Sunday, May 9, 1999 7C Paper: Theft suspect linked to kidnap victim MODESTO, Calif. (AP) A woman recently indicted for mail theft had the checking account and automatic teller machine numbers of Carole Sund, who was abducted and killed along with her daughter and a young traveling companion during a trip to Yosemite, investigators said. Rachel Lou Campbell, 36, who is being held without bail in Fresno, is a key witness in the ongoing Sund-Pelosso investigation and is attempting to negotiate a plea arrangement with prosecutors, according to three sources close to the investigation. Details of the case, now in the hands of a Fresno grand jury, were reported Saturday by The Sacramento Bee. Investigators believe that others took information from Sund's ATM and check identification cards and gave it to Campbell with the intention of creating check facsimiles bearing Sund's account number.

The cards were in a portion of Sund's wallet that a citizen found on a Modesto street three days after the sightseers disappeared. The bodies of the Eureka mother, her daughter Juli and their young Argentinian friend Silvina Pelosso were found about a month later in two different locations. Campbell's lawyer, Frank Carson of Modesto, could not be reached Saturday for comment. Earlier, Carson said that his client did not have possession of Sund's account numbers or any involvement in the case. He told the newspaper that Campbell "might have some peripheral knowledge" of the suspects, but she "knows nothing about any murder." Campbell, authorities said, is not a suspect in the killings but is associated with a group of parolees with a history of violence and drug abuse who are undersuspicion.

At least two of the men, Eugene Dykes and Michael Larwick, have been questioned extensively about the murders and are being held without bail on unrelated charges while the grand jury investigation continues.

The argument that there are already existing roads and pipelines on the trail is unconvincing and unacceptable. "That argument says if you've lost a finger it's acceptable to chop off an arm. This segment of the trail is important precisely because of what it is and where it is near an urban area where people may enjoy it and learn its story." The Forest Service and trails association officials want to meet with Caltrans to mitigate the effects of the Truckee Bypass.

"All we are looking for is a minimal response," Wiggins said. "There will be very large adverse affects on the trail, and we want Caltrans to recognize that, take responsibility, and do some things to mitigate the damage." hikers, and grant pedestrian access to the surviving portions of the trail. On March 23, Caltrans officials responded such improvements "are beyond the scope of the mitigation required for this project. (But these) tasks are certainly worthwhile endeavors." Last week, trails association officials received Caltrans' final report on the bypass, which states that the destruction of a portion of the California Trail is acceptable because other portions exist in California and other states. In addition, Caltrans noted other nearby sections of the DonnerCalifornia Trail already have been destroyed because of housing developments, roads and a pipeline project.

Oregon-California Trails Association officials scoffed at the report. "Caltrans' position ignores the reality that the historic California Trail is a linear entity which is com -Vlr From page 1C vide public access to remaining portions of the trail. Caltrans officials did not return phone calls last week, but all the Caltrans' documents for the bypass prpposal acknowledge the historic importance of the trail but state "no adverse impacts" in destroying it. "As the undertaking will constitute a single perpendicular crossing of a long linear feature, it appears it will not diminish the integrity of the California Historic Trail as a whole," Caltrans officials wrote in the bypass' historic resource evaluation report. "(The bypass) will have no effect on the California National Historic Trail." Both the trails association and U.S.

Forest Service officials protested Caltrans' finding last month. The Forest Service manages the site. "The bypass will obliterate a part of the trail," said Joanne B. Roubique, forest service district ranger in Truckee. "The bypass will isolate the property from (the public) and will introduce visual, noise and atmospheric elements that will alter the setting irreversibly." If the bypass is to be built, the trails association has asked Caltrans to conduct a survey of the historic remnants of the DonnerCal-ifornia Trail from Prosser Creek to Donner Creek, provide parking for FREE Seminar on Living Trusts "How to Avoid Probate Minimize Estate Taxes So Your Estate Will Pass on to Your Family, Intact" Attend One of These FREE Seminars SMOKESHOPS RENO: Saturday, May 15 10:00 a.m.-12:00 noon Caughlin Club 4100 Caughlin Parkway CARSON CITY: Tuesday, May 1 1 10:00 a.m.- 12:00 noon The Plaza Motel 801 South Carson Street (across from Carson Station) RENO: Wednesday, May 1 2 3:00 p.m.
