This is near where you're from, kind of. Kind of. It's the Central Valley. Okay. We're more on the coast. Okay. So more than a month later, the remains of Carol Sund and Peloso were found in the burned out rental car abandoned along a logging road. And six days later, the FBI received an anonymous letter with a crudely drawn map and a message. We had fun with this one.
And following the map, the searchers found Julie. The detectives began interviewing employees of the Cedar Lodge Motel where the first three victims had been staying just before their deaths. One of the employees was Kerry, but he was not considered a suspect at that point because no criminal history and remained calm during the police interview. Fucking psychopath, right? Oh my God.
FBI agents and local police rounded up a bunch of meth heads and sex offenders and told the tourists and residents that they were confident they had the killers in custody.
that okay so another woman disappears on july 22nd this is joey ruth armstrong j-o-i-e who is 26 she's a pretty redhead who worked for the yosemite institute teaching children about nature oh sweet angel she worked at the let's see that was lone in the isolated cabin where she lived when carrie came upon her man we can't have anything We can't even live alone.
Well, but living in a cabin alone in the woods. Yeah, but guys get to do it. What? Guys get to live alone in a cabin in the woods without getting murdered for the most part.
Or big dogs, big, angry, scary dogs.
No, I get it. Don't be all chill. Yeah. I wouldn't want to live. I like living in a big city where there's just people everywhere. Yeah. On top of you all the time. So according to the interview, Carrie confronted Armstrong at gunpoint on the front porch of her cabin. Oh, he had a gun. Yeah.
He told her it was a robbery and forced her into the cabin and covered her mouth and bound her hands behind her back with duct tape. Then he put her in his sports utility vehicle. SUV. I could have just said that. That's an SUV. Thank you. Someone needed an extra word count in their newspaper piece, right? Did you also draw a picture? Yeah. Page five is just one big picture.
Well, I copied a couple of these sentences and that was one of them. And now I'm like, that guy just needed a higher word count. Oh, yeah. For sure. Yeah. He said, I lost control of myself and I lost control of her. Let's see. He said, when this started out, I had no intention of cutting her head off, which he later did. Spoiler alert. Man. He says he has no intention of cutting her head off.
I had no intentions of killing her even the first time I saw her. Yeah, right. Then I started thinking about it. It was in the house. There was nobody in the house with her. She kept walking out by herself and she watered the plants and it was obvious she was taking off and getting ready to go. That's when I started talking to her. So the assistant U.S. attorney said,
then okay in court papers it was said after he had driven a short distance she dove head first out of the wind through the window out of the moving truck and still bound with duct tape ran through the woods toward the nearby community of Farista to get help hell yeah girl good for you fight your fucking last fight yeah you know I don't know if that was the right saying
While Carrie ultimately subdued Armstrong, she fought so crazy and with such passion that Stainer wasn't able to do his normal cleanup job, like obsessive cleanup job. He disposed of her beheaded body in a nearby stream and the head turned up 27 feet away. In a hurry, he fleed. He fled. He fleed. No, he fleed, Carrie. Don't fucking correct me when I say- Letter count, letter count. He fleed.
Sorry to correct you. No, you're right. He fled. A source close to the investigation. Oh my God. I think you were pointing that out. No, I did not catch that.
says it was a fight from start to finish she tried to get away and she almost did get away and those several minutes of struggle left behind a lot of evidence her determined fight for life denied him the chance to cover up the crime scene and it led to his capture and undoubtedly saved other lives yes honey she basically ended it yep by fighting that hard she fucking fought so hard that he lost it and like
So in his haste, he left behind footprints and basically his car was seen around the area. It was really distinctive. The tire tracks were as well. And so the vehicle was traced to him and he was arrested. And during his interrogation, he confessed to all four murders. He pled not guilty by reason of insanity.
And a doctor testified that he had mild autism, obsessive compulsive disorder, and paraphilia. At one point during the trial, the judge, Thomas C. Hastings, had to leave the courtroom so he could compose himself in private because the testimony was so fucked up. Oh, no. He returned several minutes later, red-faced and misty-eyed. A judge.
The circumstances of this case are horrendous and devastating, he said before announcing the sentence. Kerry was found sane and convicted of four counts of first degree murder by a jury in 2001. He was sentenced to death and is still in San Quentin.
He claimed after his arrest, so everyone's like, did you get these murderous tendencies because of the stuff with your brother and all this like horrible stuff that happened as a kid? But he said after his arrest that he had fantasized about murdering women since he was seven years old, long before the abduction of his brother.
So what are the chances like those two traumatic fucked up things are going to happen in one family? So awful. Okay. And then I went on Facebook and found a hometown murder from a reader. So I'm going to read it. Okay. So Taylor C says in June of 1999, I was 11 and my brother was eight. My family and I went on a road trip to Yosemite from LA and all caps,
stayed in the cedar lodge motel this is for everyone this is right between the murder of the three women and the murder of a single woman like months before like months in between oh man around 9 30 at night my brother and i were watching batman and robin and we get a knock at the door my mom looks through the peephole sees some dude and asks what he wants he says pizza delivery
