Yosemite killer says he would have struck again if not caught
SAN JOSE — Yosemite killer Cary Stayner told FBI agents that he would have struck again if he hadn’t been caught. .
Stayner’s tape-recorded confession was played Monday to the jury that could give him the death penalty in the killing of three park tourists.
The confession is the centerpiece of prosecutors’ case, who say it details how Stayner plotted the killings, how he carried them out and how he tried to throw investigators off his trail.
On the tape, Stayner said he wanted tell someone that he had killed tourists Carole Sund, 42, her daughter, Juli, 15, and their friend Silvina Pelosso, 16, in February 1999 and then six months later beheaded park nature guide Joie Armstrong. But he kept quiet until the FBI interrogated him.
