The Sunds had shown her Disneyland and the Bay Area, and on Feb. 12, Sund flew to San Francisco with the girls and rented a car so they could drive to Yosemite. They stopped in Stockton, where Julie Sund competed in a state...
...says former Miami Metro Dade detective Gary Yallelus, who along with his partner, John Little, first identified the ring.
