In February 1999 a woman and two teenagers disappeared while on a sightseeing trip at the majestic Yosemite Park. A massive search ended four weeks later when their burned out car was discovered by a hiker.

Police tracked down several suspects and put them behind bars on unrelated charges, assuring the public that the people responsible for the brutal murders were in jail. Then in July 1999 a fourth woman was murdered near the park.

On this episode of History of the 90s we look back at the case of the Yosemite Park Killer.
