Hi an Welcome to Peculiar Occurrence I am your host Lilith Nova
(Intro)
On 25th July 1981, 14 year old, Stacey Arras, from Saratoga, went on a horse riding trip with her father, George, and seven others in the Sunrise Meadows area of Yosemite National Park in California.
After riding a few hours, they stopped at some cabins at Sunrise High Sierra Camp, around 3 miles South East of Tenaya Lake and 1.5 miles from Sunrise Lakes. The group decided to freshen up after the ride, having planned to stay the night. Sunrise camp is 9,400 feet above sea level and the last one on the fifty-mile High Sierra Camp Loop. Nine cabins provide beds for 34 guests and it is set against a lovely alpine meadow facing Mt. Florence and Mt. Clark
Once they arrived
Stacey cleaned up, showered and changed clothes. An older member of the group, Gerald Stuart (who was 72 years,old) was sitting on a boulder about 100 feet away from the cabins. Stacey told her Dad she would go for a walk close to where Gerald was sitting to stretch her legs after the horse ride and to take some pictures of the views. She asked her Dad if he wanted to go with her but he told her he'd pass on this occasion. The last conversation she had with her Dad before leaveing he advised her to change from her flip-flops to hiking boots. She did as he requested
Everybody saw her as she walked over to the boulder with the 72 year old man name Gerald and take some pictures. After a while she told Gerald she was going to take a walk to a nearby lake . There where2 ways she could have went 1st was just a few hundred yards to a flooded area in (lower) Long Meadow or the longer walk to Sunrise lakes which would have been about 1.5 miles away It was not clear which way she took.
Stacey had planned to take some more pictures of the lake and Geraled offered to accompany her.
After a little while walking down the hill the elderly man felt tired and sat down, the rest of the group watching from up above saw the man sit down. They all watched as Stacey went on a little further towards the lake, go behind some trees and eventually disappear from sight. This was the last time she was ever seen. After a while when Stacey didn't return, Gerald got concerned Gerald returned back towards the cabin area and gathered the group for a search. The horse riding group had no luck, So they reported her missing and summoned a search and rescue. Gerald told park officials that he had spoken to a group of people coming from the direction that Stacey had taken, but they had not seen the girl
A huge search involving up to 100-150 people (including 67 Mountain Rescue Association (MRA) volunteers representing most of the Region's teams) and search and rescue dogs were deployed over 10 days, concentrating on a 3-5 square mile area around Sunrise Lakes . Three helicopters were also used in the search, with the park's own contract chopper in the air for over 40 hours. Despite the efforts of SAR teams, the only thing ever found was the lens cap from Stacey's camera, just inside the tree line from where she walked in to the area by the lake.
Since she was wearing tooth braces, if her skeleton is ever found it will be easier to identify, but 36 years and no sign has ever been found of Stacey, her camera or her clothing.
It seems likely she was abducted given no signs of animal attack or her camera and given the proximity of Stacey's hike to the camp it would be implausible for her to get lost on her way to the lake. The Fresno Bee reported on July 28th, 1981 that Stacey was having some family or school troubles and was missing her boyfriend, but if she was intending to disappear why did she originally leave the camp in completely inappropriate footwear before her father intervened? As well since they had hourses why didn't she take one to ride if she planed on running away. A very strange disappearance from Yosemite.
Something else very Peculiar about all of this is. This was a story that was included in the book Missing 411 by David Paulaties When he researched for his books on Missing people in natanal Forests he collected case files from all over the United States using the freedom of information act.
When David Paulides was researching the Stacy Arras case, He was denied twice for a Freedom of information requestions for Stacy , during one phone conversation he was told quite bluntly that "he would never get this case" by the lead detective. who also broke state an fearal law by demainding to know what he wanted the file for. They are not alowed to even ask yet he did.
Why would he do that. That's quite Peculiar don't you think?
david never got his hands on that file. But was able to get the information that was stated here about the case an search an rescue eforts from a Organization called
CHINA LAKE MOUNTAIN RESCUE GROUP or CLMRG for short.
CLMRG is an all-volunteer, non-profit organization which provides search and rescue services on an on-call basis. It is sponsored by the Naval Air Weapons Station at China Lake, CA, responds to the Kern County Sheriff Department, and is a member of the Mountain Rescue Association (MRA). The primary mission of the China Lake Mountain Rescue Group is search and rescue of lost or injured persons, any season of the year, in the mountains and desert or in any type of wilderness terrain.
The 100 to 150 volenteers that searched for stacy where mainly from this assotiation an thus far the only ones willing to talk about itor release files about it.
Stacy was last seen wearing an off-white, pullover windbreaker, white jersey blouse, leggings, grey hiking boots and also had metal braces on her teeth.
She was 5"5 120 pounds at the time of disapeerence
She was a Caucasian femal with blonde hair and blue eyes.
She was born on 09/29/1966 and went missing on 07/17/1981
