which manager was
\non duty. I filed the form under the name Sund because
\nthat was the name of the guardian or payee. Some
\nemployees were filing forms according to rental due
\ndate and some by date of rental which sometimes could
\nbe a whole week difference. Sometimes you would have
\nemployees filing behind the letters of the
\nalphanumeric or behind the same letter. At the end of
\nthe year we gather all the forms that have filed and
\nsort them by date, occasionally we would find rental
\nforms in the wrong month, not by just a day or 2 but
\nby 20-40 days.<\/p>\n
I heard the news about the killings and watched
\nAmericas Most Wanted on tv and when they showed
\npictures of the 3 women I saw a lift ticket on the
\npants of one women and my memories just clicked. I
\nknew I helped these people in the rental shop because
\nI spoke to an exchange student from Argentina who was
\nwith her friend and her friends mother. And that name
\n, I remember that name because Sund rhymes with Gund.
\nGund is a teddy bear manufacturer and Sund it’s also
\nan incomplete spelling of Sunday. And the fact that
\nthere were so many Argentinians there that day.<\/p>\n
I called Americas Most Wanted told them what I knew
\nand they said they would relay the info but they said my story
\nwas wrong, they had evidence that they were not
\nskiing. I then called the KCRA news room in Sacramento
\nand they said thanks but you should call the FBI heres
\nthere number. Then I called the FBI and they said I
\ndidn’t know what I was talking about and my story and
\ntime line was all wrong.<\/p>\n
The next time I went to work I told my manager Chris about what I knew he said I should keep my mouth
\nshut and not tell anyone. I also found out that on my
\nday off the FBI were in our rental shop going through
\nthe rental forms looking for the Sunds. They found
\nnothing. I told Chris thats probably because
\nyour filing policies are all screwed up and the filing
\nbox is out in public in where anybody can go through it.<\/p>\n
